LS10-B Manipulator 1. Safety

1.3 Operation Safety

The following items are safety precautions for qualified Operator personnel:
■ Please carefully read the Safety Requirements in the "Safety Manual" before
operating the robot system. Operating the robot system without understanding
the safety requirements is extremely hazardous and may result in serious bodily
injury and/or severe equipment damage to the robot system.
■ Do not enter the operating area of the Manipulator while the power to the robot
system is turned ON. Entering the operating area with the power ON is extremely
hazardous and may cause serious safety problems as the Manipulator may move
even if it seems to be stopped.
■ Before operating the robot system, make sure that no one is inside the
safeguarded area. The robot system can be operated in the mode for teaching
even when someone is inside the safeguarded area.
WARNING
The motion of the Manipulator is always in restricted (low speed and low power)
status to secure the safety of an operator. However, operating the robot system
while someone is inside the safeguarded area is extremely hazardous and may
result in serious safety problems in case that the Manipulator moves unexpectedly.
■ Immediately press the Emergency Stop switch whenever the Manipulator moves
abnormally while the robot system is operated. Continuing the operation while
the Manipulator moves abnormally is extremely hazardous and may result in
serious bodily injury and/or severe equipment damage to the robot system.
■ To shut off power to the robot system, disconnect the power plug from the power
source. Be sure to connect the AC power cable to a power receptacle.
DO NOT connect it directly to a factory power source.
■ Before performing any replacement procedure, turn OFF the Controller and
related equipment, and then disconnect the power plug from the power source.
Performing any replacement procedure with the power ON is extremely hazardous
and may result in electric shock and/or malfunction of the robot system.
WARNING
■ Do not connect or disconnect the motor connectors while the power to the robot
system is turned ON. Connecting or disconnecting the motor connectors with the
power ON is extremely hazardous and may result in serious bodily injury as the
Manipulator may move abnormally, and also may result in electric shock and/or
malfunction of the robot system.
