Any help is appriciated. While setting up/connecting for first time I’ve found that after dissconecting machine torch and reconnecting hand held torch using plasma cutter. Then reconnecting machine torch, it will not “fire” . All connections look OK, not sure what has caused this?

Will the torch still fire manually?

G’day Bhali1, just a thought… make sure the screen doesn’t have the torch disabled with the red cross through torch icon.
