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.
