3. Plasma Arc Cutting Hazards
Cutting sparks can cause fire or explosion.
Do not cut near flammable material or where the atmosphere can contain flammable dust,
gas, or liquid vapors (such as gasoline). Move flammables at least 35 feet (11 meters)
away or protect them with flame-proof covers (see NFPA 51B listed in Section 9).
Cutting sparks can cause fires. Have a fire extinguisher nearby, and have a trained fire
watch ready to use it. After completion of work, inspect area to ensure it is free of sparks,
glowing embers, and flames.
Do not cut on containers that have held combustibles, or on closed containers such as
tanks, drums, or pipes unless they are properly prepared according to AWS F4.1 and AWS
A6.0 (see Safety Standards in Section 9).
Plasma arc can injure.
Turn off power before disassembling torch.
Do not grip material near cutting path.
Do not touch hot parts bare-handed.
