• The manipulator’s speed is limited to max. 250 mm/s when the operating
mode selector is in the position
Manual mode with reduced speed . This
should be the normal position when entering the working space.

• Pay attention to the rotating axes of the manipulator. Keep away from axes
to not get entangled with hair or clothing. Also, be aware of any danger that
may be caused by rotating tools or other devices mounted on the manipulator
or inside the cell.
