Torch
Test the torch-disable switch to make sure it
properly disables and activates the torch:
1. With the plasma power supply turned
ON, set the torch-disable switch to the
yellow lock (X) position.
2. Point the torch away from yourself and
others. Pull the trigger to make sure that
the torch does not fire an arc. For the
machine torch, run a START/STOP
command from the CNC.
3. Set the torch-disable switch to the
green “ready to fire” ( ) position.
4. Point the torch away from yourself and
others. Pull the trigger 1 time. For the
machine torch, run a START/STOP
command from the CNC. Make sure
that the torch does not fire an arc. Make
sure that instead the torch emits
multiple puffs of air in quick succession.
Seepage45.
Replace the torch-disable switch if it is not
working properly. See page 159.
