Falling and violently ejected components can cause serious injuries
and even death.
• Take appropriate protective measures to secure the danger zone.
• Never step into the danger zone during operation.

2.12.3 Protection against dangerous movements

Unexpected movements
Residual energy in the system may cause serious injuries while
working with the product.
• Perform maintenance, conversion and attachment work outside of
the danger zone defined by the movement range.
• To avoid accidents and/or material damage, human access to the
movement range of the machine must be restricted. Limit/prevent
accidental access for people in this area due through technical
safety measures. The protective cover and protective fence must be
rigid enough to withstand the maximum possible movement
energy. EMERGENCY STOP switches must be easily and quickly
accessible. Before starting up the machine or automated system,
check that the EMERGENCY STOP system is working. Prevent
operation of the machine if this protective equipment does not
function correctly.
