 Marks a special safety message.

 Means “Note”; not safety related.

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 Safety Standards listed in Section 1-5. Read and follow all
Safety Standards.

 Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, and

repair this unit.

 During operation, keep everybody, especially children, away.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks
or severe burns. The electrode and work circuit is
electrically live whenever the output is on. The input

live when power is on. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the
wire, wire reel, drive roll housing, and all metal parts touching the
welding wire are electrically live. Incorrectly installed or improperly
grounded equipment is a hazard.

 Do not touch live electrical parts.
 Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection.
 Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating mats

or covers big enough to prevent any physical contact with the work
or ground.

 Do not use AC output in damp areas, if movement is confined, or if

there is a danger of falling.

 Use AC output ONLY if required for the welding process.
 If AC output is required, use remote output control if present on

unit.

 Additional safety precautions are required when any of the follow-

ing electrically hazardous conditions are present: in damp
locations or while wearing wet clothing; on metal structures such
as floors, gratings, or scaffolds; when in cramped positions such
as sitting, kneeling, or lying; or when there is a high risk of unavoid­able or accidental contact with the workpiece or ground. For these
conditions, use the following equipment in order presented: 1) a
semiautomatic DC constant voltage (wire) welder, 2) a DC manual
(stick) welder, or 3) an AC welder with reduced open-circuit volt­age. In most situations, use of a DC, constant voltage wire welder
is recommended. And, do not work alone!

 Disconnect input power or stop engine before installing or

servicing this equipment. Lockout/tagout input power according to
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 (see Safety Standards).

 Properly install and ground this equipment according to its

Owner’s Manual and national, state, and local codes.

 Always verify the supply ground − check and be sure that input

power cord ground wire is properly connected to ground terminal in
disconnect box or that cord plug is connected to a properly
grounded receptacle outlet.

 When making input connections, attach proper grounding conduc-

tor first − double-check connections.

 Frequently inspect input power cord for damage or bare wiring −

replace cord immediately if damaged − bare wiring can kill.

ELECTRIC SHOCK, MOVING PARTS, and HOT PARTS hazards.
Consult symbols and related instructions below for necessary actions
to avoid the hazards.

 Turn off all equipment when not in use.
 Do not use worn, damaged, undersized, or poorly spliced cables.
 Do not drape cables over your body.
 If earth grounding of the workpiece is required, ground it directly

with a separate cable.

 Do not touch electrode if you are in contact with the work, ground,

or another electrode from a different machine.

 Do not touch electrode holders connected to two welding ma-

chines at the same time since double open-circuit voltage will be
present.

 Use only well-maintained equipment. Repair or replace damaged

parts at once. Maintain unit according to manual.

 Wear a safety harness if working above floor level.
 Keep all panels and covers securely in place.
 Clamp work cable with good metal-to-metal contact to workpiece

or worktable as near the weld as practical.

 Insulate work clamp when not connected to workpiece to prevent

contact with any metal object.

 Do not connect more than one electrode or work cable to any

single weld output terminal.

SIGNIFICANT DC VOLTAGE exists in inverter-type
welding power sources after removal of input
power.

 Turn Off inverter, disconnect input power, and discharge input

capacitors according to instructions in Maintenance Section
before touching any parts.

FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous.

Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing
these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your
health.

 Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.
 If inside, ventilate the area and/or use local forced ventilation at the

arc to remove welding fumes and gases.

 If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator.
 Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs)

and the manufacturer’s instructions for metals, consumables,
coatings, cleaners, and degreasers.

 Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while

wearing an air-supplied respirator. Always have a trained watch­person nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and
lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breath­ing air is safe.

 Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying op-

erations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form
highly toxic and irritating gases.

 Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or

cadmium plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the weld
area, the area is well ventilated, and while wearing an air-supplied
respirator. The coatings and any metals containing these elements
can give off toxic fumes if welded.

ENGLISH

ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.

BUILDUP OF GAS can injure or kill.

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.

 Wear an approved welding helmet fitted with a proper shade of fil-

ter lenses to protect your face and eyes when welding or watching
(see ANSI Z49.1 and Z87.1 listed in Safety Standards).

 Wear approved safety glasses with side shields under your

helmet.

 Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash,

glare and sparks; warn others not to watch the arc.

