Importantes

AVERTISSEMENT

L’OPÉRATION ET LA MAINTENANCE DU
MATÉRIEL DE SOUDAGE À L’ARC AU JET
DE PLASMA PEUVENT PRÉSENTER DES
RISQUES ET DES DANGERS DE SANTÉ.

Il faut communiquer aux opérateurs et au person-
nel TOUS les dangers possibles. Afin d’éviter les
blessures possibles, lisez, comprenez et suivez tous
les avertissements, toutes les précautions de
sécurité et toutes les consignes avant d’utiliser le
matériel. Composez le + 603-298-5711 ou votre
distributeur local si vous avez des questions.

FUMÉE et GAZ

La fumée et les gaz produits par le procédé de jet de
plasma peuvent présenter des risques et des dangers de
santé.

• Eloignez toute fumée et gaz de votre zone de respi-

ration. Gardez votre tête hors de la plume de fumée
provenant du chalumeau.

• Utilisez un appareil respiratoire à alimentation en

air si l’aération fournie ne permet pas d’éliminer la
fumée et les gaz.

• Les sortes de gaz et de fumée provenant de l’arc de

plasma dépendent du genre de métal utilisé, des
revêtements se trouvant sur le métal et des différents
procédés. Vous devez prendre soin lorsque vous
coupez ou soudez tout métal pouvant contenir un
ou plusieurs des éléments suivants:

antimoine

cadmium

mercure

argent

chrome

nickel

arsenic

cobalt

plomb

baryum

cuivre

sélénium

béryllium

manganèse

vanadium

• Lisez toujours les fiches de données sur la sécurité

des matières (sigle américain “MSDS”); celles-ci
devraient être fournies avec le matériel que vous
utilisez. Les MSDS contiennent des renseignements
quant à la quantité et la nature de la fumée et des
gaz pouvant poser des dangers de santé.

• Pour des informations sur la manière de tester la

fumée et les gaz de votre lieu de travail, consultez
l’article 1 et les documents cités à la page 5.
