hand.

Basic safety notes
12 17.00 | JGZ | Assembly and Operating Manual | en | 389161
lDo not reach into the open mechanism or movement area of
the product during operation.
2.12.1 Protection during handling and assembly

lNever rely solely on the response of the monitoring function
to avert danger. Until the installed monitors become effective,
it must be assumed that the drive movement is faulty, with its
action being dependent on the control unit and the current
operating condition of the drive. Perform maintenance work,
modifications, and attachments outside the danger zone
defined by the movement range.

Basic safety notes
17.00 | JGZ | Assembly and Operating Manual | en | 389161 13
lTo avoid accidents and/or material damage, human access to
the movement range of the machine must be restricted. Limit/
prevent accidental access for people in this area due through
technical safety measures. The protective cover and protective
fence must be rigid enough to withstand the maximum
possible movement energy. EMERGENCY STOP switches must be
easily and quickly accessible. Before starting up the machine
or automated system, check that the EMERGENCY STOP system
is working. Prevent operation of the machine if this protective
equipment does not function correctly.
2.12.4 Protection against electric shock
Possible electrostatic energy
Components or assembly groups may become electrostatically
charged. When the electrostatic charge is touched, the discharge
may trigger a shock reaction leading to injuries.
lThe operator must ensure that all components and assembly
groups are included in the local potential equalisation in
accordance with the applicable regulations.
lWhile paying attention to the actual conditions of the working
environment, the potential equalisation must be
implemented by a specialist electrician according to the
applicable regulations.
lThe effectiveness of the potential equalisation must be
verified by executing regular safety measurements.
