z Before commencing automatic operation, make sure all related peripherals are ready to
operate in the auto mode and no abnormalities are displayed or indicated.
z Be sure to start automatic operation from outside the safety fences.
z If the product generated abnormal heat, smoke, odor or noise, stop the product immediately
and turn off the power switch. Failure to do so may result in fire or product damage.
z If a power outage occurred, turn off the power switch. Otherwise, the product may move
suddenly when the power is restored, resulting in injury or product damage.
8 Maintenance/
inspection
z 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.
z When working inside the safety fences, turn off the power switch, as a rule.
z When working inside the safety fences, the operator should carry a handy emergency stop
switch so that the operation can be stopped any time when an abnormality occurs.
z When working inside the safety fences, appoint a safety watcher in addition to the operator
so that the operation can be stopped any time when an abnormality occurs. The safety
watcher must also make sure the switches are not operated inadvertently by a third party.
z Put up a sign saying “WORK IN PROGRESS” in a conspicuous location.
z Use appropriate grease for the guides and ball screws by checking the operation manual for
each model.
z Do not perform a withstand voltage test. Conducting this test may result in product damage.

or damage the load, etc., due to the slider dropping by its dead weight.
