2.5 General safety instructions

• Observe applicable accident prevention and environmental protection regulations.
• Observe the safety regulations of the country in which the product is used/operated.
• Use Rexroth products only when they are in good working order.
• Observe all notices on the product.
• Do not install, operate, remove or maintain Rexroth products if under the influence
of alcohol, drugs or medication that may affect your reaction time.
• Only use genuine Rexroth accessories and spare parts to ensure there is no hazard
to persons from unsuitable spare parts.
• Observe the technical data and ambient conditions specified in the product
documentation.
• If unsuitable products are installed or used in applications that are of relevance to
safety, unexpected operating conditions may occur in the application, which could
result in personal injury or property damage. For this reason, only use the product
in safety-relevant applications if this use is expressly indicated and approved in the
product documentation, e.g. in explosion protection areas or in safety-related parts
of a control system (functional safety).
• Only commission the product if it has been determined that the end product
(e.g. machinery/system) in which the Rexroth products are installed complies with
the country-specific provisions, safety regulations and standards for the application.
• Use tools appropriate for the work being performed and wear appropriate
protective clothing to prevent punctures and cuts (e.g. when removing protective
covers, disassembly).
• There is a risk of entanglement when operating the axial piston unit with a bare
shaft end. Check whether or not your machine requires additional safety measures
for your application. If necessary, make sure these are appropriately implemented.
• Depending on the type of control used, electromagnetic effects can be produced
when using solenoids. Applying a direct voltage signal (DC) to solenoids does not
create electromagnetic interference (EMI) nor is the solenoid affected by EMI.
Potential electromagnetic interference (EMI) exists if the solenoid is energized
with a modulated direct current (e.g. PWM signal). The machine manufacturer
should conduct appropriate tests and take appropriate measures to ensure that
other components or operators (e.g. with a pacemaker) are not affected by this
potentiality.
