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 d u 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: Limiter par exemple tout accès
aux passants ou procéder à une évaluation des risques individuels 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.

OM-1600 Page 4

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.

6-2. Preparing Tungsten Electrode For Welding With Phase Control Machines

! Grinding the tungsten electrode produces dust and flying sparks which can cause injury and start fires. Use

local exhaust (forced ventilation) at the grinder or wear an approved respirator. Read MSDS for safety infor­mation. Consider using tungsten containing ceria, lanthana, or yttria instead of thoria. Grinding dust from
thoriated electrodes contains low-level radioactive material. Properly dispose of grinder dust in an environ­mentally safe way. W ear proper face, hand, and body protection. Keep flammables away.

7-1. Positioning The Torch

! Grinding the tungsten elec-

trode produces dust and fly­ing sparks which can cause
injury and start fires. Use lo­cal exhaust (forced ventila­tion) at the grinder or wear an
approved respirator. Read
MSDS for safety information.
Consider using cerium or
lanthanum based tungsten
instead of thoriated. Tho­rium dust contains low-level
radioactive material. Proper­ly dispose of grinder dust in
an environmentally safe way.
Wear proper face, hand, an d
body protection. Keep flam­mables away.

1 Workpiece
Make sure workpiece is clean

before welding.
2 Work Clamp
Place as close to the weld as

possible.
3 Torch
4 Filler Rod (If Applicable)
5 Gas Cup
6 Tungsten Electrode
Select and prepare tungsten

according to Section 6.

Guidelines:

The inside diameter of the gas cup
should be at least three times the
tungsten diameter to provide ade­quate shielding gas coverage. (For
example, if tungsten is 1/16 in
diameter, gas cup should be a
minimum of 3/16 in diameter.

Tungsten extension is the distance
the tungsten extends out gas cup of
torch.

The tungsten extension should be
no greater than the inside diameter
of the gas cup.

Arc length is the distance from the
tungsten to the workpiece.

Miller’s True Blue® Limited Warranty shall not apply to:

covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, if any.

3. Equipment that has been modified by any party other than
Miller, or equipment that has been improperly installed,
improperly operated or misused based upon industry
standards, or equipment which has not had reasonable
and necessary maintenance, or equipment which has
been used for operation outside of the specifications for
the equipment.

MILLER PRODUCTS ARE INTENDED FOR PURCHASE AND
USE BY COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL USERS AND PERSONS
TRAINED AND EXPERIENCED IN THE USE AND
MAINTENANCE OF WELDING EQUIPMENT.

In the event of a warranty claim covered by this warranty, the
exclusive remedies shall be, at Miller’s option: (1) repair; or (2)

Miller’s option of repair or replacement will be F.O.B., Factory at

as determined by Miller. Therefore no compensation or
reimbursement for transportation costs of any kind will be allowed.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE REMEDIES
PROVIDED HEREIN ARE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE
REMEDIES. IN NO EVENT SHALL MILLER BE LIABLE FOR
DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFIT),
WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
LEGAL THEORY.

ANY EXPRESS WARRANTY NOT PROVIDED HEREIN AND ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTY, GUARANTY OR REPRESENTATION AS
TO PERFORMANCE, AND ANY REMEDY FOR BREACH OF

BUT FOR THIS PROVISION, MIGHT ARISE BY IMPLICATION,
OPERATION OF LAW, CUSTOM OF TRADE OR COURSE OF
DEALING, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL EQUIPMENT
FURNISHED BY MILLER IS EXCLUDED AND DISCLAIMED BY
MILLER.

Some states in the U.S.A. do not allow limitations of how long an
implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion of incidental, indirect,
special or consequential damages, so the above limitation or
exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty provides specific
legal rights, and other rights may be available, but may vary from
state to state.

In Canada, legislation in some provinces provides for certain
additional warranties or remedi es o th er th a n a s s ta t ed he r ei n, and to
the extent that they may not be waived, the limitations and
exclusions set out above may not apply. This Limited Warranty
provides specific legal rights, and other rights may be available, but
