(4) Safety Measures

� When the work is carried out with 2 or more persons, make it clear who is

to be the leader and who to be the follower(s) and communicate well with

each other to ensure the safety of the workers.

� When the product is under operation or in the ready mode, take the safety

measures (such as the installation of safety and protection fence) so that

nobody can enter the area within the robot’s movable range. When the

robot under operation is touched, it may result in death or serious injury.

� Make sure to install the emergency stop circuit so that the unit can be

stopped immediately in an emergency during the unit operation.

� Take the safety measure not to start up the unit only with the power turning

ON. Failure to do so may start up the machine suddenly and cause an

injury or damage to the product.

� Take the safety measure not to start up the machine only with the

emergency stop cancellation or recovery after the power failure. Failure to

do so may result in an electric shock or injury due to unexpected power

input.

� When the installation or adjustment operation is to be performed, give

clear warnings such as “Under Operation; Do not turn ON the power!” etc.

Sudden power input may cause an electric shock or injury.

� Take the measure so that the work part is not dropped in power failure or

emergency stop.

� Wear protection gloves, goggle or safety shoes, as necessary, to secure

safety.

� Do not insert a finger or object in the openings in the product. Failure to do

so may cause an injury, electric shock, damage to the product or fire.

� When releasing the brake on a vertically oriented actuator, exercise

precaution not to pinch your hand or damage the work parts with the

actuator dropped by gravity.

Teaching

� When the work is carried out with 2 or more persons, make it clear who is

to be the leader and who to be the follower(s) and communicate well with

each other to ensure the safety of the workers.

� Perform the teaching operation from outside the safety protection fence, if

possible. In the case that the operation is to be performed unavoidably

inside the safety protection fence, prepare the “Stipulations for the

Operation” and make sure that all the workers acknowledge and

understand them well.

� When the operation is to be performed inside the safety protection fence,

the worker should have an emergency stop switch at hand with him so

that the unit can be stopped any time in an emergency.

� When the operation is to be performed inside the safety protection fence,

in addition to the workers, arrange a watchman so that the machine can

be stopped any time in an emergency. Also, keep watch on the operation

so that any third person can not operate the switches carelessly.

� Place a sign “Under Operation” at the position easy to see.

� When releasing the brake on a vertically oriented actuator, exercise

precaution not to pinch your hand or damage the work parts with the

actuator dropped by gravity.

* Safety protection Fence : In the case that there is no safety protection

fence, the movable range should be indicated.
