From Miller to You 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.

SECTION 3 − INSTALLATION 3-1. Important Information Regarding CE Products (Sold Within The EU) This equipment shall not be used by the general public as the EMF limits for the general public might be exceeded during welding. This equipment is built in accordance with EN 60974−1 and is intended to be used only in an occupational environment (where the general public access is prohibited or regulated in such a way as to be similar to occupational use) by an expert or an instructed person.
3-4. Site Selection Wire Feeder Lifting Eye Rubber Feet Slot Choose slot that allows all rubber feet to sit securely on top of welding power source. Wire Spool/Reel Gas Cylinder (Customer Supplied) Shielding gas pressure not to exceed 0.500 Mpa (72 PSI). Welding Power Source Do not put feeder where welding wire hits cylinder.

3-9. Optional Meter Circuit Board Settings Meter Circuit Board DIP Switch S2 Set DIP switch S2 for type of welding power source, and desired wire feed speed display (see illustration). Reinstall wrapper. X Indicates switch position does not affect specified function. Means switch must be in this position.
3-10. Installing Wire Guide And Drive Roll Install and secure inlet wire guide, and intermediate wire guide. Install drive rolls and turn drive roll nut one click. During maintenance intervals, remove drive rolls, and clean grooves using a wire brush. Check groove of drive roll for pitting or increase in the depth of the groove indicating drive roll is worn out.
3-11. Installing And Threading Welding Wire Retaining Ring Hub Tension Adjustment Nut If necessary, move hub on support for use of a different size wire spool. Remove retaining ring, and install spool so hub pin fits spool hole. Reinstall retaining ring. Adjust tension nut so wire is taut when wire feed stops.
SECTION 4 − OPERATION 4-1. Front Panel Controls Optional Voltage/Wire Speed Meter Optional Voltage/Wire Speed Switch Use switch to choose volts or wire feed speed display. Optional Remote Voltage Control Use control to set welding power source voltage at the wire feeder. Numbers are for reference only.
