Safety Instructions
These safety instructions are intended to prevent a hazardous situation and/or equipment
damage. These instructions indicate the level of potential hazard by label of "Caution",
"Warning" or "Danger". To ensure safety, be sure to observe ISO 4414 Note 1),
JIS B 8370 Note 2) and other safety practices.
1
The compatibility of pneumatic equipment is the responsibility of the person
who designs the pneumatic system or decides its specifications.
Since the products specified here are used in various operating conditions, their compatibility for the
specific pneumatic system must be based on specifications or after analysis and/or tests to meet your
specific requirements.
2
Only trained personnel should operate pneumatically operated machinery
and equipment.
Compressed air can be dangerous if an operator is unfamiliar with it. Assembly, handling or repair of
pneumatic systems should be performed by trained and experienced operators.
3
Do not service machinery/equipment or attempt to remove component until
safety is confirmed.
1.Inspection and maintenance of machinery/equipment should only be performed after confirmation of
safe locked-out control positions.
2.When equipment is to be removed, confirm the safety process as mentioned above. Cut the supply
pressure for this equipment and exhaust all residual compressed air in the system.
3.Before machinery/equipment is re-started, take measures to prevent shooting/out of cylinder piston
rod etc. (Bleed air into the system gradually to create back-pressure.)
4
Contact SMC if the product is to be used in any of the following conditions:
1.Conditions and environments beyond the given specifications, or if product is used outdoors.
2.Installation on equipment in conjuction with atomic energy, railway, air navigation, vehicles, medical
equipment, food and beverage, recreation equipment, emergency stop circuits, press applications, or
safety equipment.
3.An application which has the possibility of having negative effects on people, property, or animals,
requiring special safety analysis.
