•
Read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and the manufacturer's
instructions for metals, consumables, coatings, cleaners, and degreasers.
•
Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing an air-
supplied respirator. Always have a trained watchperson nearby. Welding
fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury
or death. Be sure the breathing air is safe.
•
Do not weld/cut in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying
operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form highly
toxic and irritating gases.
•
Do not weld/cut on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium
plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the weld/cut area, the area
is well ventilated, and if necessary, while wearing an air-supplied respirator.
The coatings and any metals containing
fumes if heated.
ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin
The plasma cutting arc produces ultraviolet (UV) and infrared
(IR) rays that can cause injury to your eyes and skin. Do not
look at the plasma cutting arc without proper eye protection.
•
Wear a welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of filter to protect your face
and eyes when welding/cutting or watching (see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1
listed in Safety Standards 1.4).
•
Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your helmet.
•
Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash and glare;
warn others not to watch the arc.
•
Wear protective clothing made from durable, flame-resistant material
(leather and wool) and foot protection.
CUTTING can cause fire or explosion.
Cutting on closed containers, such as tanks, drums, or pipes,
can cause them to blow up. Sparks can fly off from the plasma
cutting arc. The flying sparks, hot work-piece, and hot
equipment can cause fires and burns. Accidental contact of the
torch to metal objects can cause sparks, explosion, overheating,
or fire. Check and be sure the area is safe before cutting.
