Shielded Metal

Arc Welder

BUILT TO LAST

Description

This Campbell Hausfeld electric arc welding machine runs on 230 volt, single phase input power. This welder is equipped with infinite amperage control to accurately select the proper current needed for various welding conditions. Internal components are thermostatically protected.

This welding system is designed for use with the Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) process. As delivered from the factory, this welder can weld with up to 5/32" diameter electrodes.

Unpacking

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.
