1.2.4.7 Work inside the working range of the robot
If work must be carried out within the work area of the robot, then the following
points must be observed:
NEVER, under any circumstances, stay beneath any of the robot's axes! There
is always a risk that the robot will move unexpectedly when robot axes are moved
using the enabling device or during other work inside the working range of the
robot.

WARNING
• The operating mode selector on the controller must be in the manual mode
position to render the enabling device operational and to block operation
from a computer link or remote control panel.
• The maximum speed of the robot is limited to 250 mm/s when the operating
mode selector is in the position Manual mode with reduced speed. This
should be the normal position when entering the working space.
The position Manual mode with full speed (100%) may only be used by
trained personnel who are aware of the risks that this entails. Manual mode
with full speed (100%) is not available in USA or Canada.
• Pay attention to the rotating axes of the robot. Keep away from axes to not
get entangled with hair or clothing. Also, be aware of any danger that may
be caused by rotating tools or other devices mounted on the robot or inside
the cell.
• Test the motor brake on each axis, according to the section
on page 35.
• To prevent anyone else from taking control of the robot, always put a safety
lock on the cell door and bring the enabling device with you when entering
the working space.
