Wire Feed Arc Welder
*NOTE:
Campbell Hausfeld regulator
WT600100AV is factory preset at 30 cfh.
No adjustment is necessary. Also, a pop-
out indicator in the end of the regulator
shows the amount of gas left in the
cylinder. When not extended, there is
approximately 10 minutes of welding
left before the cylinder is empty.
7. Remember to close the gas valve
when finished welding.
1. Be sure to read,
understand, and comply
with all precautions in
the General Safety
Information section. Be
sure to read the entire section
entitled Welding Guidelines prior to
using this equipment.
2. Verify welder is off.
3. Verify that the surfaces of metals to
be joined are free from dirt, rust,
paint, oil, scale or other contam-
inants. These contaminants make
welding difficult and cause poor
welds.
All persons operating this
equipment or in the area
while equipment is in use
must wear protective welding gear
including: eye protection with proper
shade, flame resistant clothing, leather
welding gloves, and full foot
protection.
WHETHER OR
NOT THE TRIGGER
IS PULLED, the WG3000 welding
wire is LIVE whenever the welder
is turned ON.
If heating, welding, or
cutting materials that are
galvanized, zinc plated, lead,
or cadmium plated refer to the General
Safety Information Section for
instructions. Extremely toxic fumes are
created when these metals are heated.
4. Connect the work clamp to the
work piece or workbench (if metal).
Make sure the contact is secure.
Avoid surfaces with paint, varnish,
corrosion, or non-metallic materials.
5. Position the Heat Selector on the
front panel to the desired setting.
See application decal inside door of
wire feed compartment for proper
heat settings.
NOTE:
These settings are general
guidelines only. Heat setting may vary
according to welding conditions and
materials.
6. Rotate the Wire Speed Control to
setting number 5 to start with, then
adjust as needed after test weld.
7. Plug the input cord into a proper
voltage receptacle with proper
circuit capacity (See Chart under
circuit requirements on page 1).
8. Switch the welder ON.
9. Verify that the wire is extended
1/4” from the contact tip. If not,
squeeze the trigger to feed
additional wire, release the trigger,
and cut wire to proper length.
10. Position the wire feed gun near the
work piece, lower the welding
helmet by nodding the head, or
position the hand shield, and
squeeze the gun trigger. Adjust heat
setting and wire speed as needed.
11. When finished welding, turn welder
off and store properly.
Disconnect power
supply and turn
machine off before inspecting or
servicing any components. Keep the
wire compartment cover closed at all
times unless the wire needs
replacement.
Before every use:
1. Check condition of weld cables and
immediately repair or replace any
cables with damaged insulation.
2. Check condition of power cord and
immediately repair or replace any
cord if damaged.
3. Inspect the condition of the gun tip
and nozzle. Remove any weld slag.
Replace gun tip or nozzle if
damaged.
Do not operate this
welding machine
with cracked or missing insulation on
welding cables, wire feed gun, or
power cord.
Every 3 months:
1. Replace any unreadable safety
labels on the welder.
2. Use compressed air to blow all dust
and lint from the ventilation
openings.
3. Clean the wire groove on the drive
roll. Remove wire from the feed
mechanism, remove screws from the
drive roll housing. Use a small wire
brush to clean the drive roll. Replace
if worn or damaged.
Consumer and Wear Parts
The following parts require routine
maintenance:
• Wire feed drive roller
• Gun liner - replace if worn
• Nozzle/contact tips
• Wire - this welder will accept either
4” or 8” diameter spools. Welding wire
is susceptible to moisture and oxidizes
over time, so it is important to select a
spool size that will be used within
approximately 6 months. For mild steel
welding, AWS ER70S6 solid wire or
AWS E71T-GS flux-core wire is
recommended.
