① The compatibility of pneumatic equipment is the responsibility of the person who designs the pneumatic
system or decides its specifications.
Since the products specified here are used in various operating conditions, their compatibility for the specific
pneumatic system must be based on specifications or after analysis and/or tests to meet your specific
requirements. The expected perfomance and safety assurance will be the responsibility of the person who has
determined the compatibility of the system. This person should continuously review the suitability of all items
specified, referring to the latest catalog information with a view to giving due consideration to any possibility of
equipment failure when configuring a system.
② Only trained personnel should operate pneumatically operated machinery and equipment.
Compressed air can be dangerous if an operator is unfamiliar with it. Assembly, handling or repair of pneumatic
systems should be performed by trained and experienced operators.
(A trained and experienced operator is required to have understanding of JIS B 8370 “General Rules for
Pneumatic Equipments” and other safety regulations.)
③ Do not service machinery/equipment or attempt to remove components until safety is confirmed.
１．Inspection and maintenance of machinery/equipment should only be performed once measures to prevent
falling or runaway of the driver objects have been confirmed.
２．When equipment is to be removed, confirm the safety process as mentioned above. Cut the supply
pressure for this equipment, exhaust all residual compressed air in the system and relieve all energy
(liquid pressure, spring force, capacitor, gravity).
３．Before machinery/equipment is restarted, take measures to prevent shooting-out of cylinder piston rod,
etc.
