• Only connect the manipulator to the corresponding robot controller. Do not impair safety functions Additional components (e.g. cables and hoses) not supplied by KUKA may be integrated into the industrial robot. If the safety functions are not taken into consideration, this may result in death, severe injuries or damage to property.
KR 3 D1200-2 HM • The ground conductor and the equipotential bonding cable are suffi- ciently rated and correctly connected. • The connecting cables are correctly connected and the connectors are locked. 3.5.4 Manual mode General Manual mode is the mode for setup work. Setup work is all the tasks that have to be carried out on the industrial robot to enable automatic opera- tion.
KR 3 D1200-2 HM Setup work in T2 If it is necessary to carry out setup work from inside the safeguarded area, the following must be taken into consideration in the operating mode Manual High Velocity (T2): • This mode may only be used if the application requires a test at a ve- locity higher than that possible in T1 mode.

KR 3 D1200-2 HM DANGER Danger to life and limb due to live parts The robot system must be disconnected from the mains power supply prior to work on live parts. It is not sufficient to trigger an EMERGENCY STOP or safety stop, because parts remain live. Death or severe inju- ries may result.
Use current safety data sheets Knowledge of the safety data sheets of the substances and mixtures used is a prerequisite for the safe use of KUKA products. Death, injuries or damage to property may otherwise result. • Request up-to-date safety data sheets from the manufacturers of hazardous substances regularly.
