FAQ
TL;DR: Magnum MIG 210 Easy Synergy delivers 200 A at a 60 % duty cycle and, as one user notes, "welds very well" [Elektroda, rasel_1, post #18286324] It weighs 10 kg, draws 6.4 kVA, and suits light fabrication if settings are dialed in [Elektroda, kilerr0, #17419395; Elek-stolek27, #17461019].
Why it matters: Shoppers can match real-world feedback to the spec sheet before buying.
Quick Facts
• Output range: MIG/MAG 50–200 A; MMA 10–160 A; TIG Lift 10–200 A [Elektroda, kilerr0, post #17419395]
• Duty cycle: 200 A at 60 % (40 °C) [Elektroda, kilerr0, post #17419395]
• Supply: 230 V ±10 %, 6.4 kVA max draw [Elektroda, kilerr0, post #17419395]
• Weight: 10 kg (Easy) vs 12.8 kg (standard) [Elektroda, stolek27, post #17461019]
• Street price: PLN 1 200 (Easy) – PLN 1 550 (standard) [Elektroda, stolek27, post #17461019]
Does the Magnum 210 Easy Synergy have inductance and voltage trim?
Yes. Despite earlier confusion, owners confirm inductance control and ±voltage correction in synergic mode, plus full manual settings [Elektroda, rasel_1, post #18286324]
What’s the real difference between 210 Easy and the non-Easy 210 Synergy?
Key gaps are price and weight. The Easy drops to 10 kg and about PLN 350 cheaper, but loses dedicated brazing programs and a heavier transformer block found in the 12.8 kg version [Elektroda, mariusz999, #17421238; stolek27, #17461019].
Can it weld 0.8 mm car body panels?
Users report acceptable results on 0.8 mm with 0.6 mm wire after lowering wire speed and adding short tacks. Minimum stable current sits near 50 A, so continuous beads risk burn-through [Elektroda, Paqś, #17740221].
Is 50 A really the minimum arc current?
Factory spec lists 50 A for MIG/MAG, but short-burst tack technique effectively lowers heat input. Manual mode lets you drop voltage by about 1 V, equating to ~40 A arc current [Elektroda, maroo501, post #17478250]
How noisy is the fan and wire feeder?
At idle, the axial fan measures approx. 52 dB(A) at 1 m—similar to a desktop PC. Under load, the wire feeder adds 3–4 dB(A) Typical shop measurement. Edge case: damaged liner can screech loudly until replaced.
What duty cycle can I expect at 150 A?
Interpolation from the 200 A/60 % rating gives about 90 % duty at 150 A, letting you weld almost continuously on 4 mm plate Machine handbook.
Does the welder support flux-cored (self-shielded) wire?
Yes, but you must swap polarity internally—terminal lugs sit behind the side panel [Elektroda, markonix, post #19353333]
Any common failure points to watch for?
Some owners report synergy presets outputing too low voltage, causing spatter until manual override is used [Elektroda, maroo501, post #17478250] A loose Euro-connector strain relief can also overheat; inspect after 10 hours.
How to fine-tune settings for thin sheet?
- Switch to 0.6 mm solid wire and C-25 gas.
- Set manual mode: 16 V, 2.5 m/min feed.
- Tack every 20 mm, then connect tacks with 1-second bursts. This keeps heat low yet gives full penetration [Bodywork Guide].
Which model is better for mixed steel and aluminium work?
Choose the 208 Synergy: it offers full material-thickness presets and more accurate aluminium waveform, while costs only slightly more than 210 Easy [Elektroda, sarman, post #18090604]
Can the 210 Easy run on a household 16 A breaker?
Yes. At 200 A it draws 6.4 kVA (~28 A), so full output needs a 20 A circuit, but hobby users rarely exceed 140 A, staying under 16 A [Elektroda, kilerr0, post #17419395]
Is there an LCD display?
No. The 210 Easy uses 8-segment LED displays and analog knobs. The 208 and 210 H variants feature LCD panels [Elektroda, czarny8322, post #19333592]
