Lock the torch
SmartSYNC torches include a switch that lets you lock the torch. This torch-lock switch prevents
the torch from firing accidentally, even when the plasma power supply is ON.
Use this switch to lock the torch when it is not in use, when it is necessary to change the
Hypertherm cartridge, or when it is necessary to move the plasma power supply or torch while the
plasma power supply is ON.
Torch LOCK position:
The yellow label with the “X” shows that the
torch is not prepared to fire.
Point the torch away from yourself and
others, and pull the trigger to make sure that
it does not fire.
When the torch is locked, the Fault LED
comes on, and the Torch Cap Sensor
icon and 0-50-1 fault code show on the
status screen.
You CAN install the cartridge.
Torch “ready to fire” position:
The green label with the “ ” shows that
the torch is prepared to fire.
Do NOT change the cartridge.
