WARNING
When the IMS-LM-S stage is installed or combined with other instruments
in a machine, additional testing to directive 2006/42/EC may be
required. It is the responsibility of the end-user or integrator to perform
a risk-analysis and the necessary tests to conform to the EC directives.
Newport is not liable for damages caused by not executing this
responsibility.

WARNING
The motion of objects of all types carries potential risks for operators.
Ensure the protection of operators by prohibiting access to the dangerous
area and by informing the personnel of the potential risks involved.
WARNING
The magnetic channel included in this device has the potential to disrupt
pacemakers. Consequently, it is recommended that individuals maintain a
distance of 1 meter or more from the stage as a precautionary measure.
WARNING
Do not use this stage when its motor is emitting smoke or is unusually
hot to the touch or is emitting any unusual odor or noise or is in any
other abnormal state.
Stop using the stage immediately, switch off the motor power and then
disconnect the electronics power supply.
After checking that smoke is no longer being emitted contact your
Newport service facility and request repairs. Never attempt to repair the
stage yourself as this can be dangerous.
