    Can I use my hand torch pm30. On the water table with out affecting the accumove controller electronics? I don't see any reason why not, just checking. GS 4x4.

    Yes you will be fine with that. You would just change the MODE on the plasma power supply and switch it back when you are reconnected to the machine torch.

    Yes you can connect a hand torch to your HT65 and run it on our table. You will be adjusting the MODE on your HT to the first mode. Once complete you just need to connect the machine torch back up and switch the MODE to #2.
    Make sure the AM is OFF when you cut with the hand torch to make sure you are not sending signals to the box.

    Go to Job Setup screen and change Retract Mode from Partial to Full, you can change back to Partial once you resume the job.
