Insufficiently qualified staff may cause severe damage to persons or ma-
terial damage to machinery and equipment!
Therefore:
• All persons that may enter the operang area of the Arm need to have 
read and understood this documentaon, in parcular the chapter on 
safety. They need to be able to use their knowledge and experience to 
understand any risks the robot system may present and be adequately 
prudent in their behavior.
• The operator has to inform these persons explicitly about the limitaons 
and restricons of Panda. 
 WARNING
The operator of Panda can be e.g. the entrepreneur, director of the instute, the 
employer or a delegate responsible for the use of Panda. The operator is respon-
sible for compliance with regulaons of occupaonal health and the operaonal 
safety ordinance (e.g. for the US: e.g. OSHA regulaons and public laws).
These include the following things:
• The operator must fulll his monitoring obligaons.
• The operator must ensure that all sta members working with Panda are 
suitably qualied to do so and have been informed about the possible 
dangers Panda may present.
• The operator must provide training and instrucons in given intervals in 
order to create and consolidate risk awareness.
In this regard, we refer you to the Franka Academy, where appropriate train-
ing courses on the handling of Panda are oered.
