Carry out work in the machine area only, if AC and/or DC supplies are switched off.
Switched off output stages or servo drive enablings are no suitable means of locking. In
the case of a malfunction the drive may accidentally be put into action.
This does not apply to drives with the special “Safe Torque-Off (STO)” features, see

Functional safety technology
.
Initial operation must be carried out with idle motors, to prevent mechanical damages for
example due to the wrong direction of rotation.
Electronic devices are never fail-safe. It is the user’s responsibility, in the case an
electrical device fails, to make sure the system is transferred into a secure state.
The servo drive and in particular the brake resistor, externally or internally, can assume
high temperatures, which may cause serious burns.
