Prohibited
!
Danger
!
• During operation, NEVER enter the dangerous area of the robot.
Otherwise, you will be injured seriously.
• DO NOT leave in the working range any machinery or materials which will
hinder the operation. If the equipment went wrong, a person nearby will
be injured or involved in an accident.
• Anyone other than the operator MUST NOT approach the equipment.
Should he negligently touch a dangerous part of the equipment, he will get
injured or involved in a serious accident.
• NEVER perform an inappropriate operation which is not described in the
instruction manual. Otherwise, the equipment will start by mistake,
resulting in personal injury or serious accident.
• If you feel even a little that you are exposed to danger or the equipment
works abnormally, press the EMERGENCY STOP pushbutton switch to
stop the equipment. If the equipment is used as it is, you will be injured or
involved in a serious accident. When this happens, ask our after-sale
service agent for repair.
• During operation, be sure to close the equipment cover. Should the cover
be opened during operation, you will be struck by an electric shock or get
injured.
• Only a well-trained and qualified person is allowed to perform the
operation. Should the equipment be operated improperly, it will start by
mistake, causing a personal injury or serious accident.
Danger
• If the equipment has malfunctioned, turn the power off, identify and remove
the cause of the abnormality, maintain the peripheral equipment and
completely restore the malfunctioned equipment. Then start the
equipment at a low speed. If the equipment starts, leaving the
abnormality, you will be involved in a serious accident.

Mandatory
!
• DO NOT change the data of the system structure file. Otherwise, the
robot will operate abnormally, resulting in damage or an accident.
• In principle, teaching operation should be performed outside the dangerous
area of the robot. If it should be performed inevitably within the dangerous
area, strictly observe the following matters.
(1) The teaching operation should be always performed by two (2)
persons. One person performs the job and the other person watches
outside the dangerous area. Also, both persons should try to prevent
mis-operation with each other.
(2) The operator should do the job in an attitude ready to press the
EMERGENCY STOP pushbutton switch at any time. Also, he should
perform the job at a position from which he can evacuate immediately
at the time of an emergency after confirming the robot working range
and shields nearby.
(3) The supervisor should keep watch on the job at a position where he
can see the entire robot system and operate the EMERGENCY STOP
pushbutton switch at the time of an emergency. Also, he should keep

other person follows the instructions of the supervisor, accidents will be
caused.
panel remains off after the main power switch of the equipment was turned
on, turn off the main power immediately and confirm the wiring.
Otherwise, you will be struck by an electric shock or a fire will break out.
Caution
• Unless the robot operates toward a designated direction at manual guide,
turn off the servo power. Otherwise, the robot will be damaged or you will
be involved in an accident. When this happens, call us at the after-sale
service agent.
• Pushbutton operations of the control panel and teach pendant should be
confirmed visually. Otherwise, you will be involved in an accident due to
mis-operation.
• Before the hot start in automatic operation, be sure to reset a program. If
the program is executed continuously, the robot will interfere with the
peripheral equipment, resulting in damages or accidents.
