What to do if the arc goes out while cutting with Miller Electric Welding System?
- T
  Thomas GarciaAug 13, 2025
  If the arc goes out while cutting with your Miller Electric Welding System, ensure the work clamp is securely attached to a clean, paint-free, rust-free workpiece. Maintain a constant travel speed when cutting thin material. Make sure the drag shield is on the workpiece, or the extended tip is 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) to 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) from the workpiece while cutting. Check that the compressed air is clean, dry, and oil-free, using filter kit 300491 or 228926 if needed. Also, check the retaining cup, ensuring it's only hand-tightened and clean or replace worn consumables as necessary.

What does it mean when the Cup status light flashes twice on my Miller Electric Spectrum 875 Auto-Line Welding System?
- N
  nicholsjeremySep 1, 2025
  If the Cup status light on your Miller Electric Welding System flashes at a rate of two quick cycles followed by a one-second pause, it indicates that no pilot arc was established, and the power source failed to maintain it. Try using a different set of torch consumables (tip and electrode), and check for input pressure between 90-120 PSI.

What does it mean when the Cup status light flashes three times on my Miller Electric Welding System?
- R
  Reginald CannonSep 5, 2025
  If the Cup status light on your Miller Electric Welding System flashes at a rate of three quick cycles followed by a one-second pause, it means the power source detected that the tip and electrode failed to separate when the gas valve turned on. Check that the cup is not too tight (finger tight only). Verify you are using the correct torch consumables and check for gas flow through the torch head.

  johnsonkevinSep 9, 2025
  If you're experiencing difficulty establishing an arc or have no pilot arc with your Miller Electric Welding System, clean or replace worn consumables. Check for a damaged torch or torch cable. Verify the position of the cut/gouge switch, ensuring it matches the consumables you are using. Also, check the retaining cup, tightening it by hand only.
