2. Thermal Overload Indicator: It indicates that the
machine is overloaded or that the cooling is not
sufficient. Depending on:
PRESTOMIG 185MP:
insufficient is shown by lighting LED under
the symbol.
PRESTOMIG 210MP: The message
as image is shown by the display [13].
3. Process Welding's Switch:
GMAW (MIG/MAG) process
Warning: Can be used to FCAW-SS
process.
SMAW (MMA) process
WARNING
When the machine is switched again on, last welding
process will be recalled.
WARNING
If the push-button is pushed in GMAW process in, the
output terminals will lived.
WARNING
During SMAW process, the output terminals are still lived.

Inductance: Arc control
controlled by this knob. If the
value is higher, the arc will be
softer and during welding is less
spatters.
ARC FORCE: The output current
is temporarily increased to clear
short circuit connections between
the electrode and the workpiece.
Wire feed speed WFS: Value in
percentage of nominal value wire
feed speed.
HOT START: Value in percentage
of nominal value welding current
during arc start current. The
control is used to set the level of
the increased current and arc start
current is made easy.
The welding load voltage and set
by this knob [6] (also during
welding).
The welding current is set by this
knob [6] (also during welding).
