Adept Cobra s800 Inverted Robot User’s Guide, Rev C
2.12 Qualification of Personnel
This manual assumes that all personnel have attended an Adept training course and have
a working knowledge of the system. The user must provide the necessary additional
training for all personnel who will be working with the system.
As noted in this user’s guide, certain procedures should be performed only by
skilled
or
instructed
persons. For a description of the level of qualification, Adept uses the standard
terms:
•
Skilled persons
have technical knowledge or sufficient experience to enable them
to avoid the dangers, electrical and/or mechanical.
•
Instructed persons
are adequately advised or supervised by skilled persons to
enable them to avoid the dangers, electrical and/or mechanical.
All personnel must observe sound safety practices during the installation, operation, and
testing of all electrically powered equipment. To avoid injury or damage to equipment,
always remove power by disconnecting the AC power from the source before attempting
any repair or upgrade activity. Use appropriate lockout procedures to reduce the risk of
power being restored by another person while you are working on the system.
DANGER:
Any person who programs, teaches, operates,
maintains or repairs the robot system must be trained and
demonstrate the competence to safely perform the
assigned task.
The user must get confirmation from every entrusted
person before they start working with the robot that the
person:
1. Has received the user’s guide.
2. Has read the user’s guide.
3. Understands the user’s guide and
4. Will work in the manner specified by the user’s guide.
