systems
Note 2) JIS B 8370: General Rules for Pneumatic Equipment
Warning
Caution :
Operator error could result in injury or equipment damage.
Warning :
Operator error could result in serious injury or loss of life.
Danger :
In extreme conditions, there is a possible result of serious injury or loss of life.
These safety instructions are intended to prevent a hazardous situation and/or

ISO 4414
Note 1)
, JIS B 8370
Note 2)
and other safety practices.
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.
2.
Only trained personnel should operate pneumatically operated machinery and
equipment.
Compressed air can be dangerous if handled incorrectly. Assembly, handling or repair of pneumatic
systems should be performed by trained and experienced operators.
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 after confirmation of
safe locked-out control positions.
2. When equipment is to be removed, confirm the safety process as mentioned above. Cut the supply
pressure for this equipment and exhaust all residual compressed air in the system.
3. Before machinery/equipment is restarted, take measures to prevent shooting-out of cylinder piston
rod, etc. (Bleed air into the system gradually to create back pressure.)
4.
Contact SMC if the product is to be used in any of the following conditions:
1. Conditions and environments beyond the given specifications, or if product is used outdoors.
2. Installation on equipment in conjunction with atomic energy, railway, air navigation, vehicles, medical
equipment, food and beverages, recreation equipment, emergency stop circuits, press applications, or
safety equipment.
3. An application which has the possibility of having negative effects on people, property, or animals, and
therefore requires special safety analysis.
