Wire Feed
Arc Welder
BUILT TO LAST
This Campbell Hausfeld wire feed welder
is designed to be used on standard 230
volt single phase current. The welder is
equipped with an infinite wire speed
control to accurately select the proper
wire feed rate needed for various
welding conditions. Internal components
are thermostatically protected.
This welder is designed for use with flux
core arc welding (gasless) or gas metal
arc welding (MIG) process. As delivered
from the factory, this welder can weld
with .030" (.8 mm) to .045” (1.2 mm)
diameter wire. A starter spool of .035”
(.9 mm) flux core wire and a .035” tip
are included.
Unpacking
Some welder components may be
found in the wire feed compartment.
When unpacking, inspect carefully for
any damage that may have occurred
during transit. Report any damaged or
missing items by calling (800) 746-5641.
