4 – Operation

Operate the plasma system

The following topics explain how to begin cutting with the plasma system.

Step 1 – Install the consumables

Before operating the plasma system 
and hand torch, first make sure:

1.

The power switch on the power 
supply is in the OFF (

O

) position.

2.

A complete set of consumables is 
installed on the hand torch 
as shown:

Electrode

Swirl ring

Nozzle

Retaining cap

Deflector*

*

Install the deflector by snapping it 
securely into place on the retaining cap.

Do not apply grease or 
other lubricants to the 
O-rings on the electrode 
and swirl ring.

These consumables are designed specifically for the Powermax30 AIR power supply and 
Air T30 hand torch. They cannot be used with any other Powermax system or torch.

WARNING!

INSTANT-ON TORCHES

PLASMA ARC CAN CAUSE INJURY AND BURNS

The plasma arc ignites immediately when you pull the torch trigger. Make 
sure the power is OFF (O) before changing consumables.
