Do not assume that every CARROT TOOL machine has the same electrical requirements.
Always check the specifications for the specific model.
6. Qualified Electrical Installation
Some welding, cutting, and power equipment may require dedicated circuits, higher-current electrical connections, adapters, plugs, or other electrical installation work.
Where professional electrical installation is required by the product or local regulations, use a qualified electrician.
CARROT TOOL does not recommend modifying electrical systems without the required knowledge and authorization.
7. Welding Arc Radiation
Welding arcs produce intense visible light as well as ultraviolet and infrared radiation.
Exposure may cause serious injury to the eyes and skin.
Appropriate protection may include:
- Welding helmet
- Suitable welding lens or auto-darkening filter
- Safety glasses
- Protective clothing
- Welding gloves
- Face protection
Do not look directly at a welding arc without appropriate eye protection.
Protect nearby persons using appropriate welding screens, barriers, or other safeguards.
8. Plasma Arc and Cutting Hazards
Plasma cutters use a high-temperature plasma arc capable of rapidly cutting conductive metal.
The plasma arc can cause severe burns or injury.
Operators should:
- Keep hands away from the cutting path
- Never point a plasma torch toward a person
- Use suitable gloves and protective clothing
- Wear appropriate eye and face protection
- Keep combustible materials away from cutting operations
- Follow correct torch and consumable installation procedures
- Disconnect the machine before servicing the torch
Never intentionally activate a plasma torch except as required for proper operation.
9. Sparks, Molten Metal and Hot Surfaces
Welding and cutting processes can produce:
- Sparks
- Molten metal
- Slag
- Hot workpieces
- Hot tools
- Hot torch components
These materials may remain hot even after welding or cutting has stopped.
Use suitable protective equipment and allow components and workpieces to cool before handling.
Do not assume that metal is safe to touch simply because it is no longer glowing.
10. Fire and Explosion Hazards
Welding, plasma cutting, and similar hot-work processes can ignite combustible materials.
Before beginning work:
- Remove flammable materials from the work area
- Inspect nearby areas for hidden combustibles
- Keep an appropriate fire extinguisher available
- Avoid welding or cutting near flammable liquids or gases
- Avoid working on containers that may contain combustible residues
- Monitor the area after completing hot work
Never weld or cut a container, tank, drum, pipe, or enclosed object that has contained flammable or explosive substances unless it has been properly cleaned, prepared, and declared safe by an appropriately qualified person.
11. Fumes and Gases
Welding and cutting can generate fumes, gases, vapors, and airborne particles that may be hazardous.
The type and severity of fumes can depend on:
- Base material
- Coatings
- Paint
- Plating
- Cleaning chemicals
- Welding process
- Consumables
- Work environment
Use adequate ventilation and, where necessary, appropriate fume extraction or respiratory protection.
Do not weld or cut in poorly ventilated enclosed spaces without appropriate controls.
Certain coated, painted, plated, or chemically treated materials may produce especially hazardous fumes when heated.
12. Confined Spaces
Welding, cutting, or generator operation in confined spaces may create additional hazards, including:
- Toxic fumes
- Oxygen deficiency
- Fire
- Explosion
- Electric shock
- Limited escape routes
Confined-space work should only be performed in accordance with applicable safety procedures and by properly trained personnel.
Additional ventilation, atmospheric monitoring, supervision, and rescue procedures may be required.
13. Compressed Gas Cylinders
Some welding processes use compressed shielding gases.
Compressed-gas cylinders can be hazardous if improperly stored, transported, connected, or damaged.
Users should:
- Secure cylinders upright where appropriate
- Protect cylinders from impact
- Keep cylinders away from excessive heat
- Use the correct regulator
- Inspect hoses and connections
- Keep oil and grease away from oxygen equipment
- Follow the gas supplier’s safety instructions
Do not modify gas cylinders, valves, or regulators.
14. Compressed Air for Plasma Cutters
Many plasma cutters require an external compressed-air supply.
Use air pressure and airflow that meet the requirements of the specific machine.
Incorrect air pressure, contaminated air, excessive moisture, or inadequate airflow may:
- Reduce cutting performance
- Damage consumables
- Cause unstable operation
- Affect equipment reliability
Use suitable filtration or moisture control where required.
Do not exceed the pressure limits stated for the equipment.
15. Personal Protective Equipment
The appropriate personal protective equipment depends on the task and may include:
