HARMFUL FUMES AND GASES
Harmful fumes and metallic powders are produced during the cutting
operation. Metals which are painted or coated or which contain mercury,
cadmium, zinc, lead and graphite may produce harmful concentrations of
toxic fumes during cutting. To protect the operator or other persons from
exposure to possible toxic fumes, fume respirators should be worn and work
areas should be adequately ventilated.
When working in enclosed environments, suction units should be fitted below
the cutting areas.
CAUTION: IF DURING THE CUTTING OPERATION A SLIGHT ELECTRIC

UNTIL THE FAULT HAS BEEN DISCOVERED AND RESOLVED.
CAUTION: WHEN HALOGENATED SOLVENTS OR DEGREASING AGENTS
ARE PRESENT, THE MATERIAL TO BE CUT SHOULD BE CLEANED PROPERLY
TO PREVENT THE FORMATION OF TOXIC GASES. SOME CHLORINATED
SOLVENTS MAY DECOMPOSE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE RADIATION GIVEN
OUT BY THE ARC AND MAY GENERATE PHOSGENE GAS.7
