Warning puffs of air
The first time you try to fire the torch after moving the torch-disable switch to the yellow lock (X)
position and then back to the green “ready to fire” ( ) position:
 The plasma arc does not fire.
 The torch emits multiple puffs of air in quick succession. The torch vibrates slightly with each
puff of air.
 The power supply makes an audible pressure-release sound with each puff of air.
This feedback serves as a warning. It does not indicate a fault condition. It alerts you that the torch is
activated and will produce a plasma arc the next time the torch is fired.

The Torch Cap LED on the front panel illuminates when you
remove the consumables or set the torch-disable switch to the
yellow lock (X) position while the plasma power supply is still
ON. The LED extinguishes after the torch emits the warning
puffs of air.
WARNING
INSTANT-ON TORCHES – PLASMA ARC CAN CAUSE INJURY, BURNS
The plasma arc ignites immediately when you pull the torch trigger.
Before changing consumables, one of the following actions must be
taken. Whenever possible, complete the first action.
 Turn OFF (O) the plasma power supply.
OR
 Move the torch-disable switch to the yellow lock (X) position
(closest to the torch lead). Pull the trigger to make sure the
torch does not fire a plasma arc.
