It is the purchaser’s responsibility to ensure that all local, county, state,
and national codes, regulations, rules, or laws relating to safety and safe
operating conditions for each installation are met and followed.
We suggest that you obtain and review a copy of the ANSI/RIA National
Safety Standard for Industrial Robots and Robot Systems (ANSI/RIA
R15.06-1999). You can obtain this document from the Robotic Industries
Association (RIA) at the following address:

Ultimately, well-trained personnel are the best safeguard against
accidents and damage that can result from improper operation of the robot
system. The customer is responsible for providing adequately trained
personnel to operate, program, and maintain the robot cell.
NEVER
ALLOW UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE, PROGRAM, OR
REPAIR THE ROBOT SYSTEM!
We recommend approved Motoman training courses for all personnel
involved with the operation, programming, or repair of the robot system.
This training is designed to familiarize personnel with the safe and correct
operation of the robot system.

General Safeguarding Tips
All operators, programmers, plant and tooling engineers, maintenance
personnel, supervisors, and anyone working near the robot must become
familiar with the operation of this equipment. All personnel involved with
the operation of the equipment must understand potential dangers of
operation. General safeguarding tips are as follows:
• Improper operation can result in personal injury and/or damage to
the equipment. Only trained personnel familiar with the operation of
this robot, the operator's manuals, the system equipment, and
options and accessories should be permitted to operate this robot
system.
• Do not enter the robot cell while it is in automatic operation.
Programmers must have the teach pendant when they enter the
robot cell.
• Improper connections can damage the robot. All connections must
be made within the standard voltage and current ratings of the robot
I/O (Inputs and Outputs).
• The robot must be placed in Emergency Stop (E-Stop) mode
whenever it is not in use.
