Safety Guide
Safety Information

2MASTERPIPE®Mini Proler
Lincoln Electric Cutting Systems equipment is designed and built with safety in mind.
However, your overall safety can be increased by proper installation ... and thoughtful
operation on your part.
Safety First
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS FROM POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY.
IF YOU WEAR A PACEMAKER, YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH YOUR
DOCTOR BEFORE OPERATING.
Read and understand the following safety highlights. For additional safety
information it is strongly recommended that you purchase a copy of “Safety in
Welding & Cutting - ANSI Standard Z49.1” from the American Welding Society,
P.O. Box 351040, Miami, Florida 33135 or CSA Standard W117.2.
BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, AND RE-
PAIR PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.
1. ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
1.1 The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically “hot”
when the power source is on. Do not touch these “hot” parts with
your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate
hands.
1.2 Disconnect the power source before performing any service or
repairs. When the power source is operating, voltages in excess
of 250 volts are produced. This creates the potential for serious
electrical shock - possibly even fatal.
1.3 Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation. Wear
dry gloves and clothing. Take extra care when the work place is
moist or damp.
1.4 Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical connection
with the metal being cut or gouged. The connection should be as
close as possible to the area being cut or gouged.
1.5 Ground the work or metal to be cut or gouged to a good electrical
(earth) ground.
1.6 Maintain the plasma torch, cable and work clamp in good, safe
operating condition. Repair or replace all worn or damaged parts.
Replace damaged insulation.
1.7 Never dip the torch in water for cooling or plasma cut or gouge in or
under water.
1.8 When working above oor level, protect yourself from a fall should
you get a shock.
1.9 Operate the pilot arc with caution. The pilot arc is capable of burning
the operator, others or even piercing safety clothing.
1.10 Also see Items 4.3 and 6.

Safety Guide
2. ARC RAYS can burn.
2.1 Plasma Arc Rays can injure your eyes and burn your skin. The
plasma arc process produces very bright ultraviolet and infrared
rays. These will damage your eyes and burn your skin if you are not
properly protected.
2.2 Use safety glasses and a shield with the proper lter and cover
plates to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when
performing or observing plasma arc cutting or gouging. Glasses,
head-shield, and lter lens should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.

2.3 Use suitable clothing including gloves made from durable ame-
resistant material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from
the arc rays.
2.4 Protect other nearby personnel with suitable non-ammable
screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose
themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.
3. FUMES AND GASES can be dangerous.
3.1 Plasma cutting or gouging may produce fumes and gases
hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases. When
cutting or gouging, keep your head out of the fumes. Use enough
ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep fumes and gases away
from the breathing zone.
3.2 Use an air-supplied respirator if ventilation is not adequate to
remove all fumes and gases.
3.3 When plasma cutting or gouging on lead or cadmium plated steel
and other metals or coatings which produce highly toxic fumes,
keep exposure as low as possible and within applicable OSHA PEL
and ACGIH TLV limits using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation.
In conned spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a respirator
may be required.
3.4 Additional precautions are also required when cutting (zinc)
galvanized steel or materials containing or coated with any of the
following:
Antimony Beryllium Cobalt Manganese Selenium
Arsenic Cadmium Copper Mercury Silver
Barium Chromium Lead Nickel Vanadium
Arc rays
Fumes, gases,
and dust

