Arc Welder
BUILT TO LAST
TM
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.
These welders are 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 .024” (.6 mm) to .035”
(.9 mm) diameter wire. A starter spool
of .035” (.9 mm) flux-cored 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.
Circuit Requirements
This equipment
requires a dedi-
cated 115 volt circuit. Refer to the
following chart for the correct circuit
breaker or fuse rating. Do not run
other appliances, lights, or tools on
this circuit while operating this
equipment. Extension cords are not
recommended. Blown fuses and tripped
circuit breakers can result from failure
to comply with this recommendation.

piece.
2. Wire Feed Gun with .035 tip
3. Power Cord - plug into 115 volt
outlet.
4. On/Off Switch
