3. Components Included
The following components are typically included with your ANDELI MIG-135PLUS welder:
- ANDELI MIG-135 Plus Welder (1 unit)
- Electrode Holder (10ft) (1 unit)
- Welding Torch (10ft) (1 unit)
- Gasless Wire (1 unit)
Note: TIG Lift torch is sold separately.
4. Setup
Before operating the welder, ensure all connections are secure and the work area is safe and well-ventilated.
4.1 Power Connection
- Ensure the welder's power switch is in the OFF position.
- Connect the power cord to a suitable 220V power outlet. The machine is designed for dual voltage operation.
- Verify the power source meets the welder's requirements.
4.2 Connecting Welding Accessories
- Electrode Holder (MMA Welding): Connect the electrode holder cable to the positive (+) terminal and the ground clamp cable to the negative (-) terminal on the front panel.
- MIG Torch (Flux MIG Welding): Connect the MIG torch cable to the designated MIG connector. Ensure the gasless wire is properly loaded into the wire feeder.
- TIG Torch (TIG Lift Welding): If using a TIG Lift torch (sold separately), connect it to the appropriate terminal. The ground clamp should be connected to the negative (-) terminal.

5. Operating Instructions
The ANDELI MIG-135PLUS offers multiple welding modes and control options. Familiarize yourself with each setting before beginning your welding task.
5.1 Selecting Welding Mode
Use the mode selection button on the control panel to cycle through the available welding processes: Flux MIG, MMA, and TIG Lift. The selected mode will be indicated on the LED display.
Figure 5.1: Overview of 4-in-1 welding modes.
5.2 Control Modes: Synergic vs. Manual
The welder features two control modes to suit different skill levels and project requirements:
- Automatic Mode (Synergic Control): Recommended for beginners. Adjusting the amperage or wire diameter automatically optimizes voltage and wire feed speed.
- Adjustment Mode (Manual Control): Recommended for skilled workers. Allows for separate and precise adjustment of current and voltage.
Figure 5.2: Automatic and Adjustment Control Modes.
5.3 2T/4T Settings
These settings control the trigger operation of the welding torch:
- 2T (Two-Touch): Press and hold the switch to dispense welding wire; release the switch to stop. Suitable for short welds.
- 4T (Four-Touch): Press the switch once to automatically continue dispensing welding wire; press it again to stop. Ideal for longer welds, reducing hand fatigue.
Figure 5.3: Explanation of 2T and 4T trigger modes.
Figure 5.4: Function settings including 2T, 4T, and Inductive mode.
5.4 Inductive Mode
The inductive mode allows for adjustment of arc softness and hardness, providing greater control over the weld bead appearance and penetration.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your welding machine.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the internal components with dry, compressed air to remove dust and metal particles. Ensure the machine is unplugged before cleaning.
- Cable Inspection: Regularly inspect all welding cables, torch, and electrode holder for damage, cuts, or loose connections. Replace damaged components immediately.
- Wire Feeder: Keep the wire feeder mechanism clean and free of debris to ensure smooth wire feeding.
- Storage: Store the welder in a dry, clean environment when not in use.
7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter. For problems not listed here, contact customer support.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Welder does not power on | No power supply; loose power cord; internal fuse blown. | Check power outlet and cord. Ensure power switch is ON. Contact service if fuse is suspected. |
| No arc | Poor ground connection; incorrect welding mode; damaged torch/electrode holder. | Ensure ground clamp is securely attached to clean metal. Verify correct mode. Inspect and replace damaged parts. |
| Wire feed issues (MIG) | Incorrect wire tension; clogged liner; wrong drive roller size; tangled wire. | Adjust wire tension. Clean or replace liner. Use correct drive rollers. Untangle wire spool. |
