Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines the safe use, setup, and maintenance of plate cutting attachments for gas cutting. Only trained and authorized personnel are permitted to operate this equipment, adhering to both this procedure and the SWP for Gas Welding and Cutting. Pre-use checks include inspecting the casing, appliance lead, gas hoses, and fittings for wear or damage. Faulty components must be replaced before use, and the equipment must be connected to an RCD-protected power circuit.

Operational precautions involve setting up the attachment securely, ensuring all hoses and cables are clear of the cutting area, and wearing appropriate PPE, such as eye protection, gloves, and footwear. Hot parts must be handled with care, and all flammables should be removed or covered from the workspace. During operation, ensure cut sections are supported to prevent falling. Maintenance includes disconnecting power and gas supplies, cleaning slag from the underside, and inspecting wheels for damage. Adherence to these guidelines ensures safe and efficient gas cutting operations.
