Description
This line of Campbell Hausfeld wire feed
welders is designed to be used on
standard 115V household current. The
welders are 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 Core Arc Welding (FCAW)
or the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW)
process. As delivered from the factory,
this welder can weld with .024" (.6mm)
to .035" (.9mm) diameter wire in MIG
and .030" (.8mm) to .035" (.9mm)
diameter wire in flux core. A starter
spool of .035" (.9mm) flux core wire is
included.

This will blow out dust or dirt that may have accumulated around valve seat. 2. Install regulator onto cylinder valve. Tighten stem nut securely to gas valve.
  • Page 7: Maintenance

    The MIG process uses inert gas to shield the weld while molten. Model WG2040, WG2044, WG2045, WG3000 3. Inspect the condition of the gun tip and nozzle. Remove any weld slag. Replace gun tip or nozzle if damaged.
  • Page 8 Wire Feed Arc Welder Welding Guidelines Arc Welding Basics Five basic techniques affect weld quality. These are: wire selection, heat setting, weld angle, wire speed, and travel speed. An understanding of these techniques is necessary for effective welds. HEAT SETTING The correct heat involves the adjustment of the welding machine to the required setting.
  • Page 9: Welding Positions

    Overhead welding is the least desirable position as it is the most difficult and dangerous. Heat setting and wire Model WG2040, WG2044, WG2045, WG3000 (Continued) selection will vary depending upon the position. All work should be performed in the flat position if possible.
