SECTION 1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Safety Precautions Safety - English

WARNING: These Safety Precautions are for your

protection. They summarize precaution­ary information from the references
listed in Additional Safety Information

section. Before performing any installa­tion or operating procedures, be sure to read and
follow the safety precautions listed below as well
as all other manuals, material safety data sheets,
labels, etc. Failure to observe Safety Precautions
can result in injury or death.

PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS -­Some welding, cutting, and gouging
processes are noisy and require ear
protection. The arc, like the sun, e mits

ultraviolet (UV) and other radiation
and can injure skin and eyes. Hot metal can cause
burns. Training in the proper use of the processes
and equipment is essential to prevent accidents.
Therefore:

1. Always wear safety glasses with side shields in

any work area, even if welding helmets, face
shields, and goggles are also required.

2. Use a face shield tted with the correct lter and

cover plates to protect your eyes, face, neck, and
ears from sparks and rays of the arc when oper­ating or observing operations. Warn bystanders
not to watch the arc and not to expose themselves
to the rays of the electric-arc or hot metal.

3. Wear ameproof gauntlet type gloves, heavy

long-sleeve shirt, cuess trousers, high -topped
shoes, and a welding helmet or cap for hair
protection, to protect against arc rays and hot
sparks or hot metal. A ameproo f apron may also
be desirable as protection against radiated heat
and sparks.

4. Hot spark s or metal can lodge in rolled up sleeves,

trouser cus, or pockets. Sleeves and collars
should be kept buttoned, and open pockets
eliminated from the front of clothing.

5. Protect other personnel from arc rays and hot

sparks with a suitable non-ammable partition
or curtains.

6. Use goggles over safety glasses when chipping

slag or grinding. Chipped slag may be hot and
can y far. Bystanders should also wear goggles
over safety glasses.

1. Remove all combustible materials well away from
the work area or cover the materials with a pro­tective non-ammable covering. Combustible
materials include wood, cloth, sawdust, liquid
and gas fuels, solvents, paints and coatings,
paper, etc.

2. Hot sparks or hot metal can fall through cracks
or crevices in oors or wall openings and cause a
hidden smoldering re or res on the oor below.
Make certain that such openings are protected
from hot sparks and metal.“

3. Do not weld, cut or perform other hot work until
the work piece has been completely cleaned so
that there are no substances on the work piece
which might produce ammable or toxic vapors.
Do not do hot work on closed containers. They
may explode.

4. Have re extinguishing equipment handy for
instant use, such as a garden hose, water pail,
sand bucket, or portable re extinguisher. Be
sure you are trained in its use.

5. Do not use equipment beyond its ratings. For
example, overloaded welding cable can overheat
and create a re hazard.

6. After completing operations, inspect the work
area to make certain there are no hot sparks or
hot metal which could cause a later re. Use re
watchers when necessary.

7. For additional information, refer to NFPA Stan­dard 51B, "Fire Prevention in Use of Cutting and
Welding Processes", available from the National
Fire Protection Association, Batter y march Park,
Quincy, MA 02269.

areas, if movement is conned, or if there is danger
of falling.

FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS -- Heat from
ames and arcs can start res. Hot
slag or sparks can also cause res and
explosions. Therefore:

ELECTRICAL SHOCK -- Contact with
live electrical parts and ground can
cause severe injury or death. DO
NOT use AC welding current in damp

5

SECTION 1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Be sure the power source frame (chassis) is con­nected to the ground system of the input power.

2. Connect the work piece to a good electrical
ground.

3. Connect the work cable to the work piece. A poor
or missing connection can expose you or others
to a fatal shock.

4. Use well-maintained equipment. Replace worn or
damaged cables.

5. Keep everything dry, including clothing, work
area, cables, torch/electrode holder, and power
source.

6. Make sure that all parts of your body are insulated
from work and from ground.

7. Do not stand directly on metal or the earth while
working in tight quarters or a damp area; stand
on dry boards or an insulating platform and wear
rubber-soled shoes.

8. Put on dry, hole-free gloves before turning on the
power.

3. Welders should use the following procedures to
minimize exposure to EMF:

A. Route the electrode and work cables together.

Secure them with tape when possible.

