Safety Instructions Explanation of DANGER! Safety Instruc- tions Indicates an immediate danger. ▶ Death or serious injury may result if appropriate precautions are not taken. WARNING! Indicates a possibly dangerous situation. ▶ Death or serious injury may result if appropriate precautions are not taken. CAUTION! Indicates a situation where damage or injury could occur.
Intended Use The device is to be used exclusively for its intended purpose. The device is intended exclusively for the mechanical cleaning of Fronius robot welding torches in automatic mode. Utilization for any other purpose, or in any other manner, shall be deemed to be "not in accordance with the intended purpose."...
Always integrate the device into a superordinate safety system in a secured area. If this area has to be accessed for preparatory or maintenance work, ensure that the entire system is shut down for the duration of access to this area and remains shut down to prevent unintended operation, for example, as a result of a control error.
EMC Measures In certain cases, even though a device complies with the standard limit values for emissions, it may affect the application area for which it was designed (e.g., when there is sensitive equipment at the same location, or if the site where the device is installed is close to either radio or television receivers).
Safety measures Only operate the device when all safety devices are fully functional. If the safety in normal opera- devices are not fully functional, there is a danger of: tion Serious or fatal injury to the operator or third parties Damage to the device and other material assets belonging to the operating company Inefficient operation of the device...
