● This product has not been planned and designed for the application
where high level of safety is required, so the guarantee of the protection
of human life is impossible. Accordingly, do not use it in any of the
following applications.
1) Medical equipment used to maintain, control or otherwise affect
human life or physical health.
2) Mechanisms and machinery designed for the purpose of moving or
transporting people (For vehicle, railway facility or air navigation
facility)
3) Important safety parts of machinery (Safety device, etc.)
● Do not use the product outside the specifications. Failure to do so may
considerably shorten the life of the product.
● Do not use it in any of the following environments.
1) Location where there is any inflammable gas, inflammable object or
explosive
2) Place with potential exposure to radiation
3) Location with the ambient temperature or relative humidity exceeding
the specification range
4) Location where radiant heat is added from direct sunlight or other
large heat source
5) Location where condensation occurs due to abrupt temperature
changes
6) Location where there is any corrosive gas (sulfuric acid or
hydrochloric acid)
7) Location exposed to significant amount of dust, salt or iron powder
8) Location subject to direct vibration or impact
● An axis on a robot that is used in vertical is equipped with a brake in
standard. To apply a load with its weight more than the maximum
transportable weight may disable the brake, which may result in damage
on a work piece or an accident. Never attempt to do so.

Description Description
2 Transportation ● When carrying a heavy object (approx. 20kg or more, with a heavy load
warning sign), do the work with two or more persons or utilize equipment
such as a hand cart or crane.
● When the work is carried out with 2 or more persons, make it clear who
is to be the leader and who to be the follower(s) and communicate well
with each other to ensure the safety of the workers.