B. Never coil the torch or work cable around your

body.

C. Do not place your body between the torch and

work cables. Route cables on the same side of
your body.

D. Connect the work cable to the work piece as close

as possible to the area being welded.

E. Keep welding power source and cables as far

away from your body as possible.

FUMES AND GASES -- Fumes and
gases, can cause discomfort or harm,
particularly in conned spaces. Do
not breathe fumes and gases. Shield­ing gases can cause asphyxiation.

Therefore:

9. Turn o the power before removing your gloves.

10. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (listed on
next page) for specic grounding recommenda­tions. Do not mistake the work lead for a ground
cable.

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS
— May be dangerous. Electric cur­rent owing through any conduc­tor causes localized Electric and

Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding and
cutting current creates EMF around welding cables
and welding machines. Therefore:

1. Welders having pacemakers should consult their

physician before welding. EMF may interfere with
some pacemakers.

2. Exposure to EMF may have other health eects which

are unknown.

1. Always provide adequate ventilation in the work area
by natural or mechanical means. Do not weld, cut, or
gouge on materials such as galvanized steel, stain­less steel, copper, zinc, lead, beryllium, or cadmium
unless positive mechanical ventilation is provided.
Do not breathe fumes from these materials.

2. Do not operate near degreasing and spraying opera­tions. The heat or arc rays can react with chlorinated
hydrocarbon vapors to form phosgene, a highly
toxic gas, and other irritant gases.

3. If you develop momentary eye, nose, or throat ir­ritation while operating, this is an indication that
ventilation is not adequate. Stop work and take
necessary steps to improve ventilation in the work
area. Do not continue to operate if physical discom­fort persists.

4. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (see listing below)
for specic ventilation recommendations.

CYLINDER HANDLING -- Cylinders,
if mishandled, can rupture and vio­lently release gas. Sudden rupture
of cylinder, valve, or relief device can
injure or kill. Therefore:

1. Use the proper gas for the process and use the

proper pressure reducing regulator designed to
operate from the compressed gas cylinder. Do not
use adaptors. Maintain hoses and ttings in good
condition. Follow manufacturer's operating instruc­tions for mounting regulator to a compressed gas
cylinder.

1. Always have qualied personnel perform the instal­lation, troubleshooting, and maintenance work.
Do not perform any electrical work unless you are
qualied to perform such work.

2. Before performing any maintenance work inside a
power source, disconnect the power source from
the incoming electrical power.

3. Maintain cables, grounding wire, connections, power
cord, and power supply in safe working order. Do
not operate any equipment in faulty condition.

4. Do not abuse any equipment or accessories. Keep
equipment away from heat sources such as furnaces,
wet conditions such as water puddles, oil or grease,
corrosive atmospheres and inclement weather.

5. Keep all safety devices and cabinet covers in position
and in good repair.

6. Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Do
not modify it in any manner.

2. Always secure cylinders in an upright position by
chain or strap to suitable hand trucks, undercar­riages, benches, walls, post, or racks. Never secure
cylinders to work tables or xtures where they may
become part of an electrical circuit.

3. When not in use, keep cylinder valves closed. Have
valve protection cap in place if regulator is not con­nected. Secure and move cylinders by using suitable
hand trucks. Avoid rough handling of cylinders.

4. Locate cylinders away from heat, sparks, and ames.
Never strike an arc on a cylinder.

SECTION 1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Hydrogen explosion hazard! Read the following before attempting

DANGER

A hazard exists whenever a water table is used with plasma arc cutting. Severe explosions have resulted from the ac­cumulation of hydrogen beneath the plate being cut. Thousands of dollars in property damage have been caused by
these explosions. Personal injury or death could result from such an explosion.

The best available information indicates that three possible sources of hydrogen exists in water tables:

1. Molten Metal Reaction

Most of the hydrogen is liberated by a fast reaction of molten metal from the kerf in the water to form metallic ox-

ides. This reaction explains why reactive metals with greater anity for oxygen, such as aluminum and magnesium,
release greater volumes of hydrogen during the cut than does iron or steel. Most of this hydrogen will come to the
surface immediately, but some will cling to small metallic particles. These particles will settle to the bottom of the
water table and the hydrogen will gradually bubble to the surface.

