Stable arc with improved performance on thin gauge material.

Provides positive feed with adjustable tension. Easy access for threading wire.

Provides a broader operating window for each wire, with quick and easy adjustment for different thicknesses and joints.

Eases use and excellent safety feature which makes wire electrically “cold” until trigger is pulled.

Access makes it quick and easy to change polarity for solid or tubular wire. Includes convenient storage holes for
spare tips.

Makes it easy to change from one wire size to another. One knurled groove and one smooth groove for
.030–.035 in. (0.8 – 0.9 mm) wire.

Makes controls quickly visible and accessible.

Protects unit against current overload.

Protects power transformer to ensure reliability.

Protects wire feed system from overload, no fuses to change or circuit breaker buttons to reset.

Five-year warranty on transformers, three years on electronics (drive motors, rectifiers) and one year on guns.

uilt with Hobart quality and durability, the

Handler 140 is a wire welding package with
industrial performance capable of operating on
standard 115/120 volt, 20 amp home circuits.
The broad output range of 25 – 140 amps allows
you to weld 24 gauge up to 1/4 inch steel.

The Handler 140 is capable of running the following
wires: .023 – .035 in. (0.6 –0.9 mm) mild steel
or stainless steel, .030 – .035 in. (0.8 –0.9 mm)
flux-cored, and .030 in. (0.8 mm) aluminum. Four
output voltage settings with wire feed tracking
make the unit easy to set and adjust for different
materials and thicknesses.

CFH

Settings are approximate. Adjust as required. Thicker materials can be
welded using proper technique, joint preperation and multiple passes.

Recommended Voltage and Wire Speed Settings for thickness of metal being welded.
Number on left of slash is Voltage Setting/Number on right of slash is Wire Feed Setting.

*Multiple passes required. **Aluminum wire is soft so feedability is not as good. Make sure that hub tension is not too tight and keep the torch as straight as possible. A “push angle” for the torch is recommended.

Match feed roll groove to diameter of wire being used.
Set tension knob setting to 3 at start.
Adjust tension per instructions in the manual.

CAUTION! Do not change voltage switch
position while welding. See owners manual
for more information.

Wire speed listed is a starting value only. Wire speed setting can be
fine-tuned while welding. Wire speed also depends on other variables
such as stick out, travel speed, weld angle, cleanliness of metal, etc.
