3. Safety 3.2 General safety precautions This section contains general safety precautions. WARNING Using a charger different from the one supplied by the manufacturer can cause a fire. • Use only the original charger. WARNING Lithium battery packs may get hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury if they are abused electrically or mechanically.
MiR1000 is a partly completed machine as defined in the EU machinery directive and does not have a CE mark. A correctly installed MiR1000 is covered by the CE mark of MiR Fleet PC. However, a CE marked product does not guarantee a CE marked setup. It is the responsibility of the commissioner to commission MiR1000 safely.
Ensuring the safety of nearby personnel when the robot is accelerating, braking, and maneuvering. Operators Operators have thorough knowledge of MiR1000 and of the safety precautions presented in the user guide of MiR Fleet PCMiR1000 and operating guide of MiR1000. Operators have the following main tasks: • Servicing and maintaining MiR1000.
The risk assessment must cover not only MiR1000 itself, but also take into account potential load transfer stations, work cells, and the work environment. MiR does not take any responsibility for the creation of the risk assessment, but we provide information and guidelines that may be used in the MiR500 and MiR1000 Risk Analysis Guide found on the Distributor Site under Manuals.
MiR1000 or walks towards MiR1000 while it is driving in reverse. MiR1000 will only drive in reverse when parking or picking up a cart or undocking from a marker such as MiR Charge 48V. • Risk of being run over, drawn in, trapped, or impacted when a person stands in the path of MiR1000 or walks towards MiR1000 while it is in motion.
