Toxic Fumes - PROCRAFT 511464 Operating Instructions Manual

WARNING
INHALATION HAZARD: Welding and Plasma
Cutting Produce

TOXIC FUMES.

Exposure to welding or cutting exhaust fumes can increase
the risk of developing certain cancers, such as cancer of
the larynx and lung cancer. Also, some diseases that may
be linked to exposure to welding or plasma cutting exhaust
fumes are:
a. Early onset of Parkinson's Disease
b. Heart disease
c. Ulcers
d. Damage to the reproductive organs
e. Inflammation of the small intestine or stomach
f. Kidney damage
g. Respiratory diseases such as emphysema, bronchitis, or
pneumonia
Use natural or forced air ventilation and wear a respirator
approved by NIOSH to protect against the fumes produced
to reduce the risk of developing the above illnesses.
Avoid overexposure to fumes and gases. Always keep your
head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.
1. Use enough ventilation or exhaust, or both, to keep
fumes and gases from your breathing zone and general
area.
a. Where ventilation is questionable, have a qualified
technician take an air sampling to determine the need for
corrective measures. Use mechanical ventilation to improve
air quality. If engineering controls are not feasible, use an
approved respirator.
b. Work in a confined area only if it is well ventilated, or
while wearing an air-supplied respirator.
c. Follow OSHA guidelines for Permissible Exposure Limits
(PEL's) for various fumes and gases.
d. Follow the American Conference of Governmental
Industrial Hygienists recommendations for Threshold Limit
Values (TLV's) for fumes and gases.
e. Have a recognized specialist in Industrial Hygiene or
Environmental Services check the operation and air quality
and make recommendations for the specific welding or
cutting situation.
2. Always keep hoses away from welding/cutting spot.
Examine all hoses and cables for cuts, burns, or worn areas
before each use. If any damaged areas are found, replace
the hoses or cables immediately.
3. Read and understand all instructions and safety
precautions as outlined in the manufacturer's Manual for
the material you will weld or cut.
1. Proper cylinder care. Secure cylinders to a cart, wall, or
post, to prevent them from falling. All cylinders should be
used and stored in an upright position. Never drop or strike
a cylinder. Do not use cylinders that have been dented.
Cylinder caps should be used when moving or storing
cylinders. Empty cylinders should be kept in specified areas
and clearly marked "empty."
2. Never use oil or grease on any inlet connector, outlet
connector, or cylinder valves.
3. Use only supplied Torch on this Inverter Air Plasma
Cutter. Using components from other systems may cause
personal injury and damage components within.
People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s)
before using 1. this product. Electromagnetic fields
in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause
interference to, or failure of the pacemaker.
2. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. We recommend that
a 15amp extension cord be used with the 1.5mm
