●
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 and workpiece, always firmly support and
secure them in place. Falling, dropping, or abnormal operation of the
product creates the risk of personal injury.
●
Never attempt to modify the product. Abnormal operation can lead to injury.
●
Never attempt inappropriate disassembly, assembly, or repair of the
product relating to basic construction, or to its performance or functions.
This can lead to injury, etc.
●
While the product is in operation, avoid touching it with your hands or
otherwise approaching too close except for specified operations. Also, do
not attempt to make any adjustments to internal or attached
mechanisms, or to perform any type of adjustment (disconnecting tubes
or sealed plugs, adjustment of the product's mounting position, etc.)
while the product is in operation.
Falling, dropping, or abnormal operation of the product creates the risk of
personal injury.
●
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 of a 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 to the device and before starting operation, always
conduct a safety check of the area of machine operation. Unintentional
supply of air creates the risk of injury due to contact with moving parts.
●
Do not allow the product to be thrown into fire. Doing so creates the risk
of explosion, resulting in the release of toxic gasses.
●
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 conducting maintenance, inspection, repair, replacement, or any
other similar procedure, always completely cut off all air connections 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 create system designs that prevent damage to
machinery or injury to personnel when the machine is shut down due to
an emergency stop or electrical power failure.
●
Always check the catalog and other reference materials for correct
product piping. Improper piping creates the risk of abnormal operation of
the actuator.
●
When the device not used for long periods (over 30 days), it is possible
that the contacting parts may have become stuck leading to slow
operation or sudden movements, and it will creates the risk of injury.
Check for proper operation a minimum of once every 30 days.
●
Do not use the product at the beach in direct sunlight, near mercury
lamp, or near equipment that generates ozone. Ozone causes rubber
components to deteriorate resulting in reduced performance, or a
limitation or stop of functions.
●
Do not use any type of medium that is not specifically stipulated in the
specifications. Using a non-specified medium could lead to short term loss
of function, 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 contacting parts
may have become stuck, resulting in equipment operation delays or in
sudden movements. Before these initial operations, always run a test to
check that operating performance is normal.
