§1 SAFETY Important Safety Precautions OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PLASMA ARC EQUIPMENT CAN BE DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH. Plasma arc cutting produces intense electric and magnetic emissions that may interfere with the proper function of cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids, or other electronic health equipment. Persons who work near plasma arc cutting applications should consult their medical health quali ed technician and the manufacturer of the health equipment to deter- mine whether a hazard exists.

ELECTRIC SHOCK Electric Shock can injure or kill. The plasma arc process uses and produces high voltage electrical energy. This electric energy can cause severe or fatal shock to the operator or others in the workplace. Never touch any parts that are electrically “live” or “hot. ” Wear dry gloves and clothing.
