To prevent accidental firing, the hand torch has a torch-lock switch and a safety trigger. To fire the
torch, do the following:
1. Install the correct cartridge. Refer to Step 3 – Install the cartridge on page 66.
When you install a Hypertherm cutting cartridge, the system goes to
Cut mode.
 To change the mode from Cut mode to Expanded Metal mode,
push the button.

When you install a cutting cartridge, Gouge mode is not available.
2. Make sure that the torch-lock switch is
in the green “ready to fire” ( ) position.

The first time that you pull the
torch trigger after you set the
torch to the “ready to fire”
position, multiple puffs of air
quickly come from the torch. This
is a warning that the torch is
active and will fire an arc the next
time that you pull the trigger.
Refer to Warning puffs of air
(hand torches) on page 70.
3. Flip the trigger’s safety cover forward
(toward the torch head) and pull the red
torch trigger.
