1.02 Important Safety Precautions
!
WARNING
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF
PLASMA ARC EQUIPMENT CAN BE DAN-
GEROUS AND HAZARDOUS TO YOUR
HEALTH.
Plasma arc cutting produces intense electric
and magnetic emissions that may interfere
with the proper function of cardiac pacemak-
ers, hearing aids, or other electronic health
equipment. Persons who work near plasma
arc cutting applications should consult their
medical health professional and the manufac-
turer of the health equipment to determine
whether a hazard exists.
To prevent possible injury, read, understand
and follow all warnings, safety precautions
and instructions before using the equipment.
Call 1-603-298-5711 or your local distributor
if you have any questions.
GASES AND FUMES
Gases and fumes produced during the plasma cutting
process can be dangerous and hazardous to your health.
• Keep all fumes and gases from the breathing area.
Keep your head out of the welding fume plume.
• Use an air-supplied respirator if ventilation is not
adequate to remove all fumes and gases.
• The kinds of fumes and gases from the plasma arc
depend on the kind of metal being used, coatings
on the metal, and the different processes. You must
be very careful when cutting or welding any metals
which may contain one or more of the following:
Antimony
Chromium Mercury
Arsenic
Cobalt
Nickel
Barium
Copper
Selenium
Beryllium
Lead
Silver
Cadmium
Manganese Vanadium
• Always read the Material Safety Data Sheets (SDS/
GHS) that should be supplied with the material
you are using. These SDS/GHSs will give you
the information regarding the kind and amount of
fumes and gases that may be dangerous to your
health.
• For information on how to test for fumes and
gases in your workplace, refer to item 1 in "1.03
Publications" on page 1-2 in this manual.
• Use special equipment, such as water or down draft
cutting tables, to capture fumes and gases.
• Do not use the plasma torch in an area where com-
bustible or explosive gases or materials are located.
• Phosgene, a toxic gas, is generated from the vapors
of chlorinated solvents and cleansers. Remove all
sources of these vapors.
•
WARNING:
This product contains chemicals,

uses and produces high voltage electrical energy. This
electric energy can cause severe or fatal shock to the
operator or others in the workplace.
