lit and free of distractions.
2. Remove all unnecessary people from the work area when welding.
Anyone remaining in the work area must wear the appropriate
welding safety equipment.
3. Do not install or use in the presence of flammable gases, dust or liquids.
4. Welding sparks and ejected molten slag can start a fire. Remove
combustible materials within 39 ft (12 metres) of the welding unit.
See Fire and Explosion Precautions.
5. Have a fire extinguisher readily available (see Fire and Explosion
Precautions).
6. Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash and glare;
warn others in the area to look away from the arc.
7. Keep the welding unit at least one foot from any wall or structure.
8. Check that the work area is free from fires, sparks or hot debris
before leaving.
9. Store tools properly in a safe and dry location. Keep tools out of the
reach of children.
PERSONAL SAFETY
WARNING! Wear personal protective equipment approved by the
Canadian Standards Association (CSA) or American National
Standards Institute (ANSI).
HEAD PROTECTION
DANGER! Never look directly at the welding arc without the proper
protection. The light can cause flash burn damage and impair
vision. Although treatment is possible, multiple occurrences can
result in permanent eye damage.
1. Protect your eyes from welding light by wearing a welder's helmet
fitted with a filter shade suitable for the type of welding you are
doing. The welding process produces intense white light, infrared and
ultraviolet light, these arc rays can burn both eyes and skin.
1.1. Consult the Welding Shade Guide in Appendix A for the
minimum shade to protect the eyes based on the amperage and
type of welding.

2. An opaque helmet will protect against the ultraviolet or infrared light.
A helmet will also protect against ejected hot material and slag. The
helmet should protect the face, forehead, ears and neck.
3. Wear a fire-resistant head covering like a skull cap or balaclava hood
to protect your head when the faceplate is down or when using a
welding hand-held face shield.
4. Wear ventilated safety goggles beneath the welding helmet or behind
the hand-held face shield. The cooling weld bead may fragment or
eject slag that can damage the eyes, when the helmet or hand-held
face shield is not in place.
4.1 Eye protection equipment should comply with CSA Z94.3-07 or
ANSI Z87.1 standards based on the type of work performed.
5. Wear fire resistant ear plugs when welding overhead to prevent
spatter or slag from falling into ear.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
1. Wear a leather apron or jacket, leather welding gloves and full foot
protection. Choose clothing fabrics that resist sparks, heat, flames and
splashes of molten material. Artificial fabrics may burn and melt,
resulting in a more severe injury.
1.1 Wear welding capes and sleeves when performing overhead
welding.
2. Do not wear clothes or protective gear that are frayed, oily or greasy
as they may ignite from the heat or ejected slag and sparks.
3. Wear thick clothes that do not expose the skin. Ultraviolet or infrared
light can burn skin with sufficient exposure.
4. Do not wear clothing that can hold hot debris or sparks such as pant
cuffs, shirt pockets or boots. Choose clothing that has flaps over pockets
or wear clothing to cover the openings such as pant legs over the boots
or an apron over the shirt.
5. Gloves must contain an insulating lining to protect against an electric
shock.
6. Rubber soled footwear or electrically insulated work boots are
recommended while working with a welding unit. The non- skid sole
is will also help maintain footing and balance during work.

