prevent accidental fires. Remove any 

combustible material from the work area�
•  When possible, move the work to a location well 

away from combustible materials� If relocation 

is not possible, protect the combustibles with 

a cover made of fire resistant material�

•  Remove or make safe all combustible 

materials for a radius of 35 feet (10 meters) 

around the work area� Use a fire resistant 

material to cover or block all open doorways, 

windows, cracks, and other openings�

•  Enclose the work area with portable fire 

resistant screens� Protect combustible 

walls, ceilings, floors, etc�, from sparks 

and heat with fire resistant material�

•  If working on a metal wall, ceiling, etc�, 

prevent ignition of combustibles on the other 

side by moving the combustibles to a safe 

location� If relocation of combustibles is not 

possible, designate someone to serve as a 

fire watch, equipped with a fire extinguisher, 

during the cutting process and for at least 

one half hour after the cutting is completed�

•  Do not weld or cut on materials having a 

combustible coating or combustible internal 

structure, as in walls or ceilings, without an 

approved method for eliminating the hazard�

•  Do not dispose of hot slag in containers 

holding combustible materials� Keep a fire 

extinguisher nearby and know how to use it�

•  After welding or cutting, make a thorough 

examination for evidence of fire� Be aware 

that easily visible smoke or flame may not 

be present for some time after the fire has 

started� Do not weld or cut in atmospheres 

containing dangerously reactive or flammable 

gases, vapors, liquids, and dust� 

•  Provide adequate ventilation in work areas 

to prevent accumulation of flammable gases, 

vapors, and dust� Do not apply heat to a 

container that has held an unknown substance 

or a combustible material whose contents, when 

heated, can produce flammable or explosive 

vapors� Clean and purge containers before 

applying heat� Vent closed containers, including 

castings, before preheating, welding, or cutting�

•  Only use compressed air or nitrogen to 

operate the Plasma Cutter� Never use 

other compressed gases� Don’t exceed 

maximum PSI for this product as stated on 

the specification table on page page 5�

Exposure to welding or cutting 

exhaust fumes can increase 

the risk of developing certain cancers, 

such as cancer of the larynx and lung cancer�  

Also, some diseases that may be linked to 

exposure to welding or cutting exhaust fumes are:
• Early onset of Parkinson’s Disease
• Heart disease        • Ulcers
• Damage to the reproductive organs
•  Inflammation  of  the  small  intestine  or  stomach                   
• Kidney damage
• 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�

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 (PELs) 

for various fumes and gases�

•  Follow the American Conference 

of Governmental Industrial 

Hygienists recommendations for 

Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) 

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 

specific welding or cutting situation�

Examine all hoses and cables for cuts, 

burns, or worn areas before each use� 

If any damaged areas are found, replace 

the hoses or cables immediately�
