ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS
WARNING! Stop welding immediately and move away from
the plasma cutting machine if you feel faint, dizzy, nausea or
shocks. Seek medical attention.
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) can interfere with electronic
devices such as pacemakers. Anyone with a pacemaker should
consult with their doctor before working with or near an arc
welding unit. The following steps can minimize the effects of
electromagnetic fields.
1. Twist or tape cables together and prevent coils.
2. Do not drape cables on your body.
3. Keep the welding power source and cables as far away
from the user as practical. A minimum of 24 in. is
recommended.
4. Connect the workpiece clamp as close to the weld as
possible, but lay the electrode and workpiece cables away
from the user.
5. Use the lowest current setting possible during welding.
6. Avoid long and regular bursts of energy while welding.
Apply the electrode in short strokes and intermittently. This
will prevent the pacemaker from interpreting the signal as a
rapid heartbeat.
7. Do not allow the electrode to touch the metal while welding.
8. Wrap the lead cable and ground cable together whenever
possible.
9. Keep the lead cable and ground cables on the same side of
your body.
