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

0460 971 301 - 10 - © ESAB AB 2016
The stand-alone unit is used when there is
no W82unit in the system.
The presentation unit is used when there
is a W82unit in the system.
During unit start-up it is possible to see if the unit is a presentation unit or not.
4.3 How to set-up the U82 for use with W82
NOTE!
It is necessary to change the U82stand-alone unit to a presentation unit before it
