| Software notes | The machine is equipped with an easy-to-read digital LED interface that allows quick switching between manual and synergic modes. The internal software includes 24 preset synergic programs, optimized for welding carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and for the use of flux-cored wires. It does not require cloud connections or external applications, ensuring completely autonomous and immediate operation. | 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. |
