Whenever possible, work from outside the safety fences. If work must be performed
inside the safety fences, prepare “work rules” and make sure the operator understands
the procedures thoroughly.

The safety watcher must also make sure the switches are not operated inadvertently
by a third party.

Use appropriate grease for the guides and ball screws by checking the operation
manual for each model.
