PROTECTION OF THE INDIVIDUALS
Plasma cutting can be dangerous and can cause serious and even fatal injuries.
Cutting exposes the user to dangerous heat, arc rays, electromagnetic fields, noise, gas fumes, and electrical shocks. People wearing pacemakers are
advised to consult with their doctor before using this device.
To protect oneself as well as the other, ensure the following safety precautions are taken:
In order to protect you from burns and radiations, wear clothing without cuffs. These clothes must be insulated, dry, fireproof and
in good condition, and cover the whole body.
Wear protective gloves which guarantee electrical and thermal insulation.
Use sufficient welding protective gear for the whole body: hood, gloves, jacket, trousers... (varies depending on the application/
operation). Protect the eyes during cleaning operations. Do not operate whilst wearing contact lenses.
It may be necessary to install fireproof welding curtains to protect the area against arc rays, weld spatters and sparks.
Inform the people around the working area to never look at the arc nor the molten metal, and to wear protective clothes.
Ensure ear protection is worn by the operator if the work exceeds the authorised noise limit (the same applies to any person in
the welding area).
Stay away from moving parts (e.g. engine, fan...) with hands, hair, clothes etc...
Never remove the safety covers from the cooling unit when the machine is plugged in - The manufacturer is not responsible for
any accident or injury that happens as a result of not following these safety precautions.
The pieces that have just been welded are hot and may cause burns when manipulated. During maintenance work on the torch or
the electrode holder, you should make sure it's cold enough and wait at least 10 minutes before any intervention. The cooling unit
must be on when using a water cooled torch in order to ensure that the liquid does not cause any burns.
ALWAYS ensure the working area is left as safe and secure as possible to prevent damage or accidents.
PLASMA AND GAS CUTTING FUMES
The fumes, gases and dust emitted by plasma cutting are dangerous to health. It is necessary to provide sufficient ventilation, an
air supply is sometimes necessary. A fresh air mask may be a solution in case of insufficient ventilation.
Check that the suction is effective by checking it against safety standards.
Caution Plasma cutting in small environments requires remote security monitoring. In addition, plasma cutting of certain materials containing lead,
cadmium, zinc, mercury or even beryllium can be particularly harmful.
Also degrease the parts before cutting them.
Bottles must be stored in open or well ventilated rooms. They must be in an upright position and held on a support or trolley.
Plasma cutting should not be used near grease or paint.
