may result in injury.
• When installing the motor, gearhead in the equipment, exercise caution not
to pinch your fingers or other parts of your body between the equipment and
motor or gearhead. Injury may result.
• Provide a cover on the rotating part (output shaft). Failure to do so may result in
injury.
• Securely install the load on the output shaft. Inappropriate installation may result
in injury.
• When an abnormality is noted, turn off the power immediately. Failure to do so
may result in fire, electric shock or injury.
• The motor surface temperature may exceed 70 °C (158 °F) even
under normal operating conditions. If the operator is allowed to
