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.
