NOTICE!
The unit may only be operated if the machine in which the unit is installed complies with the
relevant provisions of the machinery directive 2006-42-EC.
This symbol indicates possible hazards to persons or the SHW
Connector.
Everyone who is responsible for assembly, commissioning and maintenance must read and
understand the complete operating instructions. Improper use, which affects the function und
operational safety of the SHW Connector, is prohibited.
To open the change system, pull the locking pin on the hand lever. As a result, the crossway bolt
is displaced radially and releases the force-locked crimp connection in the bore of the lower
assembly. The upper and lower assembly can now be pulled apart.
Use this unit only in dry and splash-proof environments at room temperature as well as within the
application parameters defined in the technical specifications. If this is not the case, warranty
cannot be accepted. Exceptions are units designed especially for the respective conditions.
In order to prevent damage to the connector as well as injuries to the operator, the
lower assembly or the tool must be secured by hand or other devices before opening
the change system. Otherwise there is a risk that irreparable damages to the tool or
injury to the operator are caused by the unit falling down.
The SHW Connector has been designed as an interface between handling device and tool (e.g. gripper).
Furthermore, the SHW can also be used in special solutions, automation and also as a general
mechanical standard interface. The unit may only be used in the context of its technical specifications.
The system is intended for the installation in a machine. The requirements of the applicable instructions
must be considered and adhered to.
