Do not place volatile or flammable fluids in any machine. Do not clean the ma-
chine with volatile or flammable fluids such as acetone, lacquer thinners, enamel
reducers, carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, benzene, naphtha, etc. Doing so could
result in serious personal injury and/or damage to the machine.

Replace all panels that are removed to perform service and maintenance pro-
cedures. Do not operate the machine with missing guards or with broken or
missing parts. Do not bypass any safety devices.

4. Radio Frequency Emissions. A filter is available for machines in installations where floor

space is shared with equipment sensitive to radio frequency emissions. All machines that are
shipped to CE countries are equipped with this filter and comply with the EMI regulations.

5. Water damage. Do not spray the machine with water. Short circuiting and serious damage

may result.

5.2.4

Machine Location

1. Foundation. The floor must be of sufficient strength and thickness to handle the weight of

the machine.

2. Service/ Maintenance Space. Provide sufficient space to allow comfortable performance of

service procedures and routine maintenance. This is especially important in connection with
machines equipped with AC inverter drives. Consult installation instructions for specific
details.

5.2.5

Input and Output Services

1. Air Pressure. Best performance will be realized if air is provided at a pressure of 80-100psi

(5.4-7 bar). PF Series machines will experience operational failure if compressed air service
is interrupted. The machine is equipped with internal regulators and should be set to the
values shown on the labels near each regulator. Dirty and/or wet air will cause operational
problems. Air provided to the machine must be clean and dry for proper operation.

2. Power. For personal safety and for proper operation, the machine must be grounded in accor-

dance with state and local codes. The ground connection must be to a proven earth ground,
not to conduits or water pipes. An easy-access disconnect switch should be provided.

Ensure that a ground wire from a proven earth ground is connected to the ground lug in the elec-
trical junction box on this machine. Without proper grounding personal injury from electrical
shock could occur and machine malfunctions may be evident. Computer-controlled machines
must have a proper ground to prevent computer malfunctions.
