Description

This line of Campbell Hausfeld wire feed welders is designed to be used on standard 115V household current. The welders are equipped with infinite wire speed control to accurately select the proper wire feed rate needed for various welding conditions. Internal components are thermostatically protected.

This welding system is designed for use with the Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW) or the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process. As delivered from the factory, this welder can weld with .024” (.6mm) to .035” (.9mm) diameter wire in MIG and .030” (.8mm) to .035” (.9mm) diameter wire in flux core. A starter spool of .035” (.9mm) flux core wire is included.

Unpacking

Welding accessories for the welder are packed inside the wire feed

compartment. When unpacking, inspect carefully for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Make sure any loose fittings and screws, etc. are tightened before putting unit into service.

Report any missing or damaged items by calling 1-800-746-5641.
