| Software notes | — | As a manual transformer-based MIG/MAG welder, it lacks digital displays, software interfaces, or synergic controls. Parameter adjustment is done via two simple analog selectors on the front panel: one for voltage (stepped adjustment) and one for wire feed speed. No application or cloud connection is required for operation. |
