Important Safety Precautions
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PLASMA EQUIPMENT CAN BE DANGEROUS
AND HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
Plasma cutting produces intense electric and magnetic emissions that may interfere with the proper
function of cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids, or other electronic health equipment. Persons who work
near plasma cutting applications should consult their medical health professional and the manufacturer
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.
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 cutting 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 any metals which may
contain one or more of the following:
Antimo

Chromiu

Mercury Berylliu

Arsenic Cobalt Nickel Lead
Barium Copper Seleniu

Always read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) that should be supplied with the material you are
using. These MSDSs will give you the information regarding the kind and amount of fumes and gases
that may be dangerous to your health.
• 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 combustible/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.
ELECTRIC SHOCK
Electric Shock can injure or kill. The plasma process uses and produces high voltage electrical energy.
This electric energy can cause severe or fatal shock to the operator or others in the workplace.
• Never touch any parts that are electrically “live” or “hot.”
• Wear dry gloves and clothing. Insulate yourself from the work piece or other parts of the cutting
