Description
These Campbell Hausfeld wire feed welders are designed to be used on standard 120V
(WG3080 and 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 in. (0.8mm) diameter flux core wire. A starter spool of .030 in.
(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.
