5. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your ANDELI MIG-135 Plus Welder for operation.

5.1 Power Connection

• Ensure the welder's power switch is in the OFF position.
• Connect the power cord to a suitable 110V or 220V power outlet, depending on your project requirements and available power source.

5.2 Wire Installation

• Open the wire feed compartment.
• Place the spool of flux-cored wire onto the spindle, ensuring it rotates freely.
• Thread the wire through the wire feed mechanism and into the welding torch liner.
• Close the compartment securely.

5.3 Connecting Torch and Ground Clamp

• Connect the welding torch cable to the appropriate positive (+) terminal on the front panel.
• Connect the ground clamp cable to the negative (-) terminal on the front panel.
• Attach the ground clamp securely to the workpiece or welding table, ensuring good electrical contact.

6. Operating Instructions

This section details how to operate your welder for various welding tasks.

6.1 Powering On and Mode Selection

• Turn the power switch to the ON position. The LED display will illuminate.
• Use the mode selection button to cycle through the available welding modes: SYN MIG, MAN MIG, MMA, and LIFT TIG. Select the mode appropriate for your welding task.

6.2 Parameter Adjustment

Adjust welding parameters based on your chosen mode and material thickness.

• Synergic MIG (SYN MIG): Adjust the amperage or wire diameter, and the welder will automatically set the optimal voltage and wire feed speed. This is recommended for beginners.
• Manual MIG (MAN MIG): Manually adjust voltage and wire feed speed independently for precise control. This is recommended for skilled workers.
• MMA (Stick) / LIFT TIG: Adjust amperage as needed for your electrodes or TIG setup.

6.3 2T/4T Settings

The welder supports 2T (Two-Touch) and 4T (Four-Touch) trigger modes for the welding torch.

• 2T Mode: Press and hold the torch trigger to dispense wire and weld. Release the trigger to stop. Ideal for short welds.
• 4T Mode: Press and release the trigger once to start welding (wire dispenses continuously). Press and release again to stop. Ideal for long welds, reducing hand fatigue.

6.4 Welding Process

• Ensure your workpiece is clean and properly grounded.
• Position the welding torch at the correct angle and distance from the workpiece.
• Initiate the arc by pressing the trigger (2T) or pressing and releasing (4T).
• Maintain a steady travel speed and consistent arc length for optimal weld quality.
• After completing the weld, release the trigger (2T) or press and release again (4T).
