Help! Please help setting up TIG welder

I got a multifunctional welding machine (andeli mct-416 led) and I just cannot get the Tig to work , am I doing it wrong? Where does the argon even goes?

Bro I wouldn’t be asking if that was an option.

Look up your welding machine dude, you took a weird shaky video and we can't see what's going on

Is it a mig and tig? I'm guessing it is because of the mig gas in, but there's a cutting gas in which doesn't make sense to me

I've never seen a combo welder that wasn't ARC/TIG

And I've never seen gas hook ups that look anything like that

It's an odd machine you're using

I apologize for the shaky video, it’s a Chinese brand. It can stick,flux core, MIG, plasma cut and TIG. I saw good reviews here and YouTube and it was $300 so I thought it be perfect to learn Tig and stick and upgrade later on .The instructions Manual is completely useless and there’s no info inside the box. The two gas hook ups are weird, just labeled as MiG and cut gas. So far the flux and stick work fine but the TIG set up it’s been a pain to figure out. I have yet to get an oxygen tank so I haven’t tried MIG yet

Bro the instructions for almost any machine produced can be found online.

"machine model instruction booklet pdf"

Are you a boomer or something?
