Programming, Operation, and Maintenance Safety
All operators, programmers, plant and tooling engineers, maintenance
personnel, supervisors, and anyone working near the robot must become
familiar with the operation of this equipment. Improper operation can
result in personal injury and/or damage to the equipment. Only trained
personnel familiar with the operation, manuals, electrical design, and
equipment interconnections of this robot should program, operate, and
maintain the system. All personnel involved with the operation of the
equipment must understand potential dangers of operation.
• Inspect the robot and work envelope to be sure no potentially
hazardous conditions exist. Be sure the area is clean and free of
water, oil, debris, etc.
• Be sure that all safeguards are in place. Check all safety equipment
for proper operation. Repair or replace any non-functioning safety
equipment immediately.
• Do not enter the robot cell while it is in automatic operation. Be sure
that only the person holding the programming pendant enters the
workcell.
• Check the E-Stop button on the programming pendant for proper
operation before programming. The robot must be placed in
Emergency Stop (E-Stop) mode whenever it is not in use.
• Back up all programs and jobs onto suitable media before program
changes are made. To avoid loss of information, programs, or jobs, a
backup must always be made before any service procedures are
done and before any changes are made to options, accessories, or
equipment.
• Any modifications to PART 1, System Section, of the robot controller
concurrent I/O program can cause severe personal injury or death,
as well as damage to the robot! Do not make any modifications to

taken when making these modifications. All modifications made to
the controller will change the way the robot operates and can cause
severe personal injury or death, as well as damage the robot and
other parts of the system. Double-check all modifications under
every mode of robot operation to ensure that you have not created
hazards or dangerous situations.
• Check and test any new or modified program at low speed for at
least one full cycle.
• This equipment has multiple sources of electrical supply. Electrical
interconnections are made between the controller and other
equipment. Disconnect and lockout/tagout all electrical circuits
before making any modifications or connections.
