GASES AND FUMES
Gases and fumes produced during the plasma welding 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 (MSDS) that should be
supplied with the material you are using. These MSDS’s will give you
the information regarding the kind and mount 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 I in the Publications Section 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 combustible 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, when used for welding or cutting, produces
fumes or gases which contain chemicals known to the State of California
to cause birth detects and, in some cases, cancer.
