How to use the brake release unit
CAUTION
■
Be careful of the arm falling when releasing the brake.
While the brake is being released, the Manipulator’s arm falls by its own weight.
The arm falling may cause hands and fingers to be caught and/or may cause
equipment damage to or malfunction of the Manipulator.
■
If the arm you released its brake moves awkwardly or faster than usual, stop the
operation promptly and contact the supplier of your region. The brake release
unit may be broken.
If you keep operating the Manipulator, it may lead to the breakdown of the
Manipulator or you may get your hand or fingers caught.
