When you operating plasma cutter you should not only think 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 in the middle of the torch and work object. If anything touches with a work object, electric circuit will pass that object also. So, don't touch the torch body or on the work object when plasma cutter is operating otherwise electric shock may end your life.
SHOCK YOU LIKE AN ELECTRIC EEL
Voltages & Currents:
Generally plasma cutting 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, commonly 100-200 volts.
Precautions:
While you cutting an object don't retrieve a work object and waste cutoff while the cutting. Just leave the work object on the cutting bench with the ground cables attached while the cutting process.
Don't remove the ground clamp while you're cutting process. Never remove the ground cable attached with work object while cutting process.
Wearing insulated boots and gloves are very leading tool in any serious place of your process and it keeps your body and clothing all the time dry.
Do not stand, sit or lie on or otherwise touch any wet outside when using the plasma cutter system.
Never stand, sit or lie otherwise touch any wet outside area when using the plasma cutting process.
Ground Cables:
Always ensure the ground cable is connects with the work object while plasma cutting. Replace the plasma cutting motor ground clamp if damaged.
Don't attach ground cable with work object; it will be fall away when the cutting process is over.
Arc Rays:
Never use a plasma cutters without allowable eye protection. Plasma arc rays are producing the extremely intense ultraviolet and infrared waves that can burn your eyes, such as retina, cause cataracts and skin.
Protective Clothes:
Gloves, welding safety shoes and welding helmets.
Flame-retardant clothes.
Cuffless trousers
Remove flammable things from your pocket before cutting, such as a butane lighter or matches.
Noise Level:
Plasma cutting systems can originate a noise levels upto 120 db while the high-amperage cutting operations.
Always wear ear safety while plasma cutting process.
Toxic Fumes & Gases:
Plasma arc cutting systems can furnish a toxic fumes and gases that can work on your oxygen and serious injury
Always use your plasma cutter in a well ventilated area.
Don't do the cutting process in locations near degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.
