ARC RAYS CAN BURN!
• Use a shield with the proper fi lter (a minimum of #11) to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when cutting or when observing open
arc cutting (see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 for safety standards).
• Use suitable clothing made from durable fl ame-resistant material to protect your skin. Protect nearby
individuals with a non-fl ammable barrier.
• Wear safety glasses under your welding helmet with side shields.
• If other persons are in the area of cutting use welding screens to protect bystanders from sparks and arc rays.
HOT METAL WILL BURN!
• Electric cutting operations cause sparks and heat metal to temperatures that will cause severe burns!
• Use protective gloves and clothing when performing any Plasma Cutter operations. Always wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts
and leather welding gloves.
• Make sure that all persons in the cutting area are protected from heat, sparks and ultraviolet rays.
Use additional face shields and fl ame resistant barriers as needed.
• Never touch work piece until it has completely cooled.
ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS MAY BE DANGEROUS!
•
The electromagnetic fi eld that is generated during plasma cutting may interfere with various electrical and electronic devices such as cardiac pace-
makers. Anyone using such devices should consult with their physician prior to performing any electric cutting operations.
• Exposure to electromagnetic fi elds while plasma cutting may have other health effects which are not known.
FLYING METAL CHIPS CAN CAUSE INJURY!
• Cutting, brushing, hammering, chipping, and grinding can cause fl ying metal chips and sparks.
• To prevent injury wear approved safety glasses.
MAGNETIC FIELDS CAN AFFECT PACEMAKERS!
• Any user with a pacemaker should consult their doctor before use.
• Anyone with a pacemaker should stay away from any plasma cutting before consulting a doctor.
NOTICE!
• Do not touch the contact tip with the unit turned “on”. Turn the unit “off” before changing tips or cleaning the nozzle.
