If you need to use the hand torch with a remote start...such as the output of your machine...you will need to either splice into the trigger switch wires inside the torch....or inside the power supply. They are relatively easy to trace...but as a Hypertherm employee...for product liability reasons I cannot help you do this.....sorry.