2. Slow Chemical Reaction

Hydrogen may also result from the slower chemical reactions of cold metal particles with the water, dissimilar metals,

or chemicals in the water. The hydrogen gradually bubbles to the surface.

to cut when using a water table.

3. Plasma & Shield Gas

Hydrogen or other fuel gases, such as Methane (CH4), may come from the plasma or shield gas. H-35 is a commonly

used plasma gas. This gas is 35% hydrogen by volume. When using H-35 at high currents, as much as 125 cfh of
hydrogen will be released.

Regardless of the source, the hydrogen gas can collect in pockets formed by the plate being cut and slats on the

table, or pockets from warped plate. There can also be accumulation of hydrogen under the slag tray or even in the
air reservoir, if these are part of the table design. The hydrogen, in the presence of oxygen or air, can then be ignited
by the plasma arc or a spark from any source.

4. Follow these practices to reduce hydrogen generation and accumulation:

A. Clean the slag (especially ne particles) from the bottom of the table frequently. Rell the table with clean water.
B. Do not leave plates on the table overnight or a weekend.
C. If a water table has been unused for several hours, vibrate it in some way before the rst plate is laid in position.

This will allow accumulated hydrogen in the refuse to break loose and dissipate before it is conned by a plate
on the table. This might be accomplished by laying the rst plate onto the table with a slight jolt, then raising

the plate to permit hydrogen to escape before it is nally set down for cutting.
D. If cutting above water, install fans to circulate air between the plate and the water surface.
E. If cutting underwater, agitate the water under the plate to prevent accumulation of hydrogen. This can be done

by aerating the water using compressed air.
F. If possible, change the level of the water between cuts to dissipate accumulated hydrogen.
G. Maintain pH level of the water near 7 (neutral). This reduces the rate of chemical reaction between water and

metals.

SECTION 1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Possible explosion hazard from plasma cutting aluminum-lithium alloys!

Aluminum-Lithium (Al-Li) alloys are used in the aerospace industry because of 10% weight
savings over conventional aluminum alloys. It has been reported that molten Al-Li alloys
can cause explosions when they come into contact with water. Therefore, plasma cutting
of these alloys should not be attempted in the presence of water. These alloys should only
be dry cut on a dry table. Alcoa has determined that "dry" cutting on a dry table is safe
and gives good cutting results. DO NOT dry cut over water. DO NOT water injection cut.

WARNING

The following are some of the Al-Li alloys currently available:
Alithlite (Alcoa) X8192 (Alcoa)
Alithally (Alcoa) Navalite (U. S. Navy)
2090 Alloy (Alcoa) Lockalite (Lockhead)
X8090A (Alcoa) Kalite (Kaiser)
X8092 (Alcoa) 8091 (Alcan)

For additional details and information on the safe use from the hazards associated with
these alloys, contact your aluminum supplier.

WARNING

Oil And Grease Can Burn Violently!

• Never use oil or grease on this torch.

• Handle torch clean hands only on clean surface.

• Use silicone lubricant only where directed.

• Oil and grease are easily ignited and burn violently in the presence of

oxygen under pressure.

Hydrogen explosion hazard.

Do Not Cut Underwater With H-35! Dangerous buildup of hydrogen gas is possible in
the water table. Hydrogen gas is extremely explosive. Reduce the water level to 4 inch­es minimum below the workpiece. Vibrate plate, stir air and water frequently to prevent
hydrogen gas buildup.

Spark hazard.

Heat, spatter, and sparks cause re and burns.

• Do not cut near combustible material.

• Do not cut containers that have held combustibles.

• Do not have on your person any combustibles (e.g. butane lighter).

• Pilot arc can cause burns. Keep torch nozzle away from yourself and

others when activating plasma process.

• Wear correct eye and body protection.

• Wear gauntlet gloves, safety shoes and hat.

• Wear ame-retardant clothing that covers all exposed areas.

• Wear cuess trousers to prevent entry of sparks and slag.
