Precautions


(1)

Use a genuine product specified by us for wiring between the actuator and controller.

(2)

Stand clear of the operating range of the machine when it is in motion or is ready to operate. Surround
the system with safety partitions if there is a possibility that people can enter the area where the machine
is being used.

(3)

When assembling, adjusting, or performing maintenance on the machine, always disengage the power
supply to the controller. During work, display a sign stating work in progress where it is readily visible.
Also, keep the power cable close to the operator so that another person cannot inadvertently switch on
the power. Alternatively, lock the power plug or receptacle and direct the operator to hold the key or
prepare a safety plug.

(4) When more than one person is working on the system, agree on signals beforehand to ensure

everyone's safety before beginning work. In particular, when doing work involving axis movement,
always call out for everyone's safety regardless of whether power is ON or OFF, or the axis is to be
mechanically driven or manually moved.

(5)

When the user needs to lengthen the cables, check the wiring carefully to make sure it is correct before
turning the power ON since miswiring can lead to misoperation.