 Wear protective clothing made from durable, flame-resistant mate-

rial (leather, heavy cotton, or wool) and foot protection.

WELDING can cause fire or explosion.

Welding on closed containers, such as tanks,
drums, or pipes, can cause them to blow up. Sparks
can fly off from the welding arc. The flying sparks, hot

burns. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause
sparks, explosion, overheating, or fire. Check and be sure the area is
safe before doing any welding.

 Remove all flammables within 35 ft (10.7 m) of the welding arc. If

this is not possible, tightly cover them with approved covers.

 Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammable material.
 Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal.
 Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can

easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

 Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
 Be aware that welding on a ceiling, floor, bulkhead, or partition can

cause fire on the hidden side.

 Do not weld on closed containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes,

unless they are properly prepared according to AWS F4.1 (see
Safety Standards).

 Connect work cable to the work as close to the welding area as

practical to prevent welding current from traveling long, possibly
unknown paths and causing electric shock, sparks, and fire
hazards.

 Do not use welder to thaw frozen pipes.
 Remove stick electrode from holder or cut off welding wire at

contact tip when not in use.

 Wear oil-free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy

shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a cap.

 Remove any combustibles, such as a butane lighter or matches,

from your person before doing any welding.

 Follow requirements in OSHA 1910.252 (a) (2) (iv) and NFPA 51B

for hot work and have a fire watcher and extinguisher nearby.

workpiece, and hot equipment can cause fires and

FLYING METAL can injure eyes.

 Welding, chipping, wire brushing, and grinding

cause sparks and flying metal. As welds cool,
they can throw off slag.

 Wear approved safety glasses with side

shields even under your welding helmet.

 Shut off shielding gas supply when not in use.
 Always ventilate confined spaces or use

approved air-supplied respirator.

HOT PARTS can cause severe burns.

Noise from some processes or equipment can
damage hearing.

 Wear approved ear protection if noise level is

high.

CYLINDERS can explode if damaged.

Shielding gas cylinders contain gas under high
pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode. Since
gas cylinders are normally part of the welding
process, be sure to treat them carefully.

 Protect compressed gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechani-

cal shocks, physical damage, slag, open flames, sparks, and arcs.

 Install cylinders in an upright position by securing to a stationary

support or cylinder rack to prevent falling or tipping.

 Keep cylinders away from any welding or other electrical circuits.
 Never drape a welding torch over a gas cylinder.
 Never allow a welding electrode to touch any cylinder.

1-6. EMF Information

Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency
Electric And Magnetic Fields

Welding current, as it flows through welding cables, will cause electro­magnetic fields. There has been and still is some concern about such
fields. However, after examining more than 500 studies spanning 17
years of research, a special blue ribbon committee of the National
Research Council concluded that: “The body of evidence, in the
committee’s judgment, has not demonstrated that exposure to power­frequency electric and magnetic fields is a human-health hazard.”
However, studies are still going forth and evidence continues to be
examined. Until the final conclusions of the research are reached, you
may wish to minimize your exposure to electromagnetic fields when
welding or cutting.

To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following
procedures:

Duty Cycle is percentage of 10 min­utes that unit can weld at rated load
without overheating.

If unit overheats, output stops, the
Overtemperature Light comes On,
and the cooling fan runs. Wait fif­teen minutes for unit to cool. Re­duce amperage or duty cycle be­fore starting to weld again.

 Exceeding duty cycle can

damage unit and void

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

1. Consumable components; such as contact tips,

cutting nozzles, contactors, brushes, slip rings, relays
or parts that fail due to normal wear. (Exception:
brushes, slip rings, and relays are covered on Bobcat,
Trailblazer, and Legend models.)

2. Items furnished by Miller, but manufactured by others, such
as engines or trade accessories. These items are 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)
replacement; or, where authorized in writing by Miller in
appropriate cases, (3) the reasonable cost of repair or
replacement at an authorized Miller service station; or (4)
payment of or credit for the purchase price (less reasonable
depreciation based upon actual use) upon return of the goods at
customer’s risk and expense. Miller’s option of repair or
replacement will be F.O.B., Factory at Appleton, Wisconsin, or
F.O.B. at a Miller authorized service facility 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 CONTRACT TORT OR ANY
OTHER LEGAL THEORY WHICH, 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 remedies other than as stated herein,
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 may vary from province to province.
