| Software notes | As a traditional transformer-based welder, the POWER MIG 180 Dual is entirely analog, featuring no software interfaces, digital displays, or synergic controls. Adjustments are made exclusively via physical dials on the front panel: a stepped switch for voltage (following the transformer taps) and a continuous potentiometer for wire feed speed. This complete absence of complex electronics or cloud dependence ensures maximum long-term reliability and straightforward repairability. | — |