4MASTERPIPE®Mini Proler
3.5 The operation of plasma cutting or gouging fume control equipment
is affected by various factors including proper use and positioning
of the equipment, maintenance of the equipment, and the specic
procedure and application involved. Worker exposure levels should
be checked upon installation and periodically thereafter to be certain
levels are within applicable OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits. For
information on how to test for fumes and gases in your work place,
refer to publications section of this manual.
3.6 Do not use plasma cutting or gouging equipment in locations near
chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors coming from degreasing, cleaning
or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with
solvent vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other
irritating products. Remove all sources of these vapors.
3.7 Gases used for plasma cutting and gouging can displace air and
cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation, especially in
conned areas, to insure breathing air is safe.
3.8 Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this
equipment and follow your employer’s safety practices.
3.9 This product, when used for cutting, produces fumes or gases
which contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause
birth defects
3.10 Some dust created by routing, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Avoid prolonged contact
with this dust. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or
lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paint.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).
3.11 Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
lter out microscopic particles.
4. Cutting ame and sparks can cause FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
4.1 Fire and explosion can be caused by hot slag, sparks, oxygen fueled
cutting ame, or the plasma arc.
4.2 Have a re extinguisher readily available. Provide a re watch when
working in an area where re hazards may exist.
4.3 When not cutting or gouging, make certain no part of the electrode
circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can cause
overheating and create a re hazard.
Safety First (continued)
Fire or Explosion

5
Safety Guide
4.4 Be sure there are no combustible or ammable materials in the
workplace. Any material that cannot be removed must be protected.
4.4.1 Sparks and hot materials from cutting or gouging can easily
go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.
4.4.2 Avoid cutting or gouging near hydraulic lines.
4.4.3 Do not cut or gouge tanks, drums or containers until the
proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures
will not cause ammable or toxic vapors from substances
inside. They can cause an explosion even though they have
been “cleaned.” For information purchase “Recommended
Safe Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting
of Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous
Substances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society
(see address above).
4.4.4 Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or
gouging. They may explode.
4.5 Do not add fuel to engine driven equipment near an area where
plasma cutting or gouging is being done.
4.6 Connect the work cable to the work as close to the cutting or
gouging area as practical. Work cables connected to the building
framework or other locations away from the cutting or gouging area
increase the possibility of the current passing through lifting chains,
crane cables or other alternate circuits. This can create re hazards
or overheat lifting chains or cables until they fail.
4.7 Hydrogen gas may be formed and trapped under aluminum work
pieces when they are cut underwater or while using a water table.
DO NOT cut aluminum alloys underwater or on a water table
unless the hydrogen gas can be eliminated or dissipated. Trapped
hydrogen gas that is ignited will cause an explosion.
4.8 Read and follow NFPA 51B “ Standard for Prevention During
Welding, Cutting and Other Hot Work”, available from NFPA, 1
Batterymarch Park,PO box 9101, Quincy, Ma 022690-9101.
5. CYLINDER may EXPLODE if damaged.
5.1 Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct gas for
the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the
gas and pressure used. All hoses, ttings, etc., should be suitable
for the application and maintained in good condition.
5.2 Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to an
undercarriage or xed support.
5.3 Cylinders should be located: • Away from areas where they may
be struck or subjected to physical damage. • A safe distance from
plasma cutting or gouging, arc welding operations and any other
source of heat, sparks, or ame.
5.4 Never allow any part of the electrode, torch or any other electrically
“hot” parts to touch a cylinder.
5.5 Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when
opening the cylinder valve.
5.6 Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tight
except when the cylinder is in use or connected for use.
Cylinder Explosion

6MASTERPIPE®Mini Proler
5.7 Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas cylinders,
associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l, “Precautions for
Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Cylinders,”available from
the Compressed Gas Association 1235 Jefferson Davis Highway,
Arlington, VA 22202.
6. FOR ELECTRICALLY powered equipment.
6.1 Turn off input power using the disconnect switch at the fuse box
before working on the equipment.
6.2 Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National Electrical
Code, all local codes and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
6.3 Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. National
Electrical Code and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
7. PLASMA ARC can injure.
7.1 Keep your body away from nozzle and plasma arc.
7.2 Operate the pilot arc with caution. The pilot arc is capable of burning
the operator, others or even piercing safety clothing.
8. ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS may be dangerous
8.1 Electric current owing through any conductor causes localized
Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Cutting or gouging current
creates EMF elds around torch cables and cutting machines.
8.2 EMF elds may interfere with some pacemakers, so operators
having a pacemaker should consult their physician before cutting or
gouging.
8.3 Exposure to EMF elds during cutting or gouging may have other
health effects which are now not known.
8.4 All operators should use the following procedures in order to
minimize exposure to EMF elds from the cutting or gouging circuit:
8.4.1 Route the torch and work cables together - Secure them with
tape when possible.
8.4.2 Never coil the torch cable around your body.
8.4.3 Do not place your body between the torch and work cables.
If the torch cable is on your right side, the work cable should
also be on your right side.
8.4.4 Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible
to the area being cut or gouged.
8.4.5 Do not work next to cutting power source.

