1. Introduction
The ANDELI MIG Welder 135Apm is a compact, portable, and versatile 3-in-1 multiprocess welding machine designed for Flux MIG, Lift TIG, and Stick welding. Its dual voltage capability (110V/220V) ensures adaptability to various power sources, making it ideal for both workshop and job site use. Featuring advanced IGBT inverter technology, this welder delivers a robust 135AMP output current with enhanced efficiency and reliability. The intuitive synergic design simplifies operation, allowing both beginners and experienced welders to achieve smooth and excellent welds.
2. Safety Information
Always prioritize safety when operating welding equipment. Ensure you wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including a welding helmet, gloves, and protective clothing. The ANDELI MIG Welder is equipped with automatic protection features for overheating and overload, which will shut down the machine if necessary to prevent damage. It also has an IP21 rating, indicating protection against solid objects larger than 12mm and vertically dripping water.

Wire Reel Installation:
Open the side cover of the welder to access the wire reel compartment. Lift the press wheel, install the wire reel, and thread the wire through the feeder. Ensure the correct side of the press wheel (0.8mm or 1.0mm) is facing out based on your wire thickness.

5. Operating Modes
The ANDELI MIG Welder supports multiple welding processes. Select the desired mode using the panel function key.
Image: Visual representation of the three main welding modes: MMA (Stick), LIFT TIG, and Flux-cored Welding.
Flux MIG Welding (Gasless):
This mode uses flux-cored wire, eliminating the need for an external gas cylinder. Adjust the wire feed speed and current using the respective knobs on the control panel. The synergic design simplifies settings for optimal performance.

Lift TIG Welding:
For Lift TIG welding, connect the appropriate TIG torch (sold separately). Adjust the current based on the plate thickness. The welder will automatically match the current for the selected thickness. Voltage adjustment is not required in this mode.
Stick Welding (MMA):
Connect the manual electrode holder. Similar to Lift TIG, only current adjustment is needed. Rotate the current knob to match the thickness of the plate you are welding. The voltage is automatically set.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your welder. Keep the machine clean and free from dust and debris. Periodically check and replace MIG tips as they can wear out, especially with high heat applications. Use the provided wire brush and slag hammer to clean welds before laying new beads.
7. Troubleshooting
Overcurrent Protection:
If the overcurrent protection light illuminates on the control panel, it indicates that the current has exceeded its safe range. Turn off the machine and wait a few minutes for it to cool down before resuming operation. This feature protects the internal components from damage.
