delivers easy starts, lower dross levels and quick arc transfer rates for fast
re-strikes, even on expanded metal. Long-lasting Vortech™ technology torch con-
centrates the arc to deliver outstanding cutting efficiency. Patented Parts-in-Place
safety indicator and lockout circuit protects both the operator and the system.
