Safety Information

WARNING: Welding and plasma cutting can be dangerous. Always follow safety precautions to prevent injury or death.

• Always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including a welding helmet with proper shade, flame-resistant clothing, welding gloves, and safety shoes.
• Ensure adequate ventilation to avoid inhaling fumes and gases.
• Protect bystanders from arc rays and sparks.
• Never weld or cut near flammable materials.
• Ensure the machine is properly grounded.
• Do not touch live electrical parts.
• Disconnect power before servicing or changing consumables.
• Keep children and unauthorized personnel away from the work area.

Package Contents

The ANDELI MCT-416 package typically includes the following items:

• ANDELI MCT-416 Main Unit
• MIG/MAG Torch
• LIFT TIG Torch
• MMA Electrode Holder
• Plasma Cutting Torch
• Ground Clamp
• Gas Regulator (Pressure Reducer)
• Welding Wire Spool (e.g., Flux-cored wire)
• Assorted Consumables (MIG tips, TIG collets/nozzles, Plasma electrodes/nozzles)

Setup Instructions

1. Power Connection

The MCT-416 supports dual voltage input. Connect the power cord to a suitable 110V or 220V power outlet. The machine automatically detects the input voltage.

• 110V: Suitable for small operations.
• 220V: Recommended for industrial operations and higher power output.

2. Welding Torch and Ground Clamp Connection

Connect the appropriate torch and the ground clamp to the front panel of the welder according to the desired welding/cutting process.

• MIG/MAG: Connect the MIG torch and ground clamp. For gas-shielded MIG, connect the gas line to the regulator and then to the machine.
• Flux MIG: Connect the MIG torch and ground clamp. No external gas is required for flux-cored wire.
• LIFT TIG: Connect the TIG torch and ground clamp. For gas-shielded TIG, connect the gas line.
• CUT: Connect the Plasma Cutting torch and ground clamp. Connect the air compressor line to the regulator and then to the machine.
• MMA: Connect the electrode holder and ground clamp.

3. Welding Wire Installation (for MIG/Flux MIG)

The machine is suitable for both 2-pound and 11-pound welding wire spools. Open the wire feeder compartment, place the wire spool on the spindle, and feed the wire through the drive rollers and into the torch liner. Ensure the drive rollers are correctly tensioned for the wire diameter.

4. Plasma Cutting Torch Components

For plasma cutting, ensure the torch consumables are correctly assembled. The typical components include:

1. Ceramic Nozzle
2. Nozzle
3. Diffuser
4. Electrode

Operating Instructions

1. Control Panel Overview

The MCT-416 features a large LED digital screen for easy adjustment of welding parameters. The control panel includes:

• Process Selection: Buttons for MIX, FLUX, 2T, 4T, SPOT.
• Parameter Display: Shows Current, Voltage, and Wire Feeder settings.
• Adjustment Knob: For fine-tuning parameters.
• Indicators: Alarm, Pre-Flow, Post-Flow, VRD SET, Synergy, Time, Speed.
• Automatic Matching: The machine can automatically match current, voltage, and wire feeder speed for simplified setup.

2. Selecting a Welding/Cutting Mode

Turn on the machine. Use the control panel to select the desired mode (MIG, LIFT TIG, MMA, or CUT). The LED display will show relevant parameters for the selected mode.

3. Adjusting Parameters

While the machine offers automatic matching, you can manually adjust parameters like current, voltage, and wire feed speed using the control knob. Refer to the specifications table for recommended ranges for each process.

4. High Frequency Feature

The machine incorporates high-frequency technology to effectively reduce electromagnetic interference caused by high-frequency and high-voltage discharge, contributing to a more stable arc and cleaner welds/cuts.

5. Performing Welding/Cutting

Once the mode and parameters are set, ensure your workpiece is clean and properly grounded. Begin the welding or cutting process according to standard practices for the selected mode.

Maintenance

• Regular Cleaning: Keep the machine clean and free from dust and metal particles. Use compressed air to blow out the internal components periodically.
• Consumable Replacement: Regularly inspect and replace worn-out consumables such as MIG contact tips, TIG electrodes/collets, and plasma cutting nozzles/electrodes to ensure optimal performance.
• Cable Inspection: Check all cables and connections for damage or wear. Replace any damaged cables immediately.
• Wire Feeder Maintenance (MIG): Clean the wire feeder rollers and guide tubes to prevent wire feeding issues.
• Air Filter (CUT): If applicable, clean or replace the air filter for the plasma cutting air supply.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter. For more complex problems, contact customer support.

• No Power: Check the power cord connection, circuit breaker, and ensure the power switch on the machine is ON.
• No Arc/Poor Arc:
  • Ensure the ground clamp has good contact with the workpiece.
  • Check torch connections and consumables for wear or damage.
  • Verify correct parameters (current, voltage) are set for the material and process.
  • For MIG, check wire feed and contact tip.
  • For TIG, ensure the tungsten electrode is properly sharpened and gas flow is adequate.
  • For CUT, check air pressure and plasma torch consumables.
• Overheating: The machine has thermal overload protection. If it shuts down due to overheating, allow it to cool down. Ensure proper ventilation around the machine.
• Wire Feeding Issues (MIG): Check wire spool installation, tension on drive rollers, and ensure the contact tip is not clogged.
• Poor Cut Quality (CUT): Check air pressure, plasma torch consumables (nozzle, electrode), and cutting speed.

Specifications

The following table outlines the key technical specifications for the ANDELI MCT-416 welder:

User Tips

• Practice Makes Perfect: If new to welding or plasma cutting, practice on scrap materials to get a feel for the machine and different settings before working on important projects.
• Cleanliness is Key: Always ensure your workpiece is clean and free of rust, paint, or oil for the best results in both welding and cutting.
• Proper Ventilation: Even with gasless processes, fumes are produced. Always work in a well-ventilated area or use a fume extractor.
• Consumable Life: Keep spare consumables on hand. Worn-out tips, nozzles, and electrodes can significantly degrade performance.

Warranty and Support

The ANDELI MCT-416 comes with a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase. For technical support, troubleshooting assistance, or warranty claims, please contact your retailer or the manufacturer directly. Ensure you have your purchase receipt and product model number available.
