Property damage due to loose power connections 
Insufficient tightening torques or vibration can result in loose power connections. This can 
result in damage due to fire, device defects or malfunctions. 
•  Tighten all power connections to the prescribed torque. 
•  Check all power connections at regular intervals, particularly after equipment has been 
transported. 
 
Unexpected movement of machines caused by radio devices or mobile phones 
When radio devices or mobile phones with a transmission power > 1 W are used in the 
immediate vicinity of components, they may cause the equipment to malfunction. 
Malfunctions may impair the functional safety of machines and can therefore put people in 
danger or lead to property damage. 
•  If you come closer than around 2 m to such components, switch off any radios or mobile 
phones. 
•  Use the "SIEMENS Industry Online Support app" only on equipment that has already 
been switched off. 
 
Unrecognized dangers due to missing or illegible warning labels 
Dangers might not be recognized if warning labels are missing or illegible. Unrecognized 
dangers may cause accidents resulting in serious injury or death. 
•  Check that the warning labels are complete based on the documentation. 
•  Attach any missing warning labels to the components, where necessary in the national 
language. 
•  Replace illegible warning labels.
