1. GENERAL INFORMATION
GASES AND FUMES
1.01 Notes, Cautions and Warnings
Gases and fumes produced during the Arc
welding/cutting process can be dangerous and
hazardous to your healt.
Throughout this manual,notes,cautions,and
warnings are used to highlight important
information. These highlights are categorized as
follows:
• Keep all fumes and gases from the breathing
area. Keep your head out of the welding fume
plume.
NOTE
• Use an air-supplied respirator if ventilation is
not adeguate to remove all fumes and gases.
An operation, procedure, or background
information wich requires additional emphasis or
is helpful in efficent operation of the system
.
• The kinds of fumes and gases from the arc
welding/cutting depend on the kind of metal
being used coatings on the metal, and the
different process. You must be very careful
when cutting or welding any metals which may
contain one or more of the following:
CAUTION
A procedure which, if not properly followed, may
cause damage to the equipment.
Antimony Chromium Mercury
Arsenic Cobalt Nickel
Barium Copper Selenium
Beryllium Lead Silver
Cadmium Manganese
WARNING
A procedure which, if not properly followed, may
cause injury to the operator or others in the
operating area.
• Always read the Material Safety data Sheets
(MSDS) that should be supplied with the
material you are using. These MSDS will give
you the information regarding the kind and
amount of fumes and gases that may dangerous
to your healt.
1.02 Important Safety Precautions
• For information on how to test for fumes and
gases in your workplace, refer to item 1 in
Subsection 1.03, Publication in this manual.
WARNING
• Use special equipment, such as water or down
draft welding/cutting tables, to capture fumes
and gases.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF
WELDING EQUIPMENT CAN BE DANGEROUS
AND HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALT.
• Do not use the welding torch in an area where
combustible or explosive gases or materials
are located.
To prevent possible injury, read, understand, and
follow all warnings, safety precautions and
instructions bedore using the equipment. Call 1-
603-298-5711 or your local distributor if you have
any questions.
• Phosgene, a toxic gas, is generated from the
vapors of chlorinated solvents and cleansers.
Remove all sources of these vapors.
GENERAL INFORMATION
7
ELECTRIC SHOCK
Electric Shock can injure or kill. The arc welding
process uses and produces high voltage electrical
energy. This electric energy can cause severe or
fatal shock to the operator or others in the
workplace
• Never touch any parts that are electrically
“live” or “hot”.
• Wear dry gloves and clothing. Insulate
yourself from the work piece or other parts of
the welding circuit.
• Repair or replace all worn ar damage parts.
• Extra care must be taken when the workplace
is moist or damp.
• Install and mantain equipment according to
NEC code, refer to item 4 in Subsection 1.03,
Publications.
• Disconnect power source before performing
any service or repairs.
• Read and follow all the instruction in the
Operating Manual.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION
Fire and explosion can be caused by hot slag,
sparks or the arc weld.
• Be sure there is no combustible or flammable
material in the workplace. Any material that
cannot be removed must be protected.
• Ventilate all flammable or explosive vapors
from the workplace.
• Do not cut or weld on containers that may
have held combustibles.
• Provide a fire watch when working in an area
where fire hazards may exist.
• Hydrogen gas may be formed and trapped
under aluminium workpieces when they
are cut underwater or while using a water
table. DO NOT cut aluminium alloys
underwater or on a water table unless the
hydrogen gas can be eliminated or
dissipated. Trapped hydrogen gas that is
ignited will cause an explosion.
NOISE
Noise can cause permanent hearing loss. Arc
welding/cutting processes can cause noise levels
to exceed safe limits. You must protect your ears
from loud noise to prevent permanent loss of
hering.
• To protect your hearing from loud noise wear
protective ear plugs and/or ear muffs. Protect
others in the workplace.
• Noise levels should be measured to be sure the
decibels (sound) do not exceed safe levels.
•
For information on how to test for noise,
see item 1 in Subsection 1.03, Publications,
in this manual.
ARC WELDING RAYS
Arc Welding/Cutting Rays can injure your
eyes and burn your skin. The arc welding
cutting process produces very bright ultra
violet and infra red light. These arc rays will
damage your eyes and burn your skin if you
are not properly protected.
• To protect your eyes, always wear a welding
helmet or shield. Also always wear safety
glasses with side shields goggles or other
protective eye wear.
• Wear welding gloves and suitable clothing to
protect your skin from the arc rays and sparks
GENERAL INFORMATION
8
Keep helmet and safety glasses in good condition.
replace lenses when cracked, chipped or dirty.
• Protect others in the work area from the arc
rays. Use protective booths, screens or shields.
• Use the shade of lens as raccomanded in
Subsection 1.03, item 4.

BRUIT
Le bruit peut provoquer une perte permanente de
l’ouie. Les procédés de soudage à l’arc de plasma
peuvent provoquer des niveaux sonores
supérieures aux limites normalement acceptables.
Vous dùvez vous protéger les oreilles contre les
bruits forts afin d’éviter une perte permanente de
l’ouïe.
• Pour protéger votre ouïe contre les bruits forts,
portez des taòpons protecteurs st/ou des
protections auriculaires. Protégez également
les autres personnes se trouvant sur le lieu de
travail.
• Il faut measurer les niveaux sonores afin
d’assurer que les décibels (le bruit) ne
dépassent pas les niveaux sûrs.
• Pour des renseignements sur la manière de
tester le bruit, consultez l’article 1, page 5.

6. SPECIFICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
The Thermal Arc TA-4/170 H is a gasoline
engine driven DC welding generator. This
unit is designed for use with Shielded Metal
Arc Welding (SMAW) processes.
NOTE
Volt-ampere curves show the voltage and
amperage output capabilities of the welding
power source. Curves of other settings will
fall between the curves shown.
DUTY CYCLE
The duty cycle of a welding generator is the
percentage of a ten minute period that welding
generator can be operated at a given output
without causing overheating and damaging of
the unit. This unit is rated at 60 percent duty
cycle when operated at 170 amperes. The unit
can be operated at 170 amperes for six
consecutives minutes, but it must operate at
no load for the remaining four minutes to
allow proper cooling. If the welding amperes
decrease, the duty cycle increases. If the
welding amperes are increased beyond rated
output, the duty cycle will decrease.
CAUTION
EXCEEDING DUTY CYCLE RATINGS
will cause the thermal overload protection
circuit to become energized and shut down
output until the cools to normal operating
temperature.
CAUTION
CONTINUAL EXCEEDING OF DUTY
CYCLE RATINGS can cause damage to the
welding power source.
• Do not exceed indicated duty cycles.
NOTE: Full output may not be
achived before Engine break-in time.
Engine break-in time is Approx. 80
hours.

- Stop engine before fueling.
- Do not fuel while smoking or near sparks or flames.
- Do not overfill tank-clean up any spilled fuel.
REMOVE FUEL CAP SLOWLY-FUEL SPRAY MAY CAUSE INJURY.
FUEL MAY BE UNDER PRESSURE.
Rotate fuel cap slowly and wait until hissing stops before removing cap.
Check all fluids daily. Engine must be cold and on a level surface.
Add fresh fuel starting engine the first time.
