1-2 powermax 65/85 Operator Manual
System description
The Powermax65 and Powermax85 are highly portable, 65-amp and 85-amp, handheld and
mechanized plasma cutting systems appropriate for a wide range of applications. The Powermax
systems use air or nitrogen to cut electrically conductive metals, such as mild steel, stainless
steel, or aluminum. Smart Sense™ technology automatically adjusts the gas pressure according to
cutting mode and torch lead length for optimum cutting.
The Powermax65 can cut thicknesses up to 1 inch (25 mm) with a handheld torch and pierce
thicknesses up to .5 inch (12 mm) with a mechanized torch. The Powermax85 can cut thicknesses
up to 1.25 inches (32 mm) and pierce thicknesses up to .75 inch (20 mm). FastConnect™ provides
a simple push-button torch connection to the power supply for quick torch changes.
The typical handheld Powermax system includes a Duramax™ series H65 or H85 hand torch with a
complete set of the consumables needed for cutting (shield, retaining cap, nozzle, electrode, swirl
ring), a consumables box (containing 2 spare electrodes, 2 spare nozzles, 1 gouging nozzle, and 1
gouging shield), and a work cable. Reference materials include: operator manual, quick setup card,
registration card, setup DVD, and safety manual.
The typical mechanized Powermax system includes a Duramax series M65 or M85 machine torch
with a complete set of the consumables needed for cutting (shield, retaining cap, nozzle, electrode,
swirl ring), a consumables box (containing 2 spare electrodes and 2 spare nozzles), work cable,
and remote-start pendant. Reference materials include: operator manual, quick setup card,
registration card, setup DVD, and safety manual.
You can order additional styles of torches, consumables, and accessories – such as the plasma
cutting guide – from any Hypertherm distributor. See Section 6, Parts, for a list of spare and
optional parts.
Powermax65 and Powermax85 power supplies are shipped without a plug on the power cord. See
“Prepare the electrical power” on page 2-4 for more information.
