Page 3 Safety Precautions Always read the following precautions and the separate "Safety Manual" before starting use of the robot to learn the required measures to be taken. CAUTION All teaching work must be carried out by an operator who has received special training.
Page 4 The points of the precautions given in the separate "Safety Manual" are given below. Refer to the actual "Safety Manual" for details. DANGER When automatic operation of the robot is performed using multiple control devices (GOT, programmable controller, push-button switch), the interlocking of operation rights of the devices, etc.
Page 5 CAUTION After editing the program, always confirm the operation with step operation before starting automatic operation. Failure to do so could lead to interference with peripheral devices because of programming mistakes, etc. CAUTION Make sure that if the safety fence entrance door is opened during automatic operation, the door is locked or that the robot will automatically stop.
Page 6 DANGER Attach the cap to the SSCNET III connector after disconnecting the SSCNET III cable. If the cap is not attached, dirt or dust may adhere to the connector pins, resulting in deterioration connector properties, and leading to malfunction. CAUTION Make sure there are no mistakes in the wiring.
