I got a Hypertherm 45 cutter mounted up and made a first cut. very impressive.

However it came with the manual torch which I understand cuts the same as the machine torch but when in use the machine connections are supposedly inoperative.
Is there a way to nicely set the unit up to use the manual torch with the machine connections or do I have to make some modifications?
I'm currently still in the experimental stage and will be setting up a breakaway mount and possibly going to a different controller.
Any advice would be appreciated.
