MANUAL 430429-447 3GENERAL
WARNING
1.02 IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PLASMA ARC EQUIPMENT
CAN BE DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
To prevent possible injury, read, understand and follow all warnings, safety precautions and
instructions before using the equipment. Call 1-937-440-0100 or your local distributor if you have any
questions.
GASES AND FUMES Gases and fumes produced during the plasma welding process can be
dangerous and hazardous to your health.
•Keep all fumes and gases from the breathing area. Keep your head out
of the welding fume plume.
•Use an air-supplied respirator if ventilation is not adequate to remove
all fumes and gases.
•The kinds of fumes and gases from the plasma arc depend on the kind
of metal being used, coatings on the metal, and the different
processes. You must be very careful when cutting or welding any
metals which may contain one or more of the following:
Antimony Chromium Mercury
Arsenic Cobalt Nickel
Barium Copper Selenium
Beryllium Lead Silver
Cadmium Manganese Vanadium
•Always read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) that should be
supplied with the material you are using. These MSDSs will give you
the information regarding the kind and mount of fumes and gases
that may be dangerous to your health.
•For information on how to test for fumes and gases in your
workplace, refer to item I in the Publications Section in this manual.
Use special equipment, such as water or down draft cutting tables, to
capture fumes and gases.
•Do not use the plasma torch in an area where combustible or
explosive gases or materials are located.
•Phosgene, a toxic gas, is generated from the vapors of chlorinated
solvents and cleansers. Remove all sources of these vapors.
WARNING:
This product, when used for welding or cutting, produces
fumes or gases which contain chemicals known to the State of California
to cause birth detects and, in some cases, cancer.
(California Health & Safety Code Section 25249.5 et seq.)
GENERAL 4MANUAL 430429-447
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED)
ELECTRIC SHOCK Electric Shock can injure or kill. The plasma arc process uses and
produces high voltage electrical energy. This electric energy can cause
severe or fatal shock to the operator or others in the workplace.
•Never touch any parts that are electrically "live" or "hot."
•Wear dry gloves and clothing. Insulate yourself from the work piece
or other parts of the welding circuit.
•Repair or replace all worn or damaged parts.
•Extra care must be taken when the workplace is moist or damp.
•Install and maintain equipment according to NEC code, refer to item 4
in the Publications section of this manual.
•Disconnect power source before performing any service or repairs.
•Read and follow all the instructions in the Operating Manual.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION Fire and explosion can be caused by hot slag, sparks, or the plasma arc.
•Be sure there is no combustible or flammable material in the
workplace. Any material that cannot be removed must be protected.
•Ventilate all flammable or explosive vapors from the workplace.
•Do not cut or weld on containers that may have held combustibles.
•Provide a fire watch when working in an area where fire hazards may
exist.
•Hydrogen gas may be formed and trapped under aluminum
workpieces when they are cut underwater or while using a water
table. DO NOT cut aluminum alloys underwater or on a water table
unless the hydrogen gas can be eliminated or dissipated. Trapped
hydrogen gas that is ignited will cause an explosion.
NOISE Noise can cause permanent hearing loss. Plasma arc processes can cause
noise levels to exceed safe limits. You must protect your ears from loud
noise to prevent permanent loss of hearing.
•To protect your hearing from loud noise, wear protective ear plugs
and/or ear muffs Protect others in the workplace.
•Noise levels should be measured to be sure the decibels (sound) do
not exceed safe levels.
•For information on how to test for noise, see item 1 in the Publications
section of this manual.
MANUAL 430429-447 5GENERAL
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED)
PLASMA ARC RAYS Plasma Arc Rays can injure your eyes and burn your skin. The plasma
arc process produces very bright ultra violet and infra red light. These
arc rays will damage your eyes and bum your skin if you are not
properly protected
•To protect your eyes, always wear a welding helmet or shield. Also
always wear safety glasses with side shields, goggles or other
protective eye wear.
•Wear welding gloves and suitable clothing to protect your skin from
the arc rays and sparks.
•Keep helmet and safety glasses in good condition. Replace lenses
when cracked, chipped or dirty.
•Protect others in the work area from the arc rays. Use protective
booths, screens or shields.
•Use the shade of lens as recommended in the Operating Manual.
