3 – Torch Setup
Consumable use
The hand torch ships with a complete set of consumables installed. The consumables are designed for a broad range of
cutting applications.
The amperage output setting you need to use depends on the thickness of the metal you are planning to cut and is limited
by the input power to your system. See
Voltage configurations on page 27.
 Do not use any other consumables in the Air T30 torch except for those listed in this
section, which are designed specifically for this system. The use of any other consumables
could adversely affect system performance.
Using the cut charts
Use the following cut charts to guide you in selecting the cutting current (amperage) based on the thickness and type of
the metal you need to cut.
The maximum cut speeds listed in the cut charts are the fastest possible speeds to cut metal without regard to cut quality.
Adjust the cutting speed for your application to obtain the desired cut quality.
WARNING!
INSTANT-ON TORCHES
PLASMA ARC CAN CAUSE INJURY AND BURNS
