■
This product was designed and manufactured for use in general industrial machinery.
■
When selecting and handling equipment, the system designer or another person with sufficient knowledge and experience should
always read the safety precautions, catalog, instruction manual and other literature before commencing operation. Improper handling
is dangerous.
■
After reading the instruction manual, catalog, and other documentation, always store them in a location that allows easy availability
for reference to users of this product.
■
Whenever transferring or lending the product to another person, always attach the catalog, instruction manual, and other information
to the product where they are easily visible in order to ensure that the new user can use the product safely and properly.
■
The danger, warning and caution items listed under these safety precautions do not cover all possible contingencies. Read the
catalog and instruction manual carefully, and always keep safety first.
●
Do not use the product for the purposes listed below:
1. Medical equipment related to maintenance or management
of human lives or bodies.
2. Machines or equipment designed for the purpose of moving
or transporting people.
3. Critical safety components in mechanical devices.
This product has not been planned or designed for purposes
that require high levels of safety. Using the product in any of
the ways described above creates the risk of loss of human
life.
●
Do not use the product in locations with or near dangerous
substances such as flammable or ignitable substances.
This product is not explosion-proof. Doing so creates the risk of
ignition and fire.
●
When mounting the product, always make sure they are firmly
supported and secured in place. Falling, dropping, or abnormal
operation of the product creates the risk of personal injury.
●
Never attempt to modify the product. Doing so can cause
malfunctions and create the risk of personal injury, electric
shock, fire, etc.
●
Never attempt inappropriate disassembly, assembly or repair
of the product relating to basic construction, or to its
performance or to functions. Doing so creates the risk of injury,
electric shock, fire, etc.
●
Do not splash water on the product. Spraying it with water,
washing it, or using it under water could result in malfunction of
the product leading to injury, electric shocks, fire, etc.
●
While the product is in operation, avoid touching it with your
hands or otherwise approaching too close. Also, do not attempt
to make any adjustments to internal or attached mechanisms,
or to perform any type of adjustment (disconnecting cable
connectors, adjusting pressure switches, disconnecting tubes
or sealed plugs, adjusting the product's mounting position, etc.)
while the product is in operation.
There is a risk of personal injury if the product falls or operates
abnormally.
●
Because Koganei products are designed for use under a wide
variety of conditions, decisions concerning conformance with a
particular system should be made upon the careful evaluation
by the person in charge of system design.
Assurances concerning expected system performance and
safety are the responsibility of the designer who decides
system conformity. Be sure to use the latest catalogs and
technical materials to study and evaluate specification details,
to consider the possibility of machine breakdown, and to
configure a system that ensures fail-safe safety and reliability.
●
Do not use the product in excess of its specification range.
Doing so creates the risk of product breakdown, loss of
function, or damage. It could also drastically reduce operating
life.
●
Before supplying air or electricity to the device and before
starting operation, always conduct a safety check of the area of
machine operation. Unintentional supply of air or electricity
creates the risk of injury due to contact with moving parts.
●
Do not touch terminals, switches, or other parts, while power is
turned on.
Doing so creates the risk of electric shock and malfunction.
●
Do not allow the product to be thrown into fire. Doing so creates
the risk of explosion resulting in the release of toxic gases.
●
Do not sit on the product, place your foot on it, or place other
objects on it.
Doing so creates the risk of injury due to tripping or the product
tipping over or falling, resulting in product damage and
abnormal, erratic, or runaway operation.
●
Before c onduc ting maintenance, inspec tion, repair,
replacement, or any other similar procedure, always completely
cut off the air supply and confirm that residual pressure inside
the product or in piping connected to the product is
atmospheric pressure. In particular, be aware that residual air
will still be in the compressor or storage tank.
The actuator may move abruptly if residual air pressure
remains inside the piping, causing injury.
●
Use safety circuits or design a system that prevents damage to
machinery or injury to personnel when the machine is shut
down due to an emergency stop or electrical power failure.
●
Before performing any kind of wiring work, be sure to turn off
power. Failure to do so creates the risk of electric shock.
●
Do not allow lead wires and other cords to become damaged.
Allowing a cord to become cut, bent excessively, pulled, rolled
up, placed under heavy objects, or squeezed between two
objects creates the risk of current leaks or defective continuity
that can lead to fire, electric shock, or abnormal operation.
●
Do not connect or disconnect connectors while power is turned
on.
Also, never apply unnecessary force to connectors. Doing so
creates the risk of personal injury, device damage, and electric
shock due to abnormal machine operation.
●
Always check the catalog and other reference materials for
correct product wiring and piping. Improper wiring and piping
creates the risk of damage to and abnormal operation of the
actuator, etc.
●
After completing wiring work, check to make sure that all
connections are correct before turning on power.
●
Be careful when wiring, do not reverse the polarity of wires.
Incorrect polarity may damage the pressure switch.
●
After completing piping work, check to make sure that the
circuit is correct before supplying air.
●
Do not use any type of medium that is not specifically stipulated
in the specifications. Using a non-specified medium could lead
to loss of function in the short term, sudden degradation of
performance, and a reduced operating life.
●
In initial operations after the equipment has been idle for 48
hours or more, or has been in storage, there is a possibility that
