Specific hazards
Stay out of the working area of the robot.
The device must be incorporated into a higher-level safety system within a se-
cured area.
If this area has to be accessed when setup and maintenance work is carried out,
make sure that
-
the entire system is switched off for the duration of the work in this area
-
and that it is prevented from starting up accidentally, e.g., as the result of a
control fault
In addition to these operating instructions, the safety rules issued by the robot
manufacturer must also be observed.
Covers and side panels may only be opened/removed while maintenance or repair
work is being carried out.
During operation:
-
Ensure that all covers are closed and all side panels are fitted properly.
-
Keep all covers and side panels closed.
Protecting your-
self and others
Electromagnetic fields may pose as yet unknown risks to health:
-
Effects on the health of persons in the vicinity, for example, those with pace-
makers, metallic implants and hearing aids
-
Forbidden for anyone wearing a pacemaker: people wearing a pacemaker
must consult their doctor before working with the device or entering its im-
mediate vicinity
-
Forbidden for anyone with metal implants: people who have had metal im-
plants fitted must consult their doctor before working with the device or en-
tering its immediate vicinity
Magnetic fields generated by the high amperage can cause ferromagnetic parts
such as spatter accumulations to be ejected from the cleaning opening. To pre-
vent injury, never look into in the cleaning opening while the device is switched
on; protective goggles with side protection must be worn at all times.
Anyone working with the device exposes themselves to numerous risks e.g.:
-
flying sparks and hot pieces of metal
-
Arc radiation, which can damage eyes and skin
-
Risk of electrocution from mains current and welding current
-
Greater noise pollution
-
Harmful welding fumes and gases
Suitable protective clothing must be worn when working with the device. The
protective clothing must have the following properties:

Flame-resistant
-
Insulating and dry
-
Covers the whole body, is undamaged and in good condition
