2. Setup

2.1 Included Components

The MCT-416 PLUS comes as a complete ready-to-use kit, weighing approximately 45.1 pounds (28.22lb compact unit) with dimensions of 19.29"x8.86"x13.39".

• ANDELI plasma cutter welder (1 unit)
• Ground clamp (1 unit)
• MIG torch (3m) (1 unit)
• Gas pipe (3m) (1 unit)
• Nozzles (20 units)
• Nozzle shields (2 units)
• Cutting torch (4m) (1 unit)
• Tips (10 units)
• Electrodes (10 units)
• Pneumatic joints (2 units)
• Hose barbs (2 units)
• MMA electrode holder (3m) (1 unit)
• Teflon tape (1 unit)
• Oil-water separator (1 unit)
• Hose clamps (2 units)
• Flux-cored wire (1 unit)

2.2 Power Connection

The unit supports dual-voltage operation (110V/220V). Use the appropriate power cable and adapter for your power supply. For small operations, 110V can be used. For industrial operations, 220V is recommended for full performance.

3.1 Stick Welding (MMA)

For Stick welding, select the MMA mode. Adjust the amperage using the rotary dial. This mode is straightforward with minimal additional settings.

3.2 MIG Welding (Flux/Gas)

The MIG mode (including Flux MIG and Gas MIG) offers synergy settings where power and wire speed are automatically matched. You can also manually adjust voltage and wire speed independently. Select your gas type (CO2 or Mixed Gas) or Flux for flux-cored wire. Choose between 2T (trigger-on-release) or 4T (trigger-on/off) operation, or Spot welding for quick tacks.

3.3 Lift TIG Welding

For Lift TIG, a separate TIG torch is required (not included). This mode provides constant electricity, and the arc is initiated by touching the electrode to the metal and then lifting it. There is no foot pedal control for amperage in this mode.

3.4 Plasma Cutting (CUT)

The Plasma Cutter mode allows for clean cuts up to 8mm (0.31") and a maximum thickness of 12mm (0.47"). You can adjust the cutting amperage and control the pre-flow and post-flow of air. An external air compressor is required for plasma cutting operations. Ensure the air compressor is on a separate circuit to avoid power issues.
