ADDITIONAL CABLES
The circle welders are supplied with the following cables:
1. CWO-3139 50' (15 m) power cable that connects the power source to the cable connector on the top
gear of the machine.
2. CWO-3019 50' (15 m) weld cable that connects the lead coming out of the top of the machine using
the quick connect connector to your power supply.
3. CWO-9406 50' (15 m) gas shielding hose that connects the gas fitting on the top of the shaft to your
shielding gas supply. MIG models, only.
WIRE SPEED AND VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
The wire speed control, on the Control Panel, is calibrated directly in inches per minute. Set the voltage
using the control on the power source.
WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
The CWP-5 Racking System CBP-1670 and the Small Horizontal Racker
CWO-1685 are equipped with adjustable wheels. Always check these
components for proper wheel adjustment before using the machine. The
wheels need adjustment if you can cock or wiggle the components out of
alignment. The wheels should be snug but not prohibit movement along the
path of travel. The wheels with the hex stand offs are adjustable, as shown
in Figure 1. To adjust the wheels, loosen the hex bolt (A) until the adjustable
bushing (B) can be rotated. Correct the wheel alignment by rotating the
adjustable bushing (B). Once adjusted, hold the adjustable bushing (B) while
tightening the hex bolt (A). Recheck alignment.

SETUP AND OPERATION
POWER SOURCE
Use only constant voltage type power sources with this circle welder machine. If using a multiple process
power source, be sure that it is set for constant voltage output as per the instructions in the manual for
the power source. Set the power source polarity switch or properly connect the electrodes and work leads
for the correct electrode polarity.
FIXTURING
All circle welders have to be fixtured in some manner from the top of the shaft. This may be achieved in
one of the following: column & boom, manipulator or carriage & monorail.
GUNS AND CABLES
All circle welders come equipped with a gun and cable assembly. It is our recommendation that at least
once a week the liner be taken out of the cable and soaked overnight in a solvent solution. To keep the
wire moving it is also recommended that a felt clip be saturated with a product like Ferro Slick and fed
thru the incoming tube of the wire feeder at least once a day.