RESPIRATORS
1. Respiratory protection is needed when ventilation is not sufficient to
remove welding fumes or when there is risk of oxygen deficiency.
1.1 Wear a NIOSH approved respirator when working on materials
that produce dust or particulate matter.
2. Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated or while wearing
an air-supplied respirator. Welding fumes and gases can displace air
and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the
breathing air is safe (See Fumes and Gases).
3. The user can take the additional precaution of informing another person
in the work area of the potential danger, so that person can watch for
indications that the user is suffering from oxygen deprivation.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Control the tool, personal movement and the work environment to avoid
personal injury or damage to the tool.
1. Do not operate any tool when tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medications.
2. Avoid wearing clothes or jewelry that can become entangled with the
moving parts of a tool. Keep long hair covered or bound.
3. Remove all jewelry or metal items from your person before welding.
Metal items may connect to the welding unit’s electrical circuit,
causing an injury or death.
4. Do not overreach when operating the tool. Proper footing and balance
enable better control in unexpected situations.
5. Support the workpiece or clamp it to a stable platform. Holding the
workpiece by hand or against your body may lead to personal injury.
6. Do not wear any personal grooming products that are flammable, such
as hair preparations, perfume or cologne with an alcohol base.
7. Remove any combustibles, such as butane lighters or matches, from
your person before doing any welding. Hot welding sparks may light
the matches or ignite leaking lighter fuel.

CAUTION! Only use compressed air with this plasma cutter. Other
gases can damage the machine.
Welding produces sparks, molten slag, intense white light, plus infrared
and ultraviolet light. Any of these can cause direct harm to the eyes and
skin of the welder or bystanders.
1. Use the correct tool for the job. This tool was designed for a
specific function. Do not modify or alter this tool or use it for
an unintended purpose.
2. Protect against reflected arc rays. The rays can reflect off a shiny surface
behind the user, into the helmet and off the filter lens into the eyes.
Remove or cover any reflective surface behind the user such as a glossy
painted surface, aluminum, stainless steel or glass.
3. Welding produces sparks and molten slag. A cooling bead can eject
chips or fragments of slag. Any of these can cause direct harm to the
eyes or skin of the user or bystanders.
4. Erect protective screens or barriers to protect bystanders from the
flash and glare; warn others in the area not to watch the arc. Do not
strike a welding arc until all bystanders and you (the user) have
welding shields and/or helmets in place.
5. Immediately replace a cracked or broken helmet or a scratched or
damaged lens filter to avoid damage to the eyes or face from arc flash
or ejected molten material.
6. Do not allow the plasma torch to accidentally touch the ground clamp
or grounded work. An arc flash will result from contact and can injury
the unprepared user and bystanders. It can also damage the plasma
cutting machine.
7. Do not handle hot metal or electrode stubs with bare hands.
Handling may result in a burn injury.
8. Do not use the plasma cutting machine if personal movement is
confined or if there is a danger of falling.
9. Keep all panels and covers securely in place when operating the
plasma cutting machine.
10. Insulate the ground clamp when not connected to a workpiece to
prevent contact with any metal object.
11. Do not operate the plasma cutting machine if the plasma torch or
welding cable is wet. Do not immerse them in water. These
components and the plasma cutting machine must be completely dry
before attempting to use them.

12. Do not point the plasma torch at any body part of yourself or at
anyone else.
13. Do not use a plasma cutting machine to thaw frozen pipes.
14. Insulate yourself from the work and the ground using dry insulation.
Make certain that the insulation is large enough to cover your full
area of physical contact.
15. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
16. When not welding, make certain that no part of the electrode circuit is
touching the workpiece or the ground. Accidental contact can cause
overheating and create a fire hazard.
17. Maintain good ventilation of the louvers on this equipment. Good
ventilation is of critical importance for the normal performance and
service life of this equipment.
18. Keep the plasma cutter out of direct sunlight.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION PRECAUTIONS
Arc welding can produce sparks, hot slag or spatter, molten metal drops
and hot metal parts that can start fires.
1. Clear the floor and walls of an area of all combustible and/or flammable
materials up to 39 ft (12 metres) away from the plasma cutting machine.
Hot debris ejected during welding can land at a considerable distance
away. Solid floors of concrete or masonry is the preferred
working surface.
1.1 Cover any combustible material with fire resistant covers or
shields, if it cannot be removed. The covering must be tight and
should not leave openings for sparks or ejected slag to enter.
1.2 Check both sides of a panel or wall for combustible material. Remove
the combustible material before welding.
2. A combustible floor should be protected with a fire-resistant
covering.
3. Seal cracks and openings to adjacent areas that a spark or slag can
enter. Seal any openings found with a fire-resistant cover. Shut doors
and windows that do not provide ventilation or erect protective
screens in front of them when possible.
4. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines or containers containing
flammable contents.

