Hot parts can burn • Do not touch hot parts with bare hand or skin. • Ensure equipment is cooled down before perform any work. • If touching hot parts is needed, use proper tools and/or wear heavy, insulated welding gloves and clothing to prevent burns.
1- GENERAL REMARKS This series of power sources apply IGBT soft switch inverter technology. Its internal control system applies digital signal processor which ensures quick response to any change during the welding process so as to achieve precise control of welding process and ensure optimal welding results.
1-4 Duty cycle Duty cycle is percentage of 10 minutes that a machine can weld at rated load without overheating. If overheats, thermostat(s) will open, output stops. Wait for fifteen minutes for the machine to cool down. Reduce amperage or duty cycle before welding.
2-VERSIONS BRIEFS Professional welding of special materials requires special welding parameters. Different models of the power sources are matched to different welding. ● POWER MIG 3500/5000 MIG-M series is designed in accordance with the industrial standard. It has constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC) characteristics, and has five different welding process: CO2/MAG, STICK, TIG, GOUGING, FCAW.
3-4 Welding cables instruction When welding, please pay attention to the followings: a. The welding cables should be kept as short as possible; b. If extended cable is used, please do as shown in Fig. 3-4-1. Wrong Coil the excess ground cable and welding cable in same direction respectively.
4-POWER MIG 3500/5000 4-1 System components POWER MIG 3500/5000 can be equipped with many different accessories and can be used in different special sites with different configurations. Fig. 4-1-1: System components 4-2 Basic equipments for welding Only be equipped with the necessary accessories, can the power source MIG-M operate well. The following is the needed accessories list.
4-3 Control panel The functions on the control panels are all arranged in a very logical way. The various modes and parameters needed for welding are easy to select by pressing the appropriate button; parameters are easy to be adjusted by rotating encoder. Synergic adjustment makes the complicated operation much easier.

During welding, display the actual welding current value. 4.Power indicator Show whether the welding machine is power on or not. 5.Overheat protection indicator During normal welding, this indicator is off; Lights up when the power source overheats and machine will automatically stop welding. Once the power source cools down,this light will go OFF and everything will be back to normal.
- Stick: to adjust the arc force current value; - TIG/Gouging: inactive. 9.Crater filler current/welding current control knob - In 4-step mode under CO2/MAG, it is used to adjust the preset crater filler current. Important! The digital meter does not display the preset crater filler current value when presetting. When comes into the actual crater filler status, it will display the actual crater filler current value.
Please refer to the nameplate for the technical parameters of the welding machine. 6.Power supply socket for gas heater (AV36V) It is used to connect the heater coil of the gas regulator. 7.Quick socket (+) In CO2/MAG solid wire: it is used to connect with welding cable of wire feeding cable. In CO2/MAG Flux core wire: it is used to connect with welding cable of wire feeding cable.

Note! If the wire hose is too tight or too loose, it will increase resistance for wire feeding and cause wire feeding instable. ● Installation environment requirements 1. It should be placed indoors without direct sunlight, rainproof, low humidity and less dust. The ambient air temperature range is -10℃~+40℃.
