Plasma arc cutting produces intense electric and magnetic emissions that may interfere with the proper
function of cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids, or other electronic health equipment. Persons who work near
plasma arc cutting applications should consult their medical health qualified technician and the manufacturer
of the health equipment to deter- mine whether a hazard exists.
To prevent possible injury, read, understand and follow all warnings, safety precautions and instructions before
using the equipment.
GASES AND FUMES GASES AND FUMES
GASES AND FUMES GASES AND FUMES
Gases and fumes produced during the plasma cutting process can be dangerous and hazardous to your health.
Keep all fumes and gases from the breathing area. Keep your head out of the cutting 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 cutting any metals which may
contain one or more of the following:
Antimony
Arsenic
Barium
Cadmium
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 amount of fumes and gases that may be
dangerous to your health.
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.

ELECTRIC SHOCK

ELECTRIC SHOCK ELECTRIC SHOCK 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 cutting circuit.
Repair or replace all worn or damaged parts.
Extra care must be taken when the workplace is moist or damp.
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
FIRE AND EXPLOSION 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.