10. NOISE
10.1 Noise can cause permanent hearing loss. CNC operation, plasma
arc cutting, plate marking, routing, and drilling can cause noise
levels that exceed safe limits. You must protect your ears from loud
noise to prevent permanent loss of hearing.
10.1.1 To protect your hearing from loud noise, wear protective ear
plugs and/or ear muffs. Protect others in the workplace.
10.1.2 Noise levels should be measured to be sure the decibels
(sound) do not exceed safe levels.
10.2 For information on how to test for noise refer to the publications
section of this manual.
11. HEAVY PARTS
11.1 Parts of CNC machines are heavy. Also, material you are cutting
may be heavy. Use caution when lifting or moving them. To avoid
injury, get someone to help you, or use a mechanical lifter. When
using a mechanical lifter, follow all the manufacturer’s safety
guidelines.
11.2 Review the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA)
technical manual Sect. 7, Ch 1.5. See the publications section that
follows.
12. FLYING DEBRIS
12.1 Metal cutting and marking operations create waste that can
fragment and y. Make sure you have proper eye protection and that
everyone close to the CNC operations has proper eye protection,
too.
12.2 Review the ANSI Z87.1 requirements. See the publications section
for additional information.
13. PINCH AND CRUSH POINTS
13.1 Pinch and crush points are those normally moving parts of
machinery, like CNC machines, that can pinch, capture, crush, or
sever parts of your body. Be aware of hazardous pinch and crush
points.
13.2 Don’t repair or adjust the machine with the controls on.

8MASTERPIPE®Mini Proler
13.3 When the end of a CNC machine’s travel creates a “hard stop,” it
creates a crush point. Keep ngers and hands away from this.
13.4 Do not stack or store any additional items in contact with the
machine. These could create additional pinch or crush points, or
could create a falling hazard.
14. SHARP ROTARY TOOLS
14.1 Routing and drilling use high-speed rotating bits and cutters with
sharp edges. Keep clear of bits when in use.
14.2 Turn the router, spindle, or drill off when changing bits. Be careful of
the sharp edges.
15. HOT MATERIAL
15.1 Plasma cutting uses an electric arc that can reach temperatures
of 45,000°F (25,000°C). Oxygen-fuel cutting ames can be up to
6,330°F (3,500°C). Any parts and scrap will be very hot after cutting.
Use extreme care.
15.2 Use tongs and wear protective gloves when handling recently cut
material. Also, consider other devices for safe hot material handling.
15.3 It is safest to let material cool completely before handling.
16. MECHANICAL DRIVES
16.1 High-speed mechanical drives made of gears, belts, and or drive
screws are used by CNC machines. Keep clear of them during
operation.
16.2 Do not attempt to service, adjust, or otherwise touch these
components while the machine is on.
16.3 Secure any loose clothing and cables to prevent entanglement.
17. AIR LINES UNDER PRESSURE
17.1 Some tools use compressed air or gases. Often exible tubing (lines)
bring the high-pressure air or gas to the machine. Inspect these
lines periodically. Repair or replace damaged lines.
17.2 Hot sparks, ying debris, other objects, or vehicles can melt, burn,
or puncture these lines. Check them for punctures, burns, or other
damage or defects that could cause failure.
17.3 Check the routing of the lines to keep them away from trafc and
from underfoot.
