2.8 General hazards / residual risks
Despite the safe design of the linear module and the technical protective
measures taken, there still remain residual risks that cannot be avoided and
which present a non-obvious residual risk when operating the linear module.
Observe the safety instructions in this chapter and in the other sections of this
manual to avoid damage to property and dangerous situations for the personnel.
2.8.1 General hazards at the workplace
The linear modules have been built according to the state-of-the-art and the
applicable health and safety requirements. Nevertheless, improper use of the
linear modules may cause the following hazards to the personnel:
danger to life and limb of the operator or third parties,
on the linear modules themselves,
property damage.
Always keep the assembly instructions ready at hand at the workplace!
Please, also observe:
The general and local regulations on accident prevention and
environmental protection.
Observe the safety information sheet for the linear module.
2.8.2 Danger due to mechanical hazards
WARNING
Danger - Do not use in unsuitable environment!
The linear modules are designed for use in
non-
explosive atmospheres.
Do
not
use the linear module in potentially explosive atmospheres!
CAUTION
Risk of injuries due to uncontrolled parts movements!
When connecting the linear module to the control unit or when operating the
linear module sudden, unexpected movements may occur which can cause
personal injury or property damage.
Only qualified personnel may work with or on the linear module.
Read the assembly instructions carefully before carrying out any work on
