General Safety 1.1
The following points must be understood and adhered to at all times:
Equipment operators must read the User Guide carefully and make sure of the correct procedure
before operating the LinX linear motor.
Memorize the locations of the power and drive isolator switches so that you can activate them
immediately at any time if required.
If two or more persons are working together, establish signals so that they can communicate to
confirm safety before proceeding to another step.
Be aware of the closest First Aid station.
Always make sure there are no obstacles or people near the devices during installation and or
operation. Be aware of your environment and what is around you.
Keep the vicinity of the LinX linear motor clean and tidy.
Take precautions to ensure that your clothing, hair or personal effects (such as jewellery) cannot
become entangled in the equipment.
Do not turn on any of the equipment without all safety features in place and known to be functioning
correctly. Never remove any covers or guards unless instructed by the procedures described in this
manual.
The magnetic and non-load bearing nature of the shaft means that operator interaction around the
shaft must be carefully considered. Ensure appropriate warnings and/or guards are installed to prevent
damage to the machine or operator.
Never touch any exposed wiring, connections or fittings while the equipment is in operation.
Visually check all switches on the operator panel before operating them.
Do not apply any mechanical force to the LinX linear motor which may cause malfunction or failure.
Never attempt cleaning or inspection during machine operation.
