GENERAL INFORMATION 1-2 0-5574
WARNING
Fire and explosion can be caused by hot slag,
sparks, or the plasma arc.
• Be sure there is no combustible or flammable ma
-
terial in the workplace. Any material that cannot
be removed must be protected.
• Ventilate all flammable or explosive vapors from
the workplace.
• Do not cut or weld on containers that may have
held combustibles.
• Provide a fire watch when working in an area
where fire hazards may exist.
• Hydrogen gas may be formed and trapped under
aluminum workpieces when they are cut under-
water or while using a water table. DO NOT cut
aluminum alloys underwater or on a water table
unless the hydrogen gas can be eliminated or dis-
sipated. Trapped hydrogen gas that is ignited will
cause an explosion.
WARNING
Noise can cause permanent hearing loss.
Plasma arc processes can cause noise levels to
exceed safe limits. You must protect your ears
from loud noise to prevent permanent loss of
hearing.
• To protect your hearing from loud noise, wear pro
-
tective ear plugs and / or ear muffs. Protect others
in the workplace.
• Noise levels should be measured to be sure the
decibels (sound) do not exceed safe levels.
• For information on how to test for noise, see item
1 in Subsection 1.03, Publications, in this manual.
WARNING
Plasma Arc Rays can injure your eyes and burn
your skin. The plasma arc process produces very
bright ultra violet and infra red light. These arc
rays will damage your eyes and burn your skin if
you are not properly protected.
• To protect your eyes, always wear a welding
helmet or shield. Also always wear safety glasses
with side shields, goggles or other protective eye
wear.
• Wear welding gloves and suitable clothing to pro
-
tect your skin from the arc rays and sparks.
• Keep helmet and safety glasses in good condition.
Replace lenses when cracked, chipped or dirty.
• Protect others in the work area from the arc rays.
Use protective booths, screens or shields.
• Use the shade of lens as suggested in the follow
-
