6.
Turn off all equipment when not in use. Disconnect power to equipment if it will be left
unattended or out of service.
7.
Never dip the plasma torch in water to cool it.
8.
Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or poorly spliced cables.
9.
Do not wrap cables around your body.
10.
Connect work piece to a good electrical ground.
11.
Do not touch the torch tip machine is connected to power supply.
12.
Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or replace damaged parts as soon as practical.
13.4.6
Fumes And Gases
WARNING! Plasma cutting produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes
and gases can be hazardous to your health.
1.
Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.
2.
If inside, ventilate the area and/or use an exhaust at the arc to remove plasma cutting fumes and
gases.
3.
If ventilation is poor, use an approved supplied-air respirator (PAPR).
4.
Read the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and the manufacturer’s instruction for the metals,
consumables, coatings, and cleaners.
5.
Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing an air-supplied respirator.
Be sure the breathing air is safe.
6.
Do not use plasma cutter in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat
and rays of the arc can react with vapours to form highly toxic and irritating gases.
7.
Do not plasma cut on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, unless
the coating is removed from the cut area, the area is well ventilated, and if necessary, while
wearing an air- supplied respirator. The coatings and any metals containing these elements can
give off toxic fumes if plasma cut.
13.4.7
Fire & Explosive Risks
WARNING! Sparks and spatter fly off when plasma cutting. The flying sparks
and hot metal, weld spatter, work piece, and hot equipment can cause fires and
burns.
Accidental contact of torch tip to metal objects can cause sparks, overheating, or fire.
1.
Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal.
2.
Do not operate where flying sparks can strike flammable material.
3.
Remove all flammables within 10m of the plasma cutting site.
