CAUTION 

Risk of injury due to impurities (e.g. metal chips) in the exhaust 
and air purge connections of the clamping station. 

  Take appropriate protective measures to secure the danger 

zone. 

  Wear personal protective equipment (safety goggles). 

  

  

 

 

CAUTION 

Risk of injury due to compressed air hoses coming loose when 
connected improperly. 

  Use check valves or safety switches. 

  Take appropriate protective measures to secure the danger 

zone. 

  

  

 

 

CAUTION 

There is a risk of limbs being crushed by moving parts during 
manual loading and unloading and the clamping procedure. 

  Do not reach into the clamping pin holder. 

  Use loading devices. 

  Wear protective gloves. 

  Exercise caution when handling loading devices and with 

transport equipment. 

  

  

 

 

CAUTION 

Risk of slipping or falling if the quick-change pallet system's 
operational environment is not clean (e.g. contaminated with 
cooling lubricants or oil). 

  Ensure that the working environment is clean before starting 

assembly and installation work. 

  Wear suitable safety boots. 

  Follow the safety and accident-prevention regulations when 

operating the quick-change pallet system, especially when 
working with machine tools and other technical equipment.
