CONNECTABLE PLASMA CUTTER 40A
RADIATIONS
Ultraviolet radiations created by the arc may damage your eyes and burn your skin.
• Wear proper clothing and helmets.
• Do not use contact lenses! The intense heat coming from the arc may stick them on the cornea.
• Use masks with grade DIN 10 safety lenses, at least. Protect people surrounding the cuffi ng area.
FUMES
Cutting operations give off fumes and harmful metal dusts which may damage health,
therefore:
• Do not work in areas without proper ventilation. Keep your head out of fumes.
• In closed rooms use suitable exhaust fans, placed under the cutting area, if possible. It ventilation
is not enough, use breathing sets approved for this procedure.
• Clean the material to be cut of any solvents or halogen degreasers giving rise to toxic gases
when cutting: Some chlorin solvents may decompose with radiation emitted by the arc and create
phosgene gas.
• Do not cut plated metals or metals containing lead, graphite, cadmium, zink, chrome, quicksilver
or beryllium unless you have a proper breathing set.
• The electric arc creates ozone. After long exposure to high concentrations of ozone you may
have headache, nose, throat and eyes irritation as well as serious congestion and chest pains.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE OXYGEN FOR VENTILATION.
FIRE
• Do not cut containers of combustible or lubricating material, even when empty. These should be
carefully cleaned before being cut.
• Let the material cut cool down before touching it or putting it in contact with combustible or
infl ammable material.
• Do not cut parts with hollow spaces including infl ammable material.
• Do not work under conditions of high concentration of combustible vapours, gases or infl ammable
dust.
• Always check the work area half an hour after cutting so as to make sure that no fi re is starting
to burn.
• Avoid causing fi re because of sparks, hot, metal or pieces.
• Make sure that suitable fi reproof devices are available close to cutting area.
• Remove from cutting area and surrounding area (33 feet at least) all
infl ammable and combustible material.
