1.1 Correct
usage
The HPLA linear actuator can be used, amongst other things, for:
positioning, transporting, feeding, removing, palletising, loading, unloading, handling and mani-
pulating workpieces or tools.
As it can be used in widely differing areas, responsibility for use in a specific application rests
with the user.
The user must ensure that in mounting workpieces or tools on the carriage of the linear actuator
there is no danger to personnel and/or possible damage to property. This also applies, for
example, in the case of the timing belt breaking.
The linear actuator may only be used in those areas which are inaccessible to personnel during
operation.
If the linear actuator is used in areas which are accessible to personnel, then it must be installed
in such a way that they are not endangered during operation.
1.2 Identification
of
residual dangers and danger areas
If there are residual dangers for personnel or property, in spite of the linear actuator being used
under safely constructed conditions, then the user must indicate these residual dangers by the
use of signs and written rules of conduct.
Safety notices used
Danger
means that a dangerous situation can lead to death or serious physical injury if not
otherwise prevented by corresponding safety measures.
Warning
means that a possibly dangerous situation can lead to possible serious injury if not
otherwise prevented by corresponding safety measures.
Caution
means that a possible dangerous situation can lead to minor physical injury or
damage to property if not otherwise prevented by corresponding safety measures.
Note
is an important piece of information on the product, its handling or the respective
section of the handbook to which you should refer in particular.
1.3 General dangers resulting from non-observance of the safety notices
This machine component has been constructed using the latest technology and is safe in
operation. However, dangers can arise through the machine if operators who are untrained or
have not at least been instructed in the machine operation, use it incorrectly or put it to improper
use.
As a consequence, there may be a risk of:
1. Danger to the life and limb of the user or a third party
2. Damage to the machine and the user's other property
On installing the linear actuator in a machine, the safety regulations given in this introduction
must be sensibly integrated into the operating instructions for the machine.
