1. Plasma Cutting Safety Tips
When you operating plasma cutter you should not only consider safety for
you other than that you need to know about cutting an object. That has been
mentioned here:
Electric Shock:
Plasma cutters are connects with an electric circuit between the torch and
work object. If anything touches with a work object, electric circuit will
pass that object also. So, don't touch the torch body or on the work object
when plasma cutter is operating otherwise electric shock may end your life.
Voltages & Currents:
Generally plasma cutting is an easy to use tool to cut steel and electrically
conductive metals. To cut steel and welding materials, cutters need high
voltage electrical arc and a compressed gas. Plasma cutters electrical
voltages are much greater than welding voltages, normally 100-200 volts.
Precautions:
While you cutting an object don't retrieve a work object and waste cutoff
during the cutting. Just leave the work object on the cutting bench with the
ground cables attached during the cutting process.
Don't remove the ground clamp while you're cutting process. Never remove
the ground cable attached with work object while cutting process.
Wearing insulated boots and gloves are very important equipment in any
serious place of your process and it keeps your body and clothing always dry.
Do not stand, sit or lie on or otherwise touch any wet surface when using the
plasma cutter system.
Never stand, sit or lie otherwise touch any wet surface area when using the
plasma cutting process.
Ground Cables:
Always ensure the ground cable is connects with the work object during
plasma cutting. Replace the plasma cutting machine ground clamp if damaged.
2. Don't attach ground cable with work object; it will be fall away when the
cutting process is over.
Arc Rays:
Never use a plasma cutters without proper eye protection. Plasma arc rays
are producing the highly intense ultraviolet and infrared waves that can burn
your eyes, such as retina, cause cataracts and skin.
Protective Clothes:
♦ Gloves, welding safety shoes and welding helmets.
♦ Flame-retardant clothes.
♦ Cuffless trousers
♦ Remove flammable things from your pocket before cutting, such as a
butane lighter or matches.
Noise Level:
♦ Plasma cutting systems can generate a noise levels upto 120 db during
the high-amperage cutting operations.
♦ Always wear ear protection while plasma cutting process.
Toxic Fumes & Gases:
♦ Plasma arc cutting systems can produce a toxic fumes and gases that
can affect your oxygen and serious injury
♦ Always use your plasma cutter in a well ventilated area.
♦ Don't do the cutting process in locations near degreasing, cleaning or
spraying operations.
