SPECIAL SITUATIONS
DO NOT WELD OR CUT containers or materials which previously
had been in contact with hazardous substances unless they are
properly cleaned. This is extremely dangerous.
DO NOT WELD OR CUT painted or plated parts unless special
precautions with ventilation have been taken. They can release
highly toxic fumes or gases.
Additional precautionary measures
PROTECT compressed gas cylinders from excessive heat,
mechanical shocks, and arcs; fasten cylinders so they cannot fall.
BE SURE cylinders are never grounded or part of an
electrical circuit.
REMOVE all potential fire hazards from welding area.
ALWAYS HAVE FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT READY FOR
IMMEDIATE USE AND KNOW HOW TO USE IT.

OUTPUT POLARITY CONNECTIONS
The welder, as shipped from the factory, is connected for
electrode positive (+) polarity. This is the normal polarity for
GMAW.
If negative (–) polarity is required, interchange the connection of
the two cables located in the wire drive compartment near the
front panel. The electrode cable, which is attached to the wire
drive, is to be connected to the negative (–) labeled terminal and
the work lead, which is attached to the work clamp, is to be

1. Before starting the installation, check with the local power
company if there is any question about whether your power
supply is adequate for the voltage, amperes, phase, and
frequency specified on the welder rating plate. Also be sure the
planned installation will meet the U.S. National Electrical Code
and local code requirements. This welder may be operated from
a single phase source or from two lines of a three phase source.
2. POWER MIG® 360MP has multiple input voltages specified on
the nameplate. The unit is shipped connected for the 230
voltage. If the welder is to be operated on 208 voltage, it must
be reconnected according to the instructions in Figure A.1. For
higher voltage (460 & 575) reconnect per Figure A.1. Install
appropriate input cable per local and national electrical code.

WARNING
Be sure to keep your face away from the valve outlet when
“cracking” the valve.
4. Attach the flow regulator to the cylinder valve and tighten the
union nut(s) securely with a wrench.
NOTE: If connecting to 100% CO2 cylinder, the regulator
adapter provided must be installed between the regulator and
cylinder valve.
5. Attach one end of the inlet gas hose to the outlet fitting of the
flow regulator, the other end to the POWER MIG® 360MP rear
fitting marked “Feeder” and tighten the union nuts securely
with a wrench.
6. Before opening the cylinder valve, turn the regulator adjusting

Pulsed MIG is an advanced form of welding that takes the best of
all the other forms of transfer while minimizing or eliminating their
disadvantages. Unlike short circuit, pulsed MIG does not create

pulsed MIG are not limited as they are with globular or spray and

Power Mode®
The Power Mode® process was developed by Lincoln to maintain
a stable and smooth arc at low procedure settings which are
needed to weld thin metal without pop-outs or burning-through.
For Aluminum welding, it provides excellent control and the ability
to maintain constant arc length. This results in improved welding
performance in two primary types of applications.
• Short Arc MIG at low procedure settings.
• Aluminum MIG welding.
Power Mode® is a method of high speed regulation of the output
power whenever an arc is established. It provides a fast response
to changes in the arc. The higher the Power Mode® Setting, the
longer the arc. If a welding procedure is not established, the best
way to determine the Power Mode® Setting is by experimentation
until the desired output result is established.
In the Power Mode® two variables need to be set:
• Wire Feed Speed
• Power Mode® Trim
Setting up a Power Mode® procedure is similar to setting a CV
MIG procedure. Select a shielding gas appropriate for a short arc
process.
• For steel, use 75/25 Ar/CO2 shield gas.
• For Stainless, select a Helium/Argon/CO2 blend.
• For Aluminum, use 100% Ar.
Start by setting the wire feed speed based upon material
thickness and appropriate travel speed. Then adjust the Trim knob
as follows.
• For steel, listen for the traditional “frying egg” sound of a
good short-arc MIG procedure to know you have the process
set correctly.
• For aluminum, simply adjust the Trim knob until the desired
arc length is obtained.
Note: Trim display is simply a relative number and DOES NOT
correspond to voltage.

AVOIDING WIRE FEEDING PROBLEMS

Wire feeding problems can be avoided by observing the following
gun handling procedures:
• Do not kink or pull cable around sharp corners.
• Keep the gun cable as straight as possible when welding or
loading electrode through cable.
• Do not allow dolly wheels or trucks to run over cables.
• Keep cable clean by following maintenance instructions.
• Use only clean, rust-free electrode. The Lincoln electrodes
have proper surface lubrication.
• Replace contact tip when the arc starts to become unstable or
the contact tip end is fused or deformed.
• Keep wire reel spindle brake tension to minimum required to
prevent excess reel over-travel which may cause wire "loop-
offs" from coil.
• Use proper drive rolls and wire drive idle roll pressure for wire
size and type being used.
FAN CONTROL
The fan is designed to come on automatically when a weld arc is
established. The fan will also stay on when the machine’s welding
and feeding are disabled during thermostatic over temperature
protection. (See Welding Thermal Overload Protection)
INPUT LINE VOLTAGE PROTECTION

High Line Voltage — If the line voltage exceeds 110% of rated
input voltage, the output will be reduced to the lower level to
protect voltage rating of the capacitor bank.
Low Line Voltage — You may not be able to get maximum output
from the machine if the line voltage is less than rated input. The
unit will continue to weld, but the output may be less than what is
set.
WIRE FEED OVERLOAD PROTECTION

The POWER MIG® 360MP has solid state overload protection of
the wire drive motor. If the motor becomes overloaded, the
protection circuitry turns off the wire feed speed weld output and
gas solenoid. Check for proper size tip, liner, and drive rolls, for
any obstructions or bends in the gun cable, and any other factors
that would impede the wire feeding.
To resume welding, simply pull the trigger. There is no circuit
breaker to reset, as the protection is done with reliable solid state
electronics.
WELDING THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION

The POWER MIG® 360MP has built-in protective thermostats that
respond to excessive temperature. They open the wire feed and
welder output circuits if the machine exceeds the maximum safe
operating temperature because of a frequent overload, or high
ambient temperature plus overload. The thermostats automatically
reset when the temperature reaches a safe operating level and
welding and feeding are allowed again, when gun is retriggered.

LINER REMOVAL, INSTALLATION AND TRIMMING

(See Figure D.1)
NOTE: The variation in cable lengths prevents the interchange-
ability of liners between guns. Once a liner has been cut for a
particular gun, it should not be installed in another gun unless it
can meet the liner cutoff length requirement. Liners are shipped
with the jacket of the liner extended the proper amount.
1. Remove the gas nozzle.
2. Remove the gas diffuser from the gun tube.
3. Lay gun and cable out straight on a flat surface. Loosen set
screw of the connector on the back end of the gun.
4. Insert the untrimmed Liner into the back end of the gun.
5. Seat Liner bushing into back of gun. Secure Liner by
tightening set screw. Do not install the gas diffuser at this
time.
6. Lay the cable straight and trim Liner to 9/16”. Remove burrs.
7. Install insulator and secure the gas diffuser into the tube.
