1-2.Arc Welding Hazards
The symbols shown below are used throughout this manual
to call attention to and identify possible hazards. When you
see the symbol, watch out, and follow the related instructions to avoid the hazard. The safety information given below is only a summary of the more complete safety
information found in the Principal Safety Standards, and in
welding power source Owner’s Manual. Read and follow all
Safety Standards.
Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain,
and repair this equipment. A qualified person is defined as
one who, by possession of a recognized degree, certificate,
or professional standing, or who by extensive knowledge,
training and experience, has successfully demonstrated the
ability to solve or resolve problems relating to the subject
matter, the work, or the project and has received safety
training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved.
During operation, keep everybody, especially children,
away.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
l Always wear dry insulating gloves.
l Insulate yourself from work and ground.
l Do not touch live electrode or electrical parts.
cables.
l Turn off welding power source before changing contact tip or gun
parts.
l Keep all covers and handle securely in place.
is to sample for the composition and quantity of fumes and gases
to which personnel are exposed.
l Read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and the
manufacturer’s instructions for adhesives, coatings, cleaners, consumables, coolants, degreasers, fluxes, and metals.
l Replace worn, damaged, or cracked guns or
FUMES AND GASES can be
hazardous.
l Keep your head out of the fumes.
l Ventilate area, or use breathing device. The rec-
ommended way to determine adequate ventilation
MOVING PARTS can injure.
l Keep away from moving parts.
l Keep away from pinch points such as drive rolls.
This group of symbols means Warning! Watch Out! ELECTRIC
SHOCK, MOVING PARTS, and HOT PARTS hazards. Consult
symbols and related instructions below for necessary actions to
avoid these hazards.
WELDING can cause fire or
explosion.
l Do not weld near flammable material.
l Do not weld on containers that have held combus-
tibles, or on closed containers such as tanks,
drums, or pipes unless they are properly prepared according to
AWS F4.1 (see Safety Standards).
l Watch for fire; keep extinguisher nearby.
l Read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and the
manufacturer’s instructions for adhesives, coatings, cleaners, consumables, coolants, degreasers, fluxes, and metals.
BUILDUP OF GAS can injure or kill.
l Shut off compressed gas supply when not in use.
l Always ventilate confined spaces or use approved
air-supplied respirator.
ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.
Arc rays from the welding process produce intense
visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays
that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the
weld.
l Wear an approved welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of fil-
ter lenses to protect your face and eyes from arc rays and sparks
when welding or watching (see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 listed in
Safety Standards).
l Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your
helmet.
l Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash,
glare, and sparks; warn others not to watch the arc.
l Wear body protection made from leather or flame-resistant cloth-
ing (FRC). Body protection includes oil-free clothing such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a cap.
HOT PARTS can burn.
l Allow gun to cool before touching.
l Do not touch hot metal.
l Protect hot metal from contact by others.

Noise from some processes or equipment can
damage hearing.
l Check for noise level limits exceeding those speci-
fied by OSHA.
l Use approved ear plugs or ear muffs if noise level is high.
l Warn others nearby about noise hazard.

1-5.EMF Information
Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized electric and magnetic fields (EMF). The current from arc welding (and allied processes including spot welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting,
and induction heating operations) creates an EMF field around the
welding circuit. EMF fields can interfere with some medical implants,
e.g. pacemakers. Protective measures for persons wearing medical
implants have to be taken. For example, restrict access for passers
−by or conduct individual risk assessment for welders. All welders
should use the following procedures in order to minimize exposure to
EMF fields from the welding circuit:
1. Keep cables close together by twisting or taping them, or using a
cable cover.
2. Do not place your body between welding cables. Arrange cables
to one side and away from the operator.
3. Do not coil or drape cables around your body.
4. Keep head and trunk as far away from the equipment in the welding circuit as possible.
5. Connect work clamp to workpiece as close to the weld as
possible.
6. Do not work next to, sit or lean on the welding power source.
7. Do not weld whilst carrying the welding power source or wire
feeder.
About Implanted Medical Devices:
Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the
device manufacturer before performing or going near arc welding,
spot welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating operations. If cleared by your doctor, then following the above procedures
is recommended.

2-5.Informations relatives aux CEM
Le courant électrique qui traverse tout conducteur génère des
champs électromagnétiques (CEM) à certains endroits. Le courant issu d’un soudage à l’arc (et de procédés connexes, y compris le soudage par points, le gougeage, le découpage plasma et les opérations
de chauffage par induction) crée un champ électromagnétique (CEM)
autour du circuit de soudage. Les champs électromagnétiques produits peuvent causer interférence à certains implants médicaux,
p. ex. les stimulateurs cardiaques. Des mesures de protection pour
les porteurs d’implants médicaux doivent être prises: par exemple,
des restrictions d’accès pour les passants ou une évaluation individuelle des risques pour les soudeurs. Tous les soudeurs doivent appliquer les procédures suivantes pour minimiser l’exposition aux CEM
provenant du circuit de soudage:
1. Rassembler les câbles en les torsadant ou en les attachant avec
du ruban adhésif ou avec une housse.
2. Ne pas se tenir au milieu des câbles de soudage. Disposer les câbles d’un côté et à distance de l’opérateur.
3. Ne pas courber et ne pas entourer les câbles autour de votre
corps.
4. Maintenir la tête et le torse aussi loin que possible du matériel du
circuit de soudage.
5. Connecter la pince sur la pièce aussi près que possible de la
soudure.
6. Ne pas travailler à proximité d’une source de soudage, ni s’asseoir
ou se pencher dessus.
7. Ne pas souder tout en portant la source de soudage ou le
dévidoir.
En ce qui concerne les implants médicaux :
Les porteurs d’implants doivent d’abord consulter leur médecin avant
de s’approcher des opérations de soudage à l’arc, de soudage par
points, de gougeage, du coupage plasma ou de chauffage par induction. Si le médecin approuve, il est recommandé de suivre les procédures précédentes.

3-1.Information About Default Weld Parameters And Settings
NOTICE – Each welding application is unique. Although certain Miller Electric products are designed to determine and default to certain typical
welding parameters and settings based upon specific and relatively limited application variables input by the end user, such default settings are
for reference purposes only; and final weld results can be affected by other variables and application-specific circumstances. The appropriateness of all parameters and settings should be evaluated and modified by the end user as necessary based upon application-specific requirements. The end user is solely responsible for selection and coordination of appropriate equipment, adoption or adjustment of default weld
parameters and settings, and ultimate quality and durability of all resultant welds. Miller Electric expressly disclaims any and all implied warranties including any implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.
Duty Cycle is percentage of 10 minutes that unit can weld at rated
load without overheating.
NOTICE – Exceeding duty cycle can damage unit and void warranty.
