Lock the torch
SmartSYNC torches include a switch that lets you lock the torch. This torch-lock switch prevents
the torch from firing accidentally, even when the plasma power supply is ON.
Use this switch to lock the torch when it is not in use, when you change the Hypertherm cartridge, or
when you move the plasma power supply or torch while the plasma power supply is ON.
Torch LOCK position:
 The yellow label with the “X” shows that the
torch is not prepared to fire.
 Point the torch away from yourself and others,
and pull the trigger to make sure that it does
not fire.

The Torch Cap LED on the front panel
comes on when you remove the
consumables or set the torch-disable
switch to the yellow lock (X) position while
the plasma power supply is still ON.
The LED extinguishes after you install the
consumables and set the torch-disable
switch to the green “ready to fire” ( )
position.
 You CAN install the cartridge.
Torch “ready to fire” position:
 The green label with the “ ” shows that
the torch is prepared to fire.
 Do NOT change the cartridge.
