including our products must be performed by an operator who is
appropriately trained and experienced.
 Do
not service or attempt to remove product
machinery/equipment until safety is confirmed.
1) The inspection and maintenance of machinery/equipment should only
be performed after measures to prevent falling or runaway of the driven
objects have been confirmed.
2) When the product is to be removed, confirm that the safety measures
as mentioned above are implemented and the power from any
appropriate source is cut, and read and understand the specific product
precautions of all relevant products carefully.
3) Before machinery/equipment is restarted, take measures to prevent

use outdoors or in a place exposed to direct sunlight.
2) Installation on equipment in conjunction with atomic energy, railways,
air navigation, space, shipping, vehicles, military, medical treatment,
combustions and recreation, or equipment in contact with food and
beverages, emergency stop circuits, clutch and brake circuits in press
applications, safety equipment or other applications unsuitable for the
standard specification described in the product catalogue.
3) An application which could have negative effects on people, property,
or animals requiring special safety analysis outside the scope of ISO
13849 described in this document.
4) Use in an interlock circuit, which requires the provision of double
interlock for possible failure by using a mechanical protective function,
and periodical checks to confirm proper operation.
 Always ensure compliance with relevant safety laws and standards.
 All electrical work must be carried out in a safe manner by a qualified
person in compliance with applicable national regulations.

3.3 Piping
Caution
 Before piping make sure to clean up chips, cutting oil, dust etc.
 When installing piping or fittings, ensure sealant material does not enter
inside the port. When using seal tape, leave 1.5 to 2 threads exposed on
the end of the pipe/fitting.
 Tighten fittings to the specified tightening torque.
3.4 Lubrication
Caution
 SMC products have been lubricated for life at manufacture, and do not
require lubrication in service.
 If a lubricant is used in the system, use turbine oil Class 1 (no additive),
Orange
ISO VG32. Once lubricant is used in the system, lubrication must be
continued because the original lubricant applied during manufacturing
will be washed away.
