2. Safety Information

Always prioritize safety when operating welding equipment. Failure to follow safety precautions can result in serious injury or death.

• Ensure the machine is connected to a properly grounded power source (100V or 200V).
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including welding helmet, gloves, and protective clothing.
• Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling welding fumes.
• Keep flammable materials away from the welding area.
• Do not touch live electrical parts.
• The product is CE certified, indicating compliance with European safety standards.

3. Product Features

The ANDELI TIG-250G PRO offers versatile welding capabilities with user-friendly controls.

• Dual Voltage Compatibility: Operates on both 100V and 200V power supplies.
• Multi-Process Welding: Supports TIG, Arc (MMA), Cold, Clean, and Pulse welding modes.
• Digital Control: Easy adjustment of welding parameters via a single dial.
• Cold Mode: Minimizes material deformation and discoloration, resulting in a silver-white weld for stainless steel. Requires pure argon gas.
• Rapid Heat Dissipation: Multi-grid design on both sides with automatic cooling for extended operation.

4. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your welding machine for operation.

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the welding machine and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Power Connection: Connect the power cable to a suitable 100V or 200V grounded outlet. The machine automatically detects the voltage.
3. Ground Clamp Connection: Attach the ground clamp cable to the negative (-) terminal on the front panel and secure the clamp to your workpiece.
4. Welding Torch Connection:
   • For TIG welding, connect the TIG torch to the positive (+) terminal and the gas hose to the gas inlet.
   • For MMA (Arc) welding, connect the electrode holder to the positive (+) terminal.
5. Gas Connection (for TIG/Cold modes): Connect the argon gas regulator to your pure argon gas cylinder and then to the gas inlet on the machine. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.

5. Operating Instructions

The TIG-250G PRO features a digital control panel for easy mode and parameter selection.

5.1 Control Panel Overview

The front panel includes a digital display, mode selection buttons, and a control dial for parameter adjustment.

5.2 Mode Selection and Parameter Adjustment

1. Power On: Turn on the main power switch located on the rear of the machine.
2. Select Mode: Use the mode selection button on the front panel to cycle through Cold, TIG, Pulse, Arc Welding (MMA), and Clean modes. The selected mode will be indicated on the digital display.
3. Adjust Parameters: Once a mode is selected, use the control dial to adjust specific welding parameters (e.g., current, pulse frequency, etc.). The digital display will show the current value.
4. Remote Control TIG Torch: For TIG welding, the remote control torch allows real-time parameter adjustments.
   • Press '+' to increase parameters.
   • Press '-' to decrease parameters.
   • Long press 'M' for 3 seconds to switch functions.
   • Short press 'M' for parameter adjustment.

5.3 Welding Modes Explained

• TIG Welding: For precise welding of various metals. Requires pure argon gas.
• Arc Welding (MMA): For general-purpose welding with coated electrodes.
• Cold Mode: Specialized for welding thin materials, particularly stainless steel, to minimize heat input, deformation, and discoloration. Requires pure argon gas.
• Pulse Welding: Provides better control over heat input, useful for thin materials and out-of-position welding.
• Clean Mode: Used for cleaning the weld area, often after welding stainless steel to restore its appearance.
