About the Safety Precautions

Keep in mind:
Safety first! Always!
DANGER
High voltage and/or electrical shock
Touching live wires causes death or serious injuries!
• Consider any power cable as connected to live power, unless having proven the opposite!
• Make sure that neither end of cable is connected to live power!
• Make sure that power source cannot be engaged while work is in process!
• Obey lock-out/tag-out procedures!
• Make sure to securely lock any power engaging equipment against unintentional engagement and
tag it with your name!
Requirements
• Make sure that all associated devices and components are installed according to local regulations.
• Be aware that, by principle, an electronic apparatus can not be considered fail-safe. Therefore, you
must make sure that any machine/apparatus has been fitted with independent monitoring and safety
equipment. If the machine/apparatus should break down, if it is operated incorrectly, if the control unit
breaks down or if the cables break or get disconnected, etc., the complete drive system must return –
and be kept – in a safe operating mode.
• Be aware that you are not entitled to perform any repair on components supplied by maxon motor.
