Warning puffs of air
The following happens on SmartSYNC hand torches the first time that you try to fire the torch after
moving the torch-lock switch to the yellow lock (X) position and then back to the green “ready to
fire” ( ) position:
This feedback is a warning. It does not identify a fault condition. It tells you that the torch is
unlocked and will fire a plasma arc the next time that you pull the trigger.
The plasma arc does not fire.
The torch quickly puts out multiple puffs of air. You can feel a light tap in the torch handle with each
puff of air.
The plasma power supply makes a pressure-release sound that you can hear with each puff of air.
