• Do not touch the motor or driver when conducting the insulation
resistance measurement or dielectric strength test. Accidental contact
may result in electric shock.
• Do not disassemble or modify the motor. Doing so may result in
electric shock, injury or damage to equipment. Refer all such internal
inspections and repairs to the branch or sales office from which you
purchased the product.
• Only qualified and educated personnel should be allowed to perform
installation, connection, operation and inspection/troubleshooting of
the product. Handling by unqualified and uneducated personnel may
result in fire, electric shock, injury, or damage to equipment.
• The motor is Class I equipment. Install the motor so as to avoid
contact with hands, or ground it to prevent the risk of electric shock.
• Use a motor, gearhead, and driver only in the specified combination.
Failure to do so may result in fire, electric shock, or damage to
equipment.
• Always turn off the power before performing maintenance or
inspection. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
• Do not use the motor beyond the specifications. Doing so may result
in fire, electric shock, injury or damage to equipment.
• Do not touch the motor while operating or immediately after
stopping. The surface of the motor is hot and it may cause a skin
burn(s).

• When installing the motor in equipment, exercise caution not to
pinch your fingers or other parts of your body between the product
and equipment. Injury may result.
• Do not touch the rotating part (output shaft) while operating the
motor. Doing so may cause injury.

may result in injury.
• Securely install a load on the output shaft. Inappropriate installation
may result in injury.
• Be sure to ground the motor and driver to prevent them from being
