the machine.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
•
Do not touch electrically live parts or
electrode with skin or wet clothing.
Insulate yourself from work and ground.
•
Always wear dry insulating gloves.
FUMES AND GASES can be danger-
ous.
•
Keep your head out of fumes.
•
Use ventilation or exhaust to remove
fumes from breathing zone.
WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explo-
sion.
•
Keep flammable material away.
•
Do not weld on containers that have held
combustibles.
ARC RAYS can burn.
•
Wear eye, ear, and body protection.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The POWER MIG
®
360MP is a complete, semiautomatic multi-
process DC arc welding machine offering CV and CC DC welding
built to meet NEMA specifications. The standard machine is
equipped to weld CC-Stick, CC-GTAW, CV-FCAW, and synergic
and
non-synergic CV-GMAW.

Other features include a 7” Digital User Interface with synergic
controls and memory capability, a 2” (51mm) O.D. wire reel
spindle with adjustable brake, integral gas cylinder mounting
undercarriage, an adjustable CO2 or Argon blend flow regulator
with cylinder pressure guage and inlet hose, a 15 ft. (4.6m)
Magnum PRO Curve 300 gun and cable, a 10 ft. (3.1m) power
cable and NEMA R Type 6-50N three prong plug and a 10 ft.
(3.1m) work cable and clamp.
The POWER MIG
®
360MP features built in timer functions that
provide variable burnback control, a spot function, a selectable
4-step trigger interlock, and an adjustable ‘Run-In’ for wire
starting optimization. ARCFX™ technology comes standard and
provides a way tp graphically communicate instant feedback of
how the end user settings affect the weld outcome when adjusting
wire feed speed and voltage.
WELDING CAPABILITY
The POWER MIG
®
360MP is rated at 350 amps @ 31.5 volts, at a
40% duty cycle based on a ten minute cycle time for GMAW
processes. It is capable of higher duty cycles at lower output
currents and capable of up to 360 Amps at lower duty cycles.
LIMITATIONS
POWER MIG
®
360MP WILL NOT operate satisfactorily if powered
with a portable or in-plant generating system.
SETTING THE POWER MIG
®
360 MACHINE TO WELD
Power up the machine using the switch on the front of the
machine (See Item 8 of Figure B.1).
Allow machine to go through its booting stage. This will take
approximately 20 seconds.
The machine will take you to the Home Screen and display the
settings that were last input by the user.
To select a new welding process, press the middle Select Process
button
By turning the right knob, select the desired welding process from
the list. Press the right knob to make selection.
