Description

These Campbell Hausfeld wire feed welders are designed to be used on standard 120V (WG3080 & WG3090) or 230V (WG4130) outlet. The welder is 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 Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) or the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process. As delivered from the factory, this welder can weld with .030" (0.8mm) diameter flux core wire. A starter spool of .030" (0.8 mm) flux cored wire is included.

To use the GMAW process with the WG3090 and WG4130, it is necessary to purchase shielding gas and MIG wire only. With the WG3080, a regulator /hose kit must be purchased in addition to the shielding gas and MIG wire.

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. Report any missing or

damaged items by calling 1-800-746-5641.
