Read this manual thoroughly. A complete understanding of the
characteristics and capabilities of this equipment will assure the

2T.02 General Description
Plasma torches are similar in design to the automotive spark
plug. They consist of negative and positive sections separated
by a center insulator. Inside the torch, the pilot arc starts in the
gap between the negatively charged electrode and the positively
charged tip. Once the pilot arc has ionized the plasma gas, the
superheated column of gas flows through the small orifice in
the torch tip, which is focused on the metal to be cut.
A single torch lead provides gas from a single source to be
used as both the plasma and secondary gas. The air flow is
divided inside the torch head. Single - gas operation provides
a smaller sized torch and inexpensive operation.
