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.” 

                                                                                  1 

•    Wear dry gloves and clothing. Insulate yourself from the work piece or other parts of the cutting circuit. 

•    Repair or replace all worn or damaged parts. 

•    Extra care must be taken when the workplace is moist or damp. 

•    Disconnect power source before performing any service or repairs. 

•    Read and follow all the instructions in the Operating Manual. 

 

FIRE AND EXPLOSION 

 

Fire and explosion can be caused by hot slag, sparks, or the plasma arc. 

 

•    Be  sure  there  is  no  combustible  or  flammable  material  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 work pieces when they are cut underwater 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 dissipated. Trapped hydrogen gas that is ignited will cause an explosion. 

 

 

NOISE 

 

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 protective 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. 

 

PLASMA ARC RAYS 

 

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 cutting helmet or shield.    Also  always wear safety glasses with side
