Relevant personnel should stay away from the suspended robot. Dobot is not respons-
ible for any damage caused during the transportation and handling of equipment.
■
Make sure that the robot is in the packing posture before packaging, and the brakes on
each axis are normal.
■
Make sure that there are no obstacles around the packing area, so that the staff can
leave in a timely manner in case of an emergency.
■
When the robot is transported, the packaging needs to be fixed to ensure that the robot
is stable.
■
After removing the outer packaging, make sure that the robot maintains the original
packing posture and the brakes of each axis are normal.
■
During the commissioning process, make sure that no relevant personnel and equipment
(include computer used for debugging) stay in the dangerous area of the machine.
■
If necessary, wear corresponding safety protective equipment, such as safety helmets,
safety shoes (with non-slip soles), face shields, protective glasses and gloves. Inappro-
priate clothing may cause personal injury.
■
In order to prevent personnel from entering the working space of the robot arm by mis-
take, set up safety barriers to prevent personnel from entering the hazardous area.
■
Do not enter the working space of the manipulator at will during operating the robot, oth-
erwise cause injury to the robot or yourself.
■
The personnel responsible for installation, operation, and maintenance of the equipment
must first undergo strict training, understand various safety precautions, and master the
correct operation and maintenance methods before operating and maintaining the equip-
ment.
■
When an abnormality occurs in the mechanical arm, it is necessary to ensure that the
machine is stopped and then checked.
■
After the commissioning of the operator is completed, the test needs to be performed in
the Manual mode first, and then it is automatically run after it is confirmed to be correct.
■
If the controller needs to be restarted due to power failure, when restarting, the robot
must be manually returned to the initial position of the automatic operation program be-
fore restarting the automatic operation.
■
Before maintenance and wiring work, the power supply must be cut off, and the sign No
power supply must be put on. Otherwise, electric shock and personal injury may result.
■
Observe the ESD regulations when disassembling the robot or controller.
■
Avoid dismantling the power supply system in the controller. After the controller is turned
off, its power supply system may still have high voltage for several hours.
■
Contact our technical support staff for the disassembly and repair of the robot.
■
Maintenance and repair work must be carried out by designated personnel, otherwise
electric shock and personal injury may result.
■
If the brake is manually released, the robot may move because of the action of gravity.
So, when manually releasing the brake, ensure that the robot body and the tools or work-
pieces installed on the robot are effectively supported.
■
In order to prevent electric shock, when replacing parts, turn off the circuit breaker in ad-
vance and cut off the main power before proceeding.
■
Turn off the main power supply for 5 minutes before replacing parts.
■
The replacement operation must be performed by the specified operator.

4.8 Personal safety
When operating the robot system, strictly follow the general precautions listed below to en-
sure the personal safety of the operator.
WARNING
■
Comply with local laws or regulations with regard to the maximum weight one person is
permitted to carry.
■
Do not touch the terminal blocks or disassemble the equipment with the power ON. Oth-
erwise, it may result in an electric shock.
■
Confirm that the equipment is well grounded, otherwise it will endanger personal safety.
■
Do not touch the terminal blocks or remove the interval circuit components within 10
minutes after the power is shut off, so as to avoid an electric shock since there is resid-
ual capacitance inside the controller.
■
Even if the power switch of the controller is already in the OFF status, touching the ter-
minal blocks or removing the interval circuit components is not allowed, so as to avoid an
electric shock since there is residual capacitance inside the controller.
■
When working with robots, do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. When operating the ro-
bot, make sure that you have bundle your hair behind your head.
■
If the robot appears to have stopped during the operation of the equipment, it may be be-
cause the robot is waiting for the start signal and is in the state of being about to move.
In this case, the robot should also be considered to be in motion. Do not approach the
robot.
