FALLING EQUIPMENT can cause
serious personal injury and equipment
damage.
1. Use lifting eye to lift unit only, NOT running gear,
gas cylinders, or any other accessories.
2. Use equipment of adequate capacity to lift unit.
MAGNETIC FIELDS FROM HIGH
CURRENTS can affect pacemaker
operation.
1. Pacemaker wearers keep away from servicing
areas until consulting your doctor.
MOVING PARTS can cause injury.
1. Keep away from moving parts such as fans.
2. Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards closed
and securely in place.
MOVING PARTS can cause injury.
1. Keep away from moving parts.
2. Keep away from pinch points such as drive rolls.
OVERUSE can cause OVERHEATED
EQUIPMENT.
1. Allow cooling period.
2. Reduce current or reduce duty cycle before
starting to weld again.
3. Follow rated duty cycle.
READ INSTRUCTIONS.
1. Use MILLER Testing Booklet (Part No. 150 853)
when servicing this unit.
2. Consult the Owner’s Manual for welding safety
precautions.
3. Use only genuine MILLER replacement parts.

Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency
Electric And Magnetic Fields
The following is a quotation from the General Conclusions Section of
the U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Biological
Effects of Power Frequency Electric & Magnetic Fields – Background
Paper, 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
interpret 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 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.
