How to use the brake release unit
CAUTION
■
Be careful of the arm downward motion while you release the brakes.
The
arm will move downward by its own weight while you are pressing a brake
release switch.
This is extremely dangerous and may break the manipulator or
catch your hand, fingers.
■
If the arm you released the brake moves strange or slower than normal, stop
the
motion promptly and contact us. The brake release unit is possibly broken and
if you keep operating the manipulator, it may lead to the brake of the manipulator
or you will be caught by the hand or fingers.
