ELECTRICAL AND MAGNETIC FIELDS
Electric current used with plasma cutting creates electric and magnetic
fields (EMF). These magnetic fields can have an effect on pacemakers
and other sensitive electronic equipment. If you wear a pacemaker or
similar device contact your doctor before operating this type of
equipment. Prolonged exposure to EMF may have other health effects
which are not yet known.
CUTTING SPARKS
A spark or piece of hot metal can fly out of the arc while cutting.
Remove all flammable materials from the plasma cutting area.
Wear approved eye protection, and proper hand and body
protection. Make sure the cutting tip is not grounded when sitting
idle, which could cause heat buildup, resulting in a possible fire.
PROTECT SKIN
Keep hands and body protected from the plasma arc
and hot sparks. The heat from the plasma arc is very
intense and can pierce the skin resulting in serious
burns. Always wear gloves and suitable clothing.
DO
NOT touch hot piece part without gloves.
DUST HAZARD
Wear appropriate dust mask. Dust created while using machinery can
cause cancer, birth defects, and long term respiratory damage. Be aware
of the dust hazards associated with all types of materials.
