2.1 Limitation of liability
This chapter provides an overview of important safety precautions
and information necessary for safe and trouble-free installation,
operation and maintenance.
Disregarding this Manual and safety precautions specified therein
may result in considerable danger and possible serious injury or
death.
2.1.1 Intended use
The actuator has been designed and built exclusively for its intended
purpose as described in these instructions.
WARNING

Any utilization of this actuator beyond its intended purpose may
lead to potentially hazardous situations.
Therefore:
• Strictly adhere to all safety precautions and instructions in this
manual.
• Do not allow this actuator to be subjected to weather condi-
tions, strong UV rays, corrosive or explosive air media as well
as other aggressive media.
• Do not modify, retool or change the structural design or indi-
vidual components of the actuator.
• Never use the actuator outside of the technical application and
operational limits.
Any injury, damage or loss caused by violation of these instructions

2.2 Responsibility of the
owner and processor
The actuator is designed for personal use and is also used in com-

The processor is the contracting partner of the reseller or the
manufacturer. The processor installs the actuator in a complete sys-
tem (application).
The owner of the system is therefore subject to requirements of
the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
