This document describes systems that resemble each other. ProtoMat S64 and
ProtoMat S104 are identically constructed, differing only in a few characteristics. The
following always describes the system. For comprehensibility and practicability of the
instruction steps, it does not matter which of the two systems is described. The
characteristics that serve for differentiation are marked clearly in this document.

2 Safety
This chapter provides an overview of all important safety aspects for protecting
persons as well as for a safe and fault-free operation of the system/product. There are
further warning messages in the sections of the individual lifecycle stages.
2.1 Basic hazards
Always comply with the warning messages listed here and in the individual sections of
this documentation to reduce the risks of injuries and property damage and to avoid
dangerous situations.
2.1.1 Mechanical hazards
WARNING
Risk of injury by moving components!
Moving components can cause serious injuries e.g. crushing injuries or cuts.
 Never grasp moving components when the system is operating.
 Never open any covers when the system is operating.
 Observe the follow-up time. Before opening the cover, ensure that no
component is still moving.
WARNING
Risk of injuries by pressurized components!
Pressurized components (e.g. compressed-air supply) can move uncontrollably in
case of improper handling or in case of a defect and can cause serious injuries.
 Depressurize the components before working on them. De-energize the
residual energies.
 Always ensure that there is no unintended escape of compressed air.
 Defective components that are under pressure when operating the system have
to be replaced immediately by sufficiently qualified personnel.
