1.3 Operation Safety
The following items are safety precautions for qualified Operator personnel:
■
Please carefully read the Safety-related Requirements in this manual
before operating the robot system. Operating the robot system
without understanding the safety requirements is extremely hazardous
and may result in serious bodily injury and/or severe equipment
damage to the robot system.
■
Do not enter the operating area of the Manipulator while the power to
the robot system is turned ON. Entering the operating area with the
power ON is extremely hazardous and may cause serious safety
problems as the Manipulator may move even if it seems to be stopped.
■
Before operating the robot system, make sure that no one is inside the
safeguarded area. The robot system can be operated in the mode for
teaching even when someone is inside the safeguarded area.
The motion of the Manipulator is always in restricted status (low
speeds and low power) to secure the safety of an operator. However,
operating the robot system while someone is inside the safeguarded
area is extremely hazardous and may result in serious safety problems
in case that the Manipulator moves unexpectedly.
WARNING
■
Immediately press the Emergency Stop switch whenever the
Manipulator moves abnormally while the robot system is operated.
Continuing the operating the robot system while the Manipulator
moves abnormally is extremely hazardous and may result in serious
bodily injury and/or severe equipment change to the robot system.
WARNING
■
Be sure to connect the AC power cable to a power receptacle. DO
NOT connect it directly to a factory power source. To shut off power
to the robot system, pull out the power plug from the power source.
Performing any work while connecting the AC power cable to a factory
power source is extremely hazardous and may result in electric shock
and/or malfunction of the robot system.
