company requirements and the regulations that apply in the country where
the product is being used must be observed. You must not make any design
modifications to the KLE yourself. We will assume no liability for any resulting
damage or injury.
You may only assemble, operate and maintain the KLE if:

The compact Linear Unit has been integrated properly and safely into the
completed machine,
▪
You have carefully read and understood the assembly guide,
▪
You are appropriately qualified,
▪
You are authorised to do so by your company,

You are using only original equipment from the manufacturer.
Unsafe or inappropriate use of the compact Linear Unit runs a risk of serious
injury through crushing and cuts.
1. During transportation
Observe the handling instructions on the packaging. Until it is assembled, the
product must be stored in its original packaging, protected from moisture and
damage. Ensure that moving parts are secured when in transit and cannot
cause any damage.
2. During assembly
Always deactivate the power to the relevant system part and ensure it is not live
before installing the product and/or plugging it in or unplugging it. Ensure the
system cannot be switched back on. Lay cables and lines in such a way that
they cannot be damaged and do not represent a trip hazard. Avoid areas that
pose slip, trip and fall hazards.
3. During commissioning
Allow the product to acclimatise for a few hours before starting to use it. Ensure
that the partly completed machine is securely and safely integrated into the
completed machine. Only start up a product that has been installed in full.
4. During operation
Ensure that only persons who have been authorised by the operator have
access to the immediate operating area of the system. This also applies when
the system is not in operation. It must not be possible to actuate moving parts
unintentionally. During emergencies, malfunctions or other irregularities, deac-
tivate the system and ensure that it cannot be switched back on. Prevent the
possibility of persons becoming trapped in the system’s hazard zone.
5. During cleaning
Close all openings with suitable protective equipment to ensure that cleaning
agents cannot penetrate the system. Do not use aggressive cleaning sub-
stances. Do not use a high-pressure cleaner when cleaning the system.
6. During maintenance and servicing work
Carry out the prescribed maintenance work at the intervals stipulated in the
user guide. Ensure that no cable links, connections or components are removed
while the system is live and under pressure. Ensure the system cannot be
switched back on.
7. During disposal
Dispose of the product in accordance with the national and international regula-
tions that apply in your country.
