f. Do not dispose of hot slag in containers holding combustible materials.
Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and know how to use it.
g. After welding or cutting, make a thorough examination for evidence of
fire. Be aware that easily visible smoke or flame may not be pre
sent for some time after the fire has started. Do not weld or cut
in atmospheres containing
h. Dangerously reactive or flammable gases, vapors, liquids, and dust.
i. Provide adequate ventilation in work areas to prevent accumulation of flam
mable gases, vapors, and dust. Do not apply heat to a container that has held
an unknown substance or a combustible material whose contents, when hea
ted, can produce flammable or explosive vapors. Clean and purge containers
before applying heat. Vent closed containers., including castings, before prehe
ating, welding, or cutting.
INHALATION HAZARD: Welding and Plasma Cutting Produce
Exposure to welding or cutting exhaust fumes can increase the risk of
developing certain cancers, such as cancer of the larynx and lung can-
cer. Also, some diseases that may be linked to exposure to welding or
plasma cutting exhaust fumes are:
a.
Early onset of Parkinson's Disease
b.
Heart disease
c.
Ulcers
d.
Damage to the reproductive organs
e.
Inflammation of the small intestine or stomach
f.
Kidney damage
g.
Respiratory diseases such as emphysema, bronchitis, or
pneumonia
Use natural or forced air ventilation and wear a respirator approved
by NIOSH to protect against the fumes produced to reduce the risk
of developing the above illnesses.

WARNING
TOXIC FUMES.
9. Avoid overexposure to fumes and gases. Always keep your head out of
the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes. Use enough ventilation or exhaust, or both, to
keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and general area.
•
Where ventilation is questionable, have a qualified technician take an air
sampling to determine the need for corrective measures.
Use mechanical ventilation to improve air quality. If engineering controls are
not feasible, use an approved respirator.
•
Work in a confined area only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing an air-
supplied respirator.
•
Follow OSHA guidelines for Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL's) for various
fumes and gases.
•
Follow the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists re
commendations for Threshold Limit Values (TLV's) for fumes and gases.
•
Have a recognized specialist in Industrial Hygiene or Environmental Services
check the operation and air quality and make recommendations for the speci
fic welding or cutting situation.
10. Always keep hoses away from welding/cutting spot. Examine all ho-
ses and cables for cuts, burns, or worn areas before each use. If any damaged areas are
found, replace the hoses or cables immediately.
11. Read and understand all instructions and safety precautions as
outlined in the manufacturer's Manual for the material you will weld
or cut.
12. Proper cylinder care. Secure cylinders to a cart, wall, or post, to prevent
them from falling. All cylinders should be used and stored in an upright position. Never
drop or strike a cylinder. Do not use cylinders that have been dented. Cylinder caps
should be used when moving or storing cylinders. Empty cylinders should be kept in
specified areas and clearly marked "empty."
13. Never use oil or grease on any inlet connector, outlet connector,
or cylinder valves.
14. Use only supplied Torch on this Inverter Air Plasma Cutter. Using
components from other systems may cause personal injury and damage components
within.
15. People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before
