    Yeah, folks are buying them like crazy because cheaper is always better... right?

    I have a Miller mig and LOVE it. I plug it right into my 50A stick welder receptacle and go. Beautiful machine!
    And no, not that much more than Chinese crap.

    It is odd they mention a neutral, and 240 Volts, on only 3 wires, Very Odd
    If the only info mentions a neutral, and Neutral in not intact, it may not work.
    If it has 4 wires, 4 wires need to be hooked up. Verify 240 volts between 2 hots, and 120 between a hot and neutral, and hot and ground.

    Welder is finally working there was not problem with wiring, problem was with contact inside the trigger (made in China), so welder is using two hot (black & white) and ground like the first time I connected but when I pressed trigger there was no connection and that's way did't work. Thanks to everybody who tried to help me, Dejan
