4. Setup

4.1 Unpacking and Inspection

Carefully unpack the welder and all accessories. Inspect for any shipping damage. Report any damage to your supplier immediately.

4.2 Power Connection

The ANDELI MIG135 operates on 110V AC power. Ensure the power source matches the welder's requirements and is properly grounded. Use a dedicated circuit if possible to avoid overloading.

4.3 Connecting Welding Cables

Refer to the markings on the welder for correct polarity connections for each welding process.

• Ground Clamp: Connect the ground clamp cable to the appropriate terminal on the welder and securely attach the clamp to the workpiece, ensuring good electrical contact.
• MIG Torch: Connect the MIG torch to the designated MIG connector. Install the flux-cored wire spool into the wire feeder compartment, threading the wire through the feeder mechanism and into the torch liner.
• Electrode Holder (MMA): For MMA welding, connect the electrode holder cable to the appropriate terminal.
• TIG Torch (Lift TIG): For Lift TIG welding, connect the TIG torch to the designated terminal. Ensure the tungsten electrode is correctly installed.

5. Operating Instructions

The ANDELI MIG135 features a simple control panel for selecting welding modes and adjusting parameters.

5.1 Mode Selection

Use the mode selection button on the control panel to switch between MIG, Lift TIG, and MMA welding processes.

5.2 Parameter Adjustment

The welder features a unified adjustment mode. Use the control knob to adjust welding voltage and current according to the material thickness and welding process. Start with recommended settings and fine-tune as needed.

5.3 MIG Welding (Flux-Cored)

This machine is designed for flux-cored welding without external shielding gas. It can be installed with 0.030 inch (1kg) flux-cored welding wire.

1. Select MIG mode.
2. Set appropriate voltage and wire feed speed.
3. Ensure proper ground connection.
4. Position the MIG torch and initiate the arc.
5. Maintain a consistent travel speed and torch angle.

5.4 Lift TIG Welding

For Lift TIG welding, a TIG torch (not always included) and appropriate tungsten electrodes are required.

1. Select Lift TIG mode.
2. Set the desired welding current.
3. Gently touch the tungsten electrode to the workpiece and then lift it slightly to initiate the arc.
4. Maintain a short arc length and consistent travel speed.

5.5 MMA (Stick) Welding

For MMA welding, an electrode holder and appropriate welding electrodes are required.

1. Select MMA mode.
2. Set the welding current based on the electrode type and diameter.
3. Strike the electrode against the workpiece to initiate the arc.
4. Maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your welder.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the welder's exterior and ventilation openings to prevent dust buildup. The unique air channel design helps minimize dust absorption, but regular cleaning is still recommended.
• Cable Inspection: Regularly inspect all welding cables, torch, and ground clamp for damage, cuts, or loose connections. Replace damaged components immediately.
• Wire Feeder: Clean the wire feeder rollers and guide tubes to ensure smooth wire feeding. Check for wear on the rollers.
• Torch Consumables: Inspect and replace MIG torch nozzles, contact tips, and TIG collets/tungsten electrodes as they wear out.
• Storage: Store the welder in a clean, dry environment when not in use.
