•
Do not modify any wiring, ground connections, switches, or fuses in this cutting equipment.
•
Wear welding gloves to help insulate hands from welding circuit.
•
Keep all liquid containers far enough away from the cutter and work area so that if spilled, the
liquid can not possibly come in contact with any part of the cutter or electrical welding circuit.
•
Replace any cracked or damaged parts that are insulated or act as insulators such as
cables, power cord, or torch IMMEDIATELY.
EMF INFORMATION
WARNING
Cutting current will cause electromagnetic fields as it flows through cables and internal wiring. There
has been and continues to be some concern and research about such fields. Until the final
conclusions of the research are reached, you may wish to minimize your exposure to electromagnetic
fields when welding or cutting.
To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace:
•
Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them.
•
Arrange cables to one side and away from you.
•
Do not coil or drape cables around your body.
•
Keep cutting power source and cables as far away from you as practical.
•
Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the cut as possible.
About Pacemakers:
Pacemaker wearers consult your doctor first. If cleared by your doctor, then following the above
procedures is recommended.
FLASH HAZARDS
WARNING
ARC RAYS CAN INJURE EYES AND BURN SKIN! To reduce risk of injury from arc
rays, read, understand, and follow the following safety instructions. In addition, make
certain that anyone else that uses this cutting equipment, or is a bystander in the
cutting area, understands and follows these safety instructions as well.
•
retina can be burned, leaving a permanent dark spot in the field of vision. A shield or helmet
with a number 8-shade filter lens (minimum) must be used.
•
Do not strike a cutting arc until all bystanders and you (the welder) have welding shields
and/or helmets in place.
•
Do not wear a cracked or broken helmet and replace any cracked or broken filter lenses
IMMEDIATELY.
•
Provide bystanders with shields or helmets fitted with a number 8-shade filter lens.
•
Wear protective clothing. The intense light of the cutting arc can burn the skin in much the
same way as the sun, even through lightweight clothing. Wear dark clothing of heavy
material. The shirt worn should be long sleeved and the collar kept buttoned to protect chest
and neck.
•
Protect against REFLECTED ARC RAYS. Arc rays can be reflected off shiny surfaces such
as a glossy painted surface, aluminum, stainless steel, and glass. It is possible for your eyes
to be injured by reflected arc rays even when wearing a protective helmet or shield. If cutting
with a reflective surface behind you, arc rays can bounce off the surface, then off the filter
lens on the inside of your helmet or shield, then into your eyes. If a reflective background
exists in your cutting area, either remove it or cover it with something nonflammable and non-
reflective. Reflected arc rays can also cause skin burn in addition to eye injury.
Do not look at an electric arc without proper protection. A cutting arc is
extremely bright and intense and, with inadequate or no eye protection, the
