A robot is heavy and extremely powerful regardless of its speed. A pause or long stop in
movement can be followed by a fast hazardous movement. Even if a pattern of movement is
predicted, a change in operation can be triggered by an external signal resulting in an
unexpected movement.
Therefore, it is important that all safety regulations are followed when entering safeguarded
space.
Before beginning work with the robot, make sure you are familiar with the safety regulations
described in Operating Manual - IRC5 With Flexpendant.
