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 Working as hard as you do
− every power source from
tradition. They’re just as committed to providing equipment and service Miller is backed by the most
that meets the high standards of quality and value established in 1929. hassle-free warranty in the
business.
This Owner’s Manual is designed to help you get the most out of your
Miller products. Please take time to read the Safety precautions. They will
help you protect yourself against potential hazards on the worksite. We’ve
made installation and operation quick and easy. With Miller you can
count on years of reliable service with proper maintenance. And if for
some reason the unit needs repair, there’s a Troubleshooting section that
will help you figure out what the problem is. The parts list will then help
you to decide which exact part you may need to fix the problem.
Warranty and service information for your particular model are also
provided.

Miller Electric manufactures a full line of

welders and welding related equipment. For
information on other quality Miller products, contact your local Miller
distributor to receive the latest full line catalog or individual catalog sheets.

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.
Wire feeders and ancillary equipment (such as torches, liquid cooling systems and arc striking and stabilizing devices) as part of the welding
circuit may not be a major contributor to the EMF. See the Owner’s Manuals for all components of the welding circuit for additional EMF exposure
information.

 The EMF assessment on this equipment was conducted at 0.5 meter.

 At a distance of 1 meter the EMF exposure values were less than 20% of the permissible values.

Trouble Remedy

Coolant system does not work. Be sure input power cord is plugged in to energized receptacle.

Check circuit breakers on cooler and welding power source, and reset if necessary.

Motor overheated. Unit starts running when motor has cooled.

Have Factory Authorized Service Agent check Power switch, capacitor, and motor.

Decreased or no coolant flow. Add coolant.

Check for clogged or damaged hoses.

Check in-line filter, clean if require.
