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.
3-3. Serial Number And Rating Label Location The serial number and rating information for this product is located on the back. Use rating label to determine input power requirements and/or rated output. For future reference, write serial number in space provided on back cover of this manual. 3-4.
3-5. Duty Cycle and Overheating Duty Cycle is a percentage of 10 min- Rated Output utes that unit can weld at rated load without overheating. If unit overheats, thermostat(s) opens, output stops, and cooling fan runs. Wait fifteen minutes for unit to cool. Reduce amperage or voltage, or duty cycle be- fore welding.
3-7. Installing Gas Supply Obtain gas cylinder and chain to running gear, wall, or other stationary support so cylinder cannot fall and break off valve. Cylinder Valve Remove cap, stand to side of valve, and open valve slightly. Gas flow blows dust and dirt from valve. Close valve.

3-11. Electrical Service Guide Elec Serv 2011−08 Failure to follow these electrical service guide recommendations could create an electric shock or fire hazard. These recommenda- tions are for a dedicated circuit sized for the rated output and duty cycle of the welding power source. In dedicated circuit installations, the National Electrical Code (NEC) allows the receptacle or conductor rating to be less than the rating of the circuit protection device.
