8. "SERVICE" mode
8.4 Limitations on robot operating speed
A major purpose of robot operation while the operator is working within the safety
enclosure is maintenance and adjustment of the robot. If a dangerous situation should
occur, the operator can easily avoid it if the robot operating speed is maintained within
250mm/sec.
The robot operating speed in "SERVICE" mode is therefore basically limited to below 3%
of maximum speed. However, if the robot operating speed has to be set higher than the
safety range while the operator is still within the safety enclosure, this speed limitation
can be cancelled provided you take responsibility for your own safety.

CAUTION
When operating the robot without using the safety functions explained in
sections 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4 while the operator is still within the safety enclosure,
it is important to take even more stringent safety precautions.
