Service Manual
Choose the hand torch consumables
Powermax systems with the Duramax series H65, H85, H65s, or H85s torch are shipped with a full set of cutting
consumables pre-installed. Hypertherm also includes spare cutting electrodes and nozzles, and gouging consumables in
the consumables box.
Both styles of hand torches shown above use the same consumables.
Hand torches use shielded consumables. Therefore, you can drag the torch tip along the metal.
Consumables for hand cutting are shown on the next page. Notice that the retaining cap and electrode are the same for
cutting, gouging, and FineCut
®
applications. Only the shield, nozzle, and swirl ring are different.
For the best cut quality on thin materials, you may prefer to use FineCut consumables, or use a 45A nozzle and reduce
the amperage to that setting.
