General Safety Instructions - Bosch rexroth 1 Series Instruction Manual

2.5 General safety instructions

• Observe applicable accident prevention and environmental protection regulations.
• Observe the safety regulations of the country in which the product
is used/operated.
• Use Rexroth products only when they are in good working order.
• Observe all notices on the product.
• Do not install, operate, remove or maintain Rexroth products if under the influence
of alcohol, drugs or medication that may affect your reaction time.
• Only use genuine Rexroth accessories and spare parts to ensure there is no hazard
to persons from unsuitable spare parts.
• Observe the technical data and ambient conditions specified in the product
documentation.
• If unsuitable products are installed or used in applications that are of relevance
to safety, unexpected operating conditions may occur in the application, which
could result in personal injury or property damage. For this reason, only use
the product in safety-relevant applications if this use is expressly indicated
and approved in the product documentation, e.g. in explosion protection areas
or in safety-related parts of a control system (functional safety).
• Only commission the product if it has been determined that the end product
(e.g. machinery/system) in which the Rexroth products are installed complies
with the country-specific provisions, safety regulations and standards for
the application.
• Use tools appropriate for the work being performed and wear appropriate
protective clothing to prevent punctures and cuts (e.g. when removing protective
covers, disassembly).
• There is a risk of entanglement when operating the axial piston unit with a bare
shaft end. Check whether or not your machine requires additional safety measures
for your application. If necessary, make sure these are appropriately implemented.
• Depending on the type of control used, electromagnetic effects can be produced
when using solenoids. Applying a direct voltage signal (DC) to solenoids does not
create electromagnetic interference (EMI) nor is the solenoid affected by EMI.
Potential electromagnetic interference (EMI) exists if the solenoid is energized with
a modulated direct current (e.g. PWM signal). Appropriate testing and measures
should be taken by the machine manufacturer to ensure other components
or operators (e.g. with pacemaker) are not affected by this potential.
