6.1 General Notes on Startup
CAUTION
Danger of crushing from moving pusher!
There is a risk of crushing and minor injuries between the moving pusher of the M-228 / M-229
and a stationary part or obstacle.

Keep your fingers at a safe distance from the motion range of the pusher.

Do not place any objects in areas where they could be caught by the pusher.
NOTICE
Unintentional motion!
The M-228 / M-229 may move unintentionally when connecting it to the controller. Faulty
software and incorrect operation of the software may also cause unintended movements.

Do not place any objects in areas where they can be caught by moving parts.

Before connecting the M-228 / M-229, check whether a macro is defined as the startup
macro in the controller and cancel the selection of the startup macro if necessary.
NOTICE
Damage if the wrong controller is connected!
Connecting a linear actuator to an unsuitable controller can damage the linear actuator or
controller.

Connect a linear actuator with stepper motor to a stepper motor controller only.
