8. Turn the Power Supply Controller to the
desired current (15 to 40 amps).
9. Adjust air pressure by turning the
Pressure Regulator Knob on top of
the unit (see photo on page 9). Read
pressure on Pressure Gauge.
10. When everything is in place for cutting,
press the Power Switch UP to the ON
position. The green Power On Light
will illuminate, but the Torch is not yet
energized.
11. Orient yourself to one side of the area

the Power Supply Controller to a higher
level, and/ or increase air flow. To
increase air flow, press the Power Switch
to the Off (O) position, then adjust the air
pressure at the Air Pressure Regulator.
The air will continue to come out of the
Torch Handle for a few seconds once the
trigger is released.
