Best Tips On Plasma Cutting Safety
If you are interested in purchasing a plasma cutter, here are some useful tips for safe operation:
- Only allow trained personnel to operate the Plasma Cutter
- Always use eye protection when operating the machine. The best option is to buy auto-darkening eyewear.
- Avoid wearing clothes that leave your body unprotected. You can get skin burn from sparks in no time.
- Don’t forget to cover your hands. Operators should wear gloves and carry the shield at all times.
- Proper Rubber boots are a must. Not only they would protect your feet, but also improve your balance and prevent slipping.
- Pick your working area clean. Remove any combustible materials and have a fire extinguisher within reach.
- Always wear a respiratory mask while operating for lung protection. Fumes that are produced are toxic.
