Adjust the output current manually

Make sure that the output current (A) you select is correct for your cutting or gouging application. For example, an output current that is too low or too high for the material you are cutting can result in poor cut quality.

  1. Move the torch-lock switch to the green "ready to fire" position before you adjust the output current.
  2. Turn the adjustment knob as necessary to set the output current in increments of 1 A.

    You can also use the hand torch to set the output current. Refer to Adjust the output current from the hand torch.

The mode Light Emitting Diode (LED) flashes to let you know that the amperage has been manually adjusted. It continues to flash until you set the current back to default.
