Safety precautions
The precautions described below are intended to prevent danger or injury to
the user and other personnel through safe, correct use of the product. Use the
product only after carefully reading and fully understanding these instructions.
Handling the product without observing the instructions
that accompany a "Warning" symbol may result in serious
injury or death.
Handling the product without observing the instructions
that accompany a "Caution" symbol may result in injury or
property damage.
Note The items under this heading contain important handling
instructions that the user should observe to ensure safe use
of the product.
Do not use the product in explosive or corrosive environments, in the
presence of ammable gases, or near combustibles. Doing so may result in
re, electric shock or injury.
Only qualied and educated personnel should be allowed to perform
installation, connection, operation and inspection/troubleshooting of the
product. Handling by unqualied and uneducated personnel may result in
re, electric shock, injury or equipment damage.
Do not transport, install the product, perform connections or inspections
when the power is on. Always turn the power o before carrying out these
operations. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
Do not use the electromagnetic brake of the motor as a safety brake. Take
safety measures other than the electromagnetic brake. Failure to do so may
result in injury or damage to equipment.
Turn o the power in the event the overheat protection device (thermal
protector) is triggered. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to
equipment, since the motor will start abruptly when the overheat protection
device (thermal protector) is automatically reset.
In the event the overheat protection device (thermal protector) is triggered,
the load will not be held in position. A safety device should be provided
separately. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to equipment.
The motor is ClassⅠequipment. Install the motor so as to avoid contact with
hands, or ground it to prevent the risk of electric shock.
Keep the input power voltage within the specied range. Failure to do so may
result in re or electric shock.
Securely connect the cables in accordance with the connection examples.
Failure to do so may result in re or electric shock.
Do not forcibly bend, pull or pinch the lead wire (cable). Doing so may result
in re and electric shock.
Insulate the connection terminals of the supplied capacitor using the
supplied capacitor cap. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
Turn o the power in the event of a power failure. Or the motor may suddenly
start when the power is restored and may cause injury or damage to equipment.
Do not touch the connection terminal of the capacitor immediately after the
power is turned o (for a period of 30 seconds). The residual voltage may
cause electric shock.
Do not disassemble or modify the motor. This may cause electric shock or injury.
Do not use the motor beyond its specications. Doing so may result in electric
shock, injury or damage to equipment.
Do not touch the motor during operation or immediately after stopping. The
surface is hot and may cause a skin burn(s).
Do not lift the motor by holding the motor output shaft or motor lead wires
(cables). Doing so may result in injury.
Keep the area around the motor free of combustible materials. Failure to do
so may result in re or a skin burn(s).
Do not leave anything around the motor that would obstruct ventilation.
Doing so may result in damage to equipment.
Do not touch the rotating part (output shaft) while operating the motor.
Doing so may result in injury.
When an abnormality is noted, turn o the power immediately. Failure to do
so may result in re, electrical shock or injury.
The motor surface temperature may exceed 70 °C (158 °F)
even under normal operating conditions. If the operator is
allowed to approach the running motor, attach a warning
label as shown in the gure in a conspicuous position.
Failure to do so may result in a skin burn(s). Warning label
Dispose the product correctly in accordance with laws and regulations, or
instructions of local governments.
