2.2 Responsibility of the
owner and processor
The device is designed for commercial applications by its
owner or processor. The processor is the contracting part-
ner of the reseller or the manufacturer. The processor installs
the device in a complete system (application).
The owner or processor of the system is therefore subject to
the requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
In addition to the safety instructions in this manual, the
owner or processor must do the following concerning these
safety and accident prevention guidelines and environmental
protection regulations applicable to the site of the system’s
installation:
• Inform themselves of applicable industrial safety regula-
tions. They must also determine additional hazards that
arise due to the specific working conditions prevailing at
the site where the device is installed using risk assess-
ment. The risk assessment must be implemented in the
form of work instructions for device operation.
• Confirm that the work instructions created for the system,
including the device satisfy current legal requirements and
must alter the instructions accordingly.
• Clearly regulate and specify the responsibilities for installa-
tion, operation, maintenance, and cleaning.
• Ensure that all employees who deal with the device have
read and understood this manual.
• Provide personnel with the required protective equipment.
• Provide training for personnel at regular intervals and in-
form personnel of the hazards.
In addition, the owner or processors must ensure that the
device is in adequate working condition. They must do the
following:
• Ensure that the maintenance intervals described in these
instructions are complied with.
• Have all safety devices inspected regularly for function and
completeness.

Heed the safety instructions listed here, and the warnings in
sub- sequent chapters of this manual, to reduce health haz-

WARNING
Crush hazard
Do not let any object or person come in contact with the
lead screw and/or protection tube and/or the front and rear
attachment. Risk of damage to the linear actuator caused by
static and dynamic overloading of the actuator. Do not use the
actuator beyond the permissible operaring data.
WARNING
Pinch hazard
When the actuator runs into fixed objects, the driving force can
cause personal injury. If the actuator is left unattended, check
that the full stroke length is free of obstacles and that there is
nobody in the stroke area. Alternatively, provide a means of
disconnetting all conductors from the mains power supply.
