The Thermal Arc 95S welder has a self-resetting thermostat that protects it from overheating. If the yellow overheat light stays on and the welder does not cool down, possible components to check or replace include the thermostat itself or internal cooling components such as the fan. However, no specific replacement parts are listed in the provided information.

    OPERATION THERMAL ARC 95 S 4.12 Joint Preparations In many cases, it will be possible to weld steel sections without any special preparation. For heavier sections and for repair work on castings, etc., it will be necessary to cut or grind an angle between the pieces being joined to ensure proper penetration of the weld metal and to produce sound joints.

  • Page 36 THERMAL ARC 95 S OPERATION E. Preheating Suitable preheating of parts of the structure other than the area to be welded can be sometimes used to reduce distortion. Figure 4-23 shows a simple application. By removing the heating source from b and c as soon as welding is completed, the sections b and c will contract at a similar rate, thus reducing distortion.
