Safety information
Before you set up and operate your Hypertherm system, read the separate Safety and Compliance Manual included
with your system for important safety information.
System description
The Powermax65 and Powermax85 are highly portable, 65-amp and 85-amp, handheld and mechanized plasma cutting
systems appropriate for a wide range of applications. The Powermax systems use air or nitrogen to cut electrically
conductive metals, such as mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum. Smart Sense™ technology automatically adjusts the
gas pressure according to cutting mode and torch lead length for optimum cutting.
The Powermax65 can cut thicknesses up to 1 inch (25 mm) with a handheld torch and pierce thicknesses up to
5/8 inch (16 mm). The Powermax85 can cut thicknesses up to 1-1/4 inches (32 mm) and pierce thicknesses up to
3/4 inch (19 mm). FastConnect™ provides a simple push-button torch connection to the power supply for quick torch
changes.
The typical handheld Powermax system includes a Duramax™ series 75° hand torch with a consumables box and work
lead cable. Reference materials include: operator manual, quick setup card, registration card, setup DVD, and safety
manual.
The typical mechanized Powermax system includes a Duramax series 180° full-length machine torch with a consumables
box, work lead cable, and remote-start pendant. Reference materials include: operator manual, quick setup card,
registration card, setup DVD, and safety manual.
You can order additional styles of torches, consumables, and accessories – such as the plasma cutting guide – from
any Hypertherm distributor. See the Parts section for a list of spare and optional parts.
Powermax65 and Powermax85 power supplies are shipped without a plug on the power cord. See Section 2 Power
Supply Setup for more information.
