Make sure the power is OFF before changing consumables. A complete set of shielded consumables is shipped with the Tm machine torch. In addition, an ohmic sensing retaining cap is available for use with the Tm shielded consumables. Unshielded consumables and the Tv (Powermax) A consumables are also available for use with the Tm. Using the cut charts The following sections provide illustrations of the consumable sets and cut charts for each set. cut speeds are the fastest speeds possible to cut material without regard to cut quality. cut speeds are a good starting point for finding the best quality cut (best angle, least dross, and best cut surface finish). You will need to adjust the speeds for your application and your table to obtain the desired cut quality. When cutting thin metal (3 mm/10 Ga or thinner), you may achieve a higher cut quality by using the Tv (Powermax) A consumables and cut charts.
