2. Store in an area that is shaded from direct sunlight and has a temperature and humidity within
the specified range (
–10 C to 60 C and 35 to 85% no condensation or freezing).
3. Do not apply vibration or impact to the product during storage.
2.6 Maintenance
Warning
1. Do not disassemble or repair the product.
Fire or electric shock can result. Contact SMC if the disassembly of the product is required for
maintenance.
2. Before modifying or checking the wiring, the voltage should be checked with a tester 5 minutes
after the power supply has been turned off.
Failure to do so may result in electrical shock.
Caution
1. Perform maintenance and inspection according to the procedures indicated in the operation
manual.
Improper handling can cause an injury, damage, or the malfunc- tion of equipment and machinery.
2. Removal of equipment
Before equipment is removed, first confirm that measures are in place to prevent the dropping or
runaway of driven objects, etc. Proceed only after cutting off the electric power. When starting up
again, proceed with caution after confirming that conditions are safe.
3. Be sure to cut the power to the controller and discon- nect the electric actuator cable before
moving the electric actuator slider manually by hand.
If the slider is moved with the electric actuator and controller still connected, the induced voltage of the
motor will go to the control- ler, making it difficult to move the electric actuator smoothly. Moreover,
frequently moving the electric actuator slider may result in controller damage or malfunction due to the
induced voltage.

Lubrication
】
Caution
1. The product has been lubricated for life by the manufac- turer and does not require any further
lubrication.
When lubrication is applied, special grease must be used. Please read the maintenance manual of
each actuator.
2.7 Actuator with Lock
Warning
1. Do not use the lock as a safety brake or as a control that requires a locking force.
The lock used for the product with lock is designed to prevent the dropping of workpieces.
2. For vertical mounting, use the product with lock.
If the product is not equipped with a lock, the product will move and drop the workpiece when the
power is removed. Please ensure that your safe equipment designs include measures to prevent the
falling of workpieces.
3.
“Drop prevention” is a safety precaution that prevents a workpiece from dropping due to its
weight when the product operation is stopped and the power supply is turned off.
4. Do not apply an impact load or strong vibration while the lock is activated.
If an external impact load or strong vibration is applied to the prod- uct, the lock will lose its holding
force and damage to the sliding parts of the lock or a reduced service life may result. The same
adverse effects may also occur when the lock slips due to a force exceeding the holding force, as this
accelerates the wear of the lock.
