Plasma Cutting Safety Tips

When you operating plasma cutter you should not only consider safety for you other than that you need to know about cutting an object. That has been mentioned here,

Electric Shock:
Plasma cutters are connects with an electric circuit between the torch and work object. If anything touches with a work object, electric circuit will pass that object also. So, dont touch the torch body or on the work object when plasma cutter is operating otherwise electric shock may end your life.

Voltages & Currents
Generally plasma cutter is an easy to use tool to cut steel and electrically conductive metals. To cut steel and welding materials, cutters need high voltage electrical arc and a compressed gas. Plasma cutters electrical voltages are much greater than welding voltages, normally 100-200 volts.

Precautions While Plasma Cutting:
While you cutting an object dont retrieve a work object and waste cutoff during the cutting. Just leave the work object on the cutting bench with the ground cables attached during the cutting process.

Dont remove the ground clamp while youre cutting process. Never remove the ground cable attached with work object while cutting process.

Wearing insulated boots and gloves are very important equipment in any serious place of your process and it keeps your body and clothing always dry.

Do not stand, sit or lie on or otherwise touch any wet surface when using the plasma cutter system.

Never stand, sit or lie otherwise touch any wet surface area when using the plasma cutting process.

Plasma Cutter Ground Cables:

Always ensure the ground cable is connects with the work object during plasma cutting. Replace the plasma cutter ground clamp if damaged.

Dont attach ground cable with work object; it will be fall away when the cutting process is over.
