HIGH FREQUENCY WARNINGS
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS ARE REQUIRED WHEN USING PLASMA,
TIG OR ANY WELDING PROCESS THAT USES HIGH FREQUENCY
TO STRIKE AN ARC.
WARNING: HIGH FREQUENCY CAN EFFECT MACHINE
OPERATION AND THEREFORE, WELD QUALITY.
Read the precautions below before installing and using the equipment.
PRECAUTIONS:
1) Some plasma or welding cables are strong sources of high frequency interference.
NEVER lay a plasma or welding cable across the controls of the machine.
2) Always physically separate the plasma or welding cable leads from the machine
cables. For example, the plasma or welding cable leads should NEVER be bundled
with a pendant cable or the machine power cord. Maximize the separation between
any machine cables and the plasma or welding cables.
3) Strictly follow the grounding procedures specied for the plasma or welding unit.
NOTE: Some plasma and welding units produce exceptionally large amounts of
high frequency noise. They may require a grounding rod be driven into the earth within
six feet (2 meters) of the plasma or welding unit to become compatible with an
automatic cutting or welding process.
4) If the high frequency is produced using a spark gap, adjust the points so the gap is as
small as possible. The larger the gap, the higher the voltage and the higher the interference.
5) Some plasma or welding units will inject high frequency interference into the AC power
line. Use separate power line branches whenever possible to power the plasma or welding source and the machine. Do not plug them into the same outlet box.
6) High frequency noise may enter the machine through the plasma or welding supply
remote contactor leads. Some plasma and welding sources can produce noise spikes
of up to several thousand volts. These sources are not compatible with automated
cutting and welding equipment. It is recommended that the remote contactor leads
on these plasma or welding sources not be connected to the machine. An alternate
solution is to purchase a separate remote contactor isolation box.

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.
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
through the incoming tube of the wire feeder at least once a day.

SETUP AND OPERATION CONT'D.
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-3040 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 tting on the top of the shaft to
your shielding gas supply.
Cam
WIRE SPEED AND VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
The wire speed control on the front of the CWO-3332 Wire Feed
Control box has a dial that is calibrated directly in inches per minute.
Set the voltage using the control on the power source.
RISE AND FALL OF THE CAM
All circle welders are equipped with a rise and fall cam assembly.
The cam assembly must be aligned before any other settings can be
made. To align the cam rotate the machine so the horizontal rack is
parallel to the pipe, then adjust the gun holder so it is perpendicular
to the horizontal rack. Position torch tip to top dead center of joint.
Loosen the set screws in the brass block on the cam, and rotate
the cam to the vertical position as shown. Refasten set screws.
CAM SETTING
The cam setting is equal to distance “B” subtracted from distance “A”.
B
Example:
Let A=3 and B=2
3-2=1
The cam setting is 1.

WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
The CW-7 Racking System CWO-1665 and the Large Vertical Racker CWO1690 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. 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.

entitled CWO-3332 Wire Feeder Control for descriptions of the various welding parameters that are available,
as well as CWO-6210 Rotation Control for descriptions of the various speed and directional capabilities.
MAKING A WELD
1. Position the gun to start position using the CWO-1665 Racking System.
2. Connect the ground cable to the workpiece. The ground cable must make good electrical
contact with the work.
3. Position the electrode in the joint. The end of the electrode may be lightly touching the work.
4. With manual/auto switch in the “OFF” position, set rotation direction and speed.
5. Weld process and rotation are both started by throwing the manual/auto switch to auto.
6. Weld process and rotation are stopped by throwing the manual/auto switch to “OFF”.
WARNING: When using an open arc process, it is necessary to use correct eye head and
body protection.

CWO-3332 WIRE FEEDER CONTROLS
WIRE FEED SPEED
WIRE DIRECTION
PREFLOW
PURGE - UP
COLD INCH - DOWN
MANUAL / AUTOMATIC
POSTFLOW
BURNBACK
WIRE FEED SPEED CONTROL:
This control sets the feed speed of the wire feeder. Turn the knob to the left for slower speeds and to the
right for higher speeds. The control is calibrated. The nameplate shows the wire speed for the given setting
of the control.
WIRE DIRECTION:
Controls the direction the wire is being fed thru the feeder. Up to return wire to the spool. Down to feed
the wire to the gun.
MANUAL / AUTOMATIC:
The manual position allows the operator to rotate the machine without welding to check the wire
placement as well as the cam setting. The auto side will start the entire weld operation based on the
operators settings, including machine rotation.
PREFLOW CONTROL:
This control, provides ow of shielding gas to the work before the arc is established. The gas solenoid
valve is energized immediately when the gun trigger is closed, but the time delay before the wire feeder
is energized is adjustable from 0 to 1.5 seconds. Turn the knob to the left for shorter delays and to the
right for longer delays.
POSTFLOW CONTROL:
This control provides ow of shielding gas to the work after welding has stopped. Delay for the gas
solenoid valve shutoff is adjustable from .5 to 4.5 seconds. Turn the knob to the left for shorter delays
and to the right for longer delays.
PURGE - UP / COLD INCH - DOWN SWITCH:
This control provides control of some wire feeder functions without energizing the welding power source.
The momentary up position energizes the gas solenoid but not the wire feeder or welding power source.
The momentary down position energizes the wire feeder but not the gas solenoid or the welding power
source.
BURNBACK CONTROL:
This control provides a precise time delay that allows the wire to be burned off at the end of the weld.
This is useful for those applications where higher speed, ne wire feeding is used and there is a tendency
for the electrode to overrun at the end of the weld and cause “sticking” in the crater. The delay is
adjustable for optimum burnback depending on wire size, process, procedure, etc.
