Thank you and congratulations on choosing Miller.

Now you can get the job done and get it done right. We

know you don’t have time to do it any other way.

That’s why when Niels Miller first started building arc

welders in 1929, he made sure his products offered

long-lasting value and superior quality. Like you, his

customers couldn’t afford anything less. Miller

products had to be more than the best they could be.

They had to be the best you could buy.

Today, the people that build and sell Miller products continue the

tradition. They’re just as committed to providing equipment and service

that meets the high standards of quality and value established in 1929.

Miller products. Please take time to read the Safety precautions. They

will help you protect yourself against potential hazards on the worksite.

We’ve made installation and operation quick

and easy. With Miller you can count on years

of reliable service with proper maintenance.

And if for some reason the unit needs repair,

there’s a Troubleshooting section that will

help you figure out what the problem is. The

parts list will then help you to decide which

exact part you may need to fix the problem.

Warranty and service information for your

particular model are also provided.

Miller is the first welding

equipment manufacturer in

the U.S.A. to be registered to

the ISO 9001 Quality System

Standard.

Working as hard as you do

– every power source from

Means Warning! Watch Out! There are possible hazards with this

procedure!The possible hazards are shown in the adjoining symbols.

This group of symbols means Warning! Watch Out! Possible ELECTRIC SHOCK and HOT PARTS hazards.

Consult symbols and related instructions below for necessary actions to avoid the hazards.

YMarks a special safety message.

.Means NOTE; not safety related.

1-2. GMAW Gun Hazards

WARNING

PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS FROM POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. KEEP CHILDREN

AWAY. PACEMAKER WEARERS KEEP AWAY UNTIL CONSULTING YOUR DOCTOR.

In welding, as in most jobs, exposure to certain hazards occurs. Welding is safe when precautions are taken. The

safety information given below is only a summary of the more complete safety information found in the wire feeder

and welding power source Owner’s Manuals. Read and follow all safety precautions.

HAVE ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, AND REPAIR WORK PERFORMED ONLY BY

QUALIFIED PEOPLE.

GMAW WELDING can be hazardous.

ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.

1. Wear welding helmet with correct shade of filter.

2. Wear correct eye and body protection.

3. Cover exposed skin with spatter-resistant

clothing.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

1. Always wear dry insulating gloves.

2. Insulate yourself from work and ground.

3. Do not touch live electrode or electrical parts.

4. Repair or replace worn, damaged, or cracked

gun or cable insulation.

5. Turn off welding power source before changing

contact tip or gun parts.

6. Keep all covers and handle securely in place.

WELDING can cause fire or explosion.

1. Do not weld near flammable material.

2. Do not weld on closed containers.

3. Watch for fire; keep extinguisher nearby.

NOISE can damage hearing; SOME

APPLICATIONS, SUCH AS PULSING,

are noisy.

1. Check for noise level limits exceeding those

specifiedby OSHA.

2. Use approved ear plugs or ear muffs if noise level

is high.

3. Warn others nearby about noise hazard.

HOT SURFACES can burn skin.

1. Allow gun to cool before touching.

2. Do not touch hot metal.

3. Protect hot metal from contact by others.

FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous

to your health.

1. Keep your head out of the fumes.

2. Ventilate area, or use breathing device.

3. ReadMaterial Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and

manufacturer’s instructions for material used.

WELDING WIRE can cause puncture

wounds.

1. Keep hands and body away from gun tip when

triggeris pressed.

BUILD UP OF GAS can injure or

kill

1. Shutoff shielding gas supply when not in

use.

2. Always ventilate confined spaces or use

approvedair-supplied respirator.

EMF INFORMATION

The following is a quotation from the General Conclusions Section of

the U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Biological

Effects of Power Frequency Electric & Magnetic Fields –

Background Paper, OTA-BP-E-53 (Washington, DC: U.S.

GovernmentPrinting Office, May 1989): “. . . there is now a very large

volume of scientific findings based on experiments at the cellular

level and from studies with animals and people which clearly

establishthat low frequency magnetic fields can interact with, and

produce changes in, biological systems. While most of this work is

of very high quality, the results are complex. Current scientific

understandingdoes not yet allow us to interpret the evidence in a

single coherent framework. Even more frustrating, it does not yet

allowus to draw definite conclusions about questions of possible risk

or to offer clear science-based advice on strategies to minimize or

avoid potential risks.”

To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following

procedures:

1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them.

2. Arrange cables to one side and away from the operator.

3. Do not coil or drape cables around the body.

4. Keep welding power source and cables as far away as practical.

5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as

possible.

About Pacemakers:

The above procedures are among those also normally

recommended for pacemaker wearers. Consult your doctor for

completeinformation.

2-2. Duty Cycle And Overheating

Duty Cycle is percentage of 10 min-

utes that unit can weld at rated load

withoutoverheating.

Using mixed gases other than CO2

reduces duty cycle ratings 10–50%

depending on gas mixture and

weldingparameters.

YExceeding duty cycle can

damage unit and void

warranty.
