BUILT TO LAST

Description

This Campbell Hausfeld welder is a 70
amp, single phase 115 volt input, wire
feed arc welding machine. This unit 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

process. As delivered from the factory,
this welder can weld with .030” (.8 mm)
or .035” (.9 mm) diameter flux-cored
wire. A starter spool of .035” (.9 mm)
wire is included.

Unpacking

All welding accessories for the
welder are inside the wire feed
compartment on side of welder.

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.
