OWNER’S MANUAL

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. Like you, his customers couldn’t afford anything less. Miller products had to be more than the best they could be. They had to be the best you could buy.

Today, the people that build and sell Miller products continue the tradition. They’re just as committed to providing equipment and service that meets the high standards of quality and value established in 1929.

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 power circuit and machine internal circuits are also 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 weld output in damp, wet, or confined spaces, 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 following 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!

� Do not connect to any electrical distribution system normally supplied by utility power unless a proper transfer switch and grounding procedure are employed.

This group of symbols means Warning! Watch Out! ELECTRIC

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

FLYING METAL OR DIRT 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.

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.

� Ventilate the work area and/or use local forced ventilation at the arc to remove welding fumes and gases. The recommended way to determine adequate ventilation is to sample for the composition and quantity of fumes and gases to which personnel are exposed.

� If ventilation is poor, wear an approved air-supplied respirator.

� Read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and the manufacturer’s instructions for adhesives, coatings, cleaners, consumables, coolants, degreasers, fluxes, and metals.

� 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 operations. 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.

BUILDUP OF GAS can injure or kill.

� Shut off compressed gas supply when not in use.

� Always ventilate confined spaces or use approved air-supplied respirator.

ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.

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 filter lenses to protect your face and eyes from arc rays and sparks 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 body protection made from leather or flame-resistant clothing (FRC). Body protection includes oil-free clothing such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a cap.

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 workpiece, and hot equipment can cause fires and burns.

OM-294672 Page 2

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 cut or weld on tire rims or wheels. Tires can explode if heated. Repaired rims and wheels can fail. See OSHA 29 CFR

1910.177 listed in Safety Standards.

� Do not weld on containers that have held combustibles, or on closed containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes unless they are properly prepared according to AWS F4.1 (see Safety Standards).

� Do not weld where the atmosphere can contain flammable dust, gas, or liquid vapors (such as gasoline).

� 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 body protection made from leather or flame-resistant clothing (FRC). Body protection includes oil-free clothing 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.

� After completion of work, inspect area to ensure it is free of sparks, glowing embers, and flames.

� Use only correct fuses or circuit breakers. Do not oversize or bypass them.

� Follow requirements in OSHA 1910.252 (a) (2) (iv) and NFPA 51B for hot work and have a fire watcher and extinguisher nearby.

� Read and understand the Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and the manufacturer’s instructions for adhesives, coatings, cleaners, consumables, coolants, degreasers, fluxes, and metals.

NOISE can damage hearing.

Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.

� Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS

(EMF) can affect Implanted Medical

Devices.

� Wearers of Pacemakers and other Implanted Medical Devices should keep away.

� Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the device manufacturer before going near arc welding, spot welding, gouging, plasma arc cutting, or induction heating operations.

CYLINDERS can explode if damaged.

Compressed 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, mechanical 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.

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 du 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: par exemple, des restrictions d’accès pour les passants ou une évaluation individuelle des risques 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.

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.

GFCI Receptacles

GFCI receptacles protect the user from electric shock if a ground fault occurs in equipment connected to the receptacle. A ground fault occurs when electrical current takes the shortest path to ground (which could be through a person) rather than follow its intended safe path.

If a ground fault is detected, the GFCI Reset button pops out, and the circuit opens to disconnect power to the faulty equipment. A

GFCI receptacle does not protect against circuit overloads, short circuits, or shocks not related to ground faults. Reset and test

GFCI receptacle according to the following procedures.

A solid green LED indicates power to the

GFCI. A solid red LED indicates that the

GFCI has been tripped.

Resetting/Testing GFCI Receptacle

Test GFCI monthly.

If Red LED blinks, stop using GFCI receptacle and have a Factory Authorized Service Agent replace it.

Extension cords with bad insulation or of extended length can allow enough leakage current to trip the

GFCI circuit. Reset and test as follows.

Resetting GFCI Receptacles

If a GFCI fault occurs, stop engine and disconnect equipment from GFCI receptacle.

Check for damaged or wet tools, cords, plugs, etc. connected to the receptacle.

Wetstacking

SECTION 11 – RUN-IN PROCEDURE

NOTICE – Diesel engines in Miller equipment are meant to operate optimally at moderate to rated load. Using light or no load for extended periods of time may cause wetstacking or other engine damage. Do not idle engine longer than necessary.

11-1. Wetstacking

1

2

NOTICE – Do not perform run-in procedure at less than 20 volts weld output and do not exceed duty cycle or equipment damage may occur.

1 Welder/Generator

Run diesel engines near rated voltage and current during run-in period to properly seat piston rings and prevent wetstacking. See nameplate, rating label, or specifications section in this manual to find rated voltage and current.

NOTICE – Do not idle engine longer than necessary. Piston rings only seat correctly if engine runs at weld/power rpm, and the welder/generator is kept loaded during runin.

2 Engine Exhaust Pipe

Wetstacking is unburned fuel and oil in the exhaust pipe and occurs during run-in if the engine is run too long at light load or idle rpm.

If exhaust pipe is coated with a wet, black, tar-like substance, dry the engine using one of the following run-in procedures.

See the engine manual for additional engine run-in information.

AMPS 4.5

Hz 50/60

1 Resistive Load

A light bulb is a resistive load and requires a constant amount of power.

2 Non-Resistive Load

Equipment with a motor is a non-resistive load and requires approximately six times more power while starting the motor than

when running (see Section 12-8).

3 Rating Data

Rating shows volts and amperes, or watts required to run equipment.

Amperes x Volts = Watts

Example 1: If a drill uses 4.5 amperes at 115 volts, calculate its running power requirement in watts.

4.5 A x 115 V = 520 W

The load applied by the drill is 520 watts.

Example 2: If three 200 watt flood lamps are used with the drill from Example 1, add the individual loads to calculate total load.

(3 x 200W) + 520 W = 1120 W

The total load applied by the three flood lamps and drill is 1120 watts.

Have only qualified persons perform these connections according to all applicable codes and safety practices.

Properly install, ground, and operate this equipment according to its

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

Do not connect to any electrical distribution system normally supplied by utility power unless a proper transfer switch and grounding procedure are employed.

Customer-supplied equipment is required if generator will supply standby power during emergencies or power outages.

1 Utility Electrical Service

2 Transfer Switch (Double-Throw)

Switch transfers the electrical load from electric utility service to the generator.

Transfer load back to electric utility when service is restored.

Install correct switch (customer-supplied).

Switch rating must be same as or greater than the branch overcurrent protection.

3 Fused Disconnect Switch

Install correct switch (customer-supplied) if required by electrical code.

4 Welder/Generator Output

Generator output voltage and wiring must be consistent with regular (utility) system voltage and wiring.

Connect generator with temporary or permanent wiring suitable for the installation.

Turn off or unplug all equipment connected to generator before starting or stopping engine. When starting or stopping, the engine has low speed which causes low voltage and frequency.

5 Essential Loads

Generator output may not meet the electrical requirements of the premises. If generator does not produce enough output to meet all requirements, connect only essential

loads. See Section 12-4.

The exclusive remedies for warranty claims are, at

Miller’s option, either: (1) repair; or (2) replacement; or, if approved in writing by Miller, (3) the pre-approved 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 use).

CLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF

MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PARTIC-

ULAR PURPOSE, ARE EXCLUDED AND DIS-

This Limited Warranty provides specific legal rights, and other rights may be available, but may vary by province.
