1.4 Safety Precautions
Read the following information carefully and provide safety measures with due consideration.
This product has been developed as a drive component for automated machinery and the like, and is therefore
designed not to generate excessive torque or speed beyond the levels needed to drive automated equipment.
However, the following instructions must be strictly observed to prevent an unexpected accident.
1. Assume that the product cannot be handled or operated in any manner not specified in this manual, and do
not attempt any such handling or operation.
2. Do not enter the operating range of the machine while the machine is operating or is able to operate (the
controller power is ON). If the machine is used in a place accessible to other people, enclose its operating
range using a safety cage, etc.
3. Always turn off the power supply to the controller before assembling/adjusting or maintaining/inspecting the
machine. During assembly/adjustment or maintenance/inspection, put a plate or other visible sign in a
conspicuous place indicating that work is in progress. Provide sufficient safety measures to prevent another
person from inadvertently plugging in the cable during work.
4. If two or more persons work together, set signaling methods so each person can confirm the safety of
other(s) during work. Especially when the work requires an axis or axes to be moved—with or without the
power and by motor drive or manual operation—the person moving each axis should always call out
beforehand to ensure safety.
