LIGHT AND RADIANT ENERGY
When it is necessary to look directly at the arc for diagnostic purposes, do so briefly.
Use shade #10 welding glass (for up to 200 amps) or shade #12 (for 200 amps).
During operation, use a shade not less than #8.
WARNING
Do not look directly at the arc without proper eye protection.
NOTE: During plasma arc cutting, clothing worn should conform to the
instructions presented in the General Safety Requirements section
of this manual.
Ultraviolet rays and other radiant energy reflected off the workpiece can produce
sunburn. Therefore, when plasma arc cutting is being performed, anyone working
within 25 feet (7.5M) of the arc should wear an approved, protective full-face mask, a
long-sleeved shirt, gloves, and long pants.
Operations, such as edge cutting, that can cause the arc to be exposed to view
should be avoided, because they can increase exposure to radiant energy.
Shield personnel at nearby workstations from accidental exposure to radiant energy
by the use of non-reflective, fireproof enclosures, open at the top and at floor level to
allow air to circulate freely.
The pilot arc in the plasma cutting systems is initiated and stabilized by a
high-voltage signal. This signal can create electromagnetic interference.
As with any equipment that can create such interference (e.g., microwave ovens and
TIG welders), people who have implanted heart pacemakers must exercise caution
when working near the equipment. Piranha recommends that a person with a
pacemaker who works near where plasma arc cutting is being performed should
wear a Holter monitor for one day of work to record the existence of electromagnetic
fields. A qualified doctor should review the recorded data with the pacemaker
manufacturer to determine whether the worker can safely continue working in the
area on which the study is based.
NOTE: There is no history of problems caused to pacemakers by the
plasma arc cutting equipment that have been reported to Piranha.
