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

be
the
best
you
could
buy.
Today,
the
people
that
build
and sell Miller
products
continue
the
tradition.
Theyre just
as
conmiitted
to
providing
equipment

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

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.

If
inside,
ventilate the
area
and/or
use
exhaust at
the
arc
to
remove
welding
fumes
and
gases.

If
ventilation
is
poor,
use
an
approved
air-supplied
respirator.

Read
the
Material
Safety
Data
Sheets
(MSDSs)
and
the
manufacturers instructions for
metals, consumables,
coatings,
cleaners,
and
degreasers.

Work in
a
confined
space
only
if
it is
well
ventilated,
or
while
wearing
an
air-supplied
respirator.
Always
have
a
trained
watch-
person
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
cart
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 if
necessary,
while
wearing
an
air-supplied respirator.
The
coatings
and
any
metals
containing
these
elements
can
give
oft
toxic
fumes
if

ARC RAYS
can
burn
eyes
and
skin
Arc
rays
from
the
welding
process
produce
intense
visible
and invisible
(ultraviolet
and
infrared)
rays
that
can
bum
eyes
and skin.
Sparks
fly
oft from
the
weld.

Wear
a
welding
helmet
fitted
with
a
proper
shade
of filter
to
protect
your
face
and
eyes
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 and
glare;
wam
others
not
to
watch
the
arc.

Wear
protective
clothing
made
from
durable,
flame-resistant
matenal
(leather
and
wool)
and
foot
protection.
WELDING
can
causefireorexplosion.
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.
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.

Protect
yourself
and others from
flying
sparks
and
hot
metal.

Do
not
weld
where
flying
sparks
can
strike flammable material.

Remove
all
flammables
within 35 ft
(10.7
m)
of
the
welding
arc.
If
this is
not
possible,
tightly
cover
them
with
approved
covers.

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
weld
on
closed containers such
as
tanks, drums,
or
pipes,
unless
they
are
properly prepared
according
to
AWS
F4.i
(see
Safety Standards).

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
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 oil-free
protective
garments
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.
FLYING METALcan
injure
eyes.

Welding, chipping,
wire
brushing,
and
grinding
cause
sparks
and
flying
metal. As
welds
cool,
they
can
throw
oft
slag.

Wear
approved
safety
glasses
with
side
shields
even
under
your
welding
helmet.

high.
CYLINDERS
can
explode
if
damaged.
Shielding
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,
slag,

EMF Information
Considerations
About
Welding
And The
Effects
Of
Low
Frequency
Electric
And
Magnetic
Fields
The
following
is
a
quotation
from

General Conclusions Section of
the U.S.
Congress,

of
Technology
Assessment,

Effects of

Background
Pape,
OTA-BP-E-53
(Washington,
DC:
U.S. Government
Printing
Office,
May
1989):.
. .
there is
now
a
very
large
volume
of scientific
findings
based
on
experiments
at
the cellular
level
and from studies
with animals and
people
which
clearly
establish that low
frequency
magnetic
fields
can
interact
with,
and
produce
changes
in,
biological
systems.
While
most
of this work
is of
very
high
quality,
the
results
are
complex.
Current
scientific
understanding
does
not
yet
allow
us
to
in
terpret
the
evidence
in
a
single
coherent framework.
Even
more
frustrating,
it
does
not
yet
allow
us
to
draw
definite conclusions
about
questions
of
possible
risk
or
to
offer
clear
science-based
advice
on
strategies
to
minimize
or
avoid
potential
risks.
To
reduce
magnetic
fields
in
the
workplace,
use
the
following
procedures:
1.
Keep
cables close
together by twisting
or
taping
them.
2.
Arrange
cables
to
one
side and
away
from
the
operator.
3. Do
not
coil
or
drape
cables
around the
body.
4.
Keep
welding
power
source
and cables
as
far
away
from
opera
tor
as
practical.
5.
Connect
work
clamp
to
workpiece
as
close
to
the weld
as
possible.
About Pacemakers:
The
above
procedures
are
also recommended
for
pacemaker
wearers.
Consult
your
doctor
for
complete
information.
