| 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. | As a step-regulated transformer welding machine, it features no management software or digital interface. Parameter control is purely electromechanical via selectors on the front panel, providing 10 positions for voltage adjustment along with potentiometers for manual regulation of wire feed speed and spot-welding time. |
