○ its operation
○ location of emergency stops
○ its function
○ relevant safety precautions
○ welding and cutting or other applicable operation of the equipment

2. The operator must ensure that:

○ no unauthorised person is stationed within the working area of the equipment

when it is started up

4. Personal safety equipment:

○ Always wear recommended personal safety equipment, such as safety glasses,

flame-proof clothing, safety gloves

○ Do not wear loose-fitting items, such as scarves, bracelets, rings, etc., which

could become trapped or cause burns

5. General precautions:

○ Make sure the return cable is connected securely
○ Work on high voltage equipment may only be carried out by a qualified

electrician

○ Appropriate fire extinguishing equipment must be clearly marked and close at

hand

○ Lubrication and maintenance must not be carried out on the equipment during

operation

WARNING!

Arc welding and cutting can be injurious to yourself and others. Take precautions
when welding and cutting.

ELECTRIC SHOCK - Can kill

• Install and ground the unit in accordance with instruction manual.

• Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or
wet clothing.

• Insulate yourself from work and ground.

• Ensure your working position is safe

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS - Can be dangerous to health

• Welders having pacemakers should consult their physician before welding.
EMF may interfere with some pacemakers.

• Exposure to EMF may have other health effects which are unknown.

• Welders should use the following procedures to minimize exposure to EMF:

○ Route the electrode and work cables together on the same side of your

body. Secure them with tape when possible. Do not place your body
between the torch and work cables. Never coil the torch or work cable
around your body. Keep welding power source and cables as far away
from your body as possible.

○ Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the

area being welded.

FUMES AND GASES - Can be dangerous to health

• Keep your head out of the fumes.

• Use ventilation, extraction at the arc, or both, to take fumes and gases
away from your breathing zone and the general area.

ARC RAYS - Can injure eyes and burn skin

• Protect your eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter lens
and wear protective clothing.

• Protect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains.

NOISE - Excessive noise can damage hearing

Protect your ears. Use earmuffs or other hearing protection.

MALFUNCTION - Call for expert assistance in the event of malfunction.

PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS!

CAUTION!

This product is solely intended for arc welding.

WARNING!

Do not use the power source for thawing frozen pipes.

CAUTION!

Class A equipment is not intended for use in residential
locations where the electrical power is provided by the
public low-voltage supply system. There may be potential
difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility of class
A equipment in those locations, due to conducted as well
as radiated disturbances.

2 INTRODUCTION

Aristo® W8

2

W82is a control unit that enables communication between welding
equipment and automation equipment, such as robots and

computers. Communication protocols: DeviceNet, Profibus,
CANopen and Ethernet.

W82is used together with ESAB CANbus equipped power sources
for welding automation. For power source and wire feed unit

handling, see the relevant instruction manual.

Retrofit Mig 4004i WeldCloud™

Retrofit Mig 4004i WeldCloud™ is retrofitted on top of supported
ESAB power sources. It connects to the CANbus internally.
Communication protocol: WeldCloud™.

There are two versions of Retrofit Mig 4004i WeldCloud™ available,
with different functionality. The available versions have ordering
numbers 0445302880 (without connection for ethernet and
communication with robot system) and 0445302881 (with
connection for ethernet and communication with robot system).

For information about supported power sources, contact your ESAB
sales representative.
