Prepare to fire the torch
To prevent accidental firing, the hand torch is equipped with a torch-disable switch and a safety
trigger. To fire the torch:
1. Install the correct consumables. See page 46.
2. Make sure the torch-disable switch is
in the green “ready to fire” ( )
position.

The first time you pull the
torch trigger after you set the
torch to the “ready to fire”
position, the torch may emit
multiple puffs of air in quick
succession. This warns you
that the torch is active and
will fire an arc the next time
the trigger is pulled.
Seepage45.
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.
The plasma arc will cut quickly through gloves and skin.
 Wear correct and appropriate protective equipment.
 Keep hands, clothing, and objects away from the torch tip.
 Do not hold the workpiece. Keep your hands clear of the
cutting path.
 Never point the torch toward yourself or others.
