Wire Feed
Arc Welder
BUILT TO LAST
This Campbell Hausfeld wire feed welder
is designed to be used on standard 230
volt single phase current. The welder is

welding conditions. Internal components
are thermostatically protected.
This welder is 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 .030" (.8 mm) to .045” (1.2 mm)
diameter wire. A starter spool of .035”
(.9 mm) flux core wire and a .035” tip
are included.
