tion, which includes electrical connections, mounting and adequate enclosure, fusing or
other current protection, and grounding can reduce the chance of electrical shocks, and/or fires in this
product or products used with this product, such as electric motors, switches, coils, solenoids, and/or
relays. Do not use this drive in an explosion-proof application. Eye protection must be worn and insu-
lated adjustment tools must be used when working with drive under power. This product is constructed
of materials (plastics, metals, carbon, silicon, etc.) which may be a potential hazard. Proper shielding,
grounding, and filtering of this product can reduce the emission of radio frequency interference (RFI)
which may adversely affect sensitive electronic equipment. The input circuits of this drive may not be
isolated from the AC line. Be sure to read and follow all instructions carefully. Fire and/or electrocution

which are used for "Start" and "Stop" functions. However, these circuits are never to be used as safety
disconnects since they are not fail-safe. Use only the AC line for this purpose.It is the responsibility of
the equipment manufacturer and individual installer to supply this Safety Warning to the ultimate end
user of this product. (SW 7/2009)
