Safety In Cutting With Plasma Arc - 5
Watch the cutting environment. If there is any systems using gasoline or hydraulic
oil present and if the cutting environment cannot be moved elsewhere, place a fire-
resistant barrier in between. If you are cutting at a high place or on a ladder, make sure
that no explosive or flammable materials are stored below. Moreover do not forget the
possibility of slag and sparks falling on the people around.
Special measures have to be taken while cutting in a dusty environment. The dust
particles may catch fire and cause a sudden fire or explosion. If you have no idea
about the flammability or volatility of the ambient dust, do not start the welding or
cutting works before obtaining the approval of an expert or authorized person.
Before starting cutting, check if the cutting piece has a flammable coating that could
catch fire when heated.
When you take a pause during the cutting works, make sure that the torch handle does
not touch the ground or work piece.
If you are carrying out cutting works within ten meters from flammable materials, keep
an observer with you. The observer should watch where the sparks and splashes are
falling around and should have easy access to the fire extinguishers if necessary.
Once the cutting work is finished, check the cutting area for any trace of smoke for
about half an hour with the observer.
The first rule during a cutting-related accident is not to panic just like any other
emergency situation. Depending on the magnitude of the fire, activate the fire alarm,
notify the fire department, turn off the cutting machine and leave the area as fast as
possible through the fire exits.
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT: Before starting to work on the machine, cut the power
supply by means of the switch located in the fuse box. Make the electrical connections
in conformity with the rules currently in force.
GROUNDING: For your safety and trouble-free operation of the machine, it should be
connected to a power outlet with proper power supply and grounding cables.
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT: Check the condition of the electrical cables such as
supply and cutting cables regularly. In case of any irregular condition, replace the
defective parts immediately. In order to prevent any arc flashing and fire risks, do not
leave the torch clamp (handle) on the plasma cutting table or any surface in contact
with the grounding clamp.
ELECTRIC and MAGNETIC FIELDS MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO THE HUMAN
HEALTH: The current passing through the conductors creates an electromagnetic
field. The electromagnetic field thus formed may have an effect on the pace-maker
etc. equipment. The operators, who use pace-makers, should consult with a physical
therapist before working with the machine. The electrical and magnetic fields could
also cause other unknown health—related problems.
MOVING PARTS MAY CRUSH YOUR HANDS: Do not place your hands on or near
the fan and the moving parts of the machine.
COMPLIANCE WITH CE NORMS: This machine has been manufactured in
compliance with the European Instructions.
SAFE OPERATION: This machine is suitable for carrying out cutting works in the
places with high probability of electrical shock.
