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 4 − INSTALLATION 4-1. Selecting A Location Movement Do not move or operate unit where it could tip. Location And Airflow Special installation may be required where gasoline or volatile liquids are present − see NEC Article 511 or CEC Section 20.
4-2. Selecting Cable Sizes* NOTICE − The Total Cable Length in Weld Circuit (see table below) is the combined length of both weld cables. For example, if the power source is 30 m (100 ft) from the workpiece, the total cable length in the weld circuit is 60 m (2 cables x 30 m). Use the 60 m (200 ft) column to determine cable size.