5. Do not perform any welding work on containers that held flammable
or toxic substance until they are cleaned by a person trained in
removing toxic and flammable substances and vapours per the
American Welding Standard AWS F4.1.
6. Open a container before performing any welding work on it. The heat
generated by the welding process will cause the air and gases to
expand. The internal pressure may cause a sealed or closed container
to rupture, possibly causing an injury or death.
7. Do not weld pipes or metal that are covered in combustible material
or in contact with combustible structure such as a wall. Only weld if
the covering can be safely removed.
7.1 Follow all safety precautions and legal requirements before
welding a workpiece that contains asbestos or attempting to
remove the asbestos covering. This requires expert knowledge
and equipment.
7.2 Molten slag can run down the inside and outside of a pipe and start
a fire. Be aware where the pipe terminates and take precautions.
8. Do not weld a panel that is a sandwich construction of combustible
and metal materials.
9. Have a fire extinguisher available for immediate use. A dry chemical fire
extinguisher for Types A, B and C is suggested.
9.1 Welding a combustible metal like zinc, magnesium or titanium
requires a Type D fire extinguisher.
9.2 Do not use liquid-based fire extinguishing methods near the
electric arc plasma cutting machine, as it may cause a
shock hazard.
10. Ventilation systems should be positioned so sparks or molten slag
isn’t carried to an adjacent area.
11. Have a Fire Watcher observing areas outside of the welder’s view,
such as the opposite side of a wall or behind the welder. A fire may
also start on the other side of a structure that could not be removed.
The Fire Watcher will extinguish a fire or raise the alarm to evacuate
if the fire cannot be contained by the extinguishing equipment.
11.1 A fire watch extends at least 30 minutes after the welding is
complete to ensure there are no fires caused by smoldering
sparks or ejected material.

FUMES AND GASES
WARNING! Stop welding and move to a location with ventilation if
your eyes, nose or throat become irritated. This indicates the
ventilation is not adequate to remove the fumes. Do not resume
welding or cutting until the ventilation is improved and the discomfort
ceases. Seek medical attention if the symptoms do not diminish or if
the welder experiences nausea, dizziness or malaise.
Welding or cutting may produce hazardous fumes and gas during the
welding process. A well-ventilated work area can normally remove the
fumes and gases, but sometimes the welding produces fumes and gases
that are hazardous to your health.
1. Only work in a confined space if the area is well ventilated or while
wearing a respirator or an air-supplied respirator. Welding fumes and gases
can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure
the breathing air is safe. Always have a trained watchperson nearby.
1.1 If ventilation in the work area is poor, use an approved air-
supplied respirator. All the people in the work area must also
have air-supplied respirators.
2. Avoid positions that allow welding fumes to reach your face. Always
attempt to weld ‘upwind’ of the workpiece with the airflow across the
face of the welder. Airflow from behind may create a low-pressure area
in front of the welder and draw the fumes to the person.
3. Ventilate the work area to remove welding fumes and gases. The
fumes and gases should be drawn away from the user.
3.1 Ventilation should be enough to disperse fumes, but not enough
to disturb the shielding gas or flame during welding.
3.2 Ventilation exhaust shall be directed to a non-work area to avoid
exposing other people to potential toxic or dangerous fumes.
3.3 Air removed from the work area by the ventilation system must
be replenished with fresh air to avoid oxygen starvation or a
build-up of fumes or gases. Only use air to provide ventilation.
Any other combination of gases may be explosive or toxic to
people in the work area.
3.4 Ventilation methods that remove gas and fumes from the
welding point before they reach the welder’s face should be
given preference.
