EN - Warnings
Pinch hazards exist between moving parts and between moving and static parts. Do not hold the probe
head during movements, or when manually changing a probe.
Beware of unexpected movement. The user should remain outside the full working envelope of probe
head/extension/probe combinations.
In all applications involving the use of machine tools or CMMs, eye protection is recommended.
There are normally no user-serviceable parts inside Renishaw mains-powered units. Return defective
units to an authorised Renishaw Customer Service Centre.
Replace blown fuses with new components of the same type. Refer to the safety information in the
relevant product documentation.
For instructions regarding the safe cleaning of Renishaw products, refer to the maintenance information in
the relevant product documentation.
Remove power before performing any maintenance operations.
Refer to the machine supplier’s operating instructions.
It is the machine supplier’s responsibility to ensure that the user is made aware of any hazards involved in
operation, including those mentioned in Renishaw product documentation, and to ensure that adequate
guards and safety interlocks are provided.
Under certain circumstances the probe signal may falsely indicate a probe-seated condition. Do not rely
on probe signals to stop machine movement.
The PHC10-2 is isolated from AC power by means of the mains switch on the rear panel. If any additional
means of isolation is required, it must be specified and fitted by the machine manufacturer or the installer
of the product. The isolator must be sited within easy reach of the CMM operator and comply with
IEC61010 and any applicable national wiring regulations for the country of installation.
