It's the machine owner's responsibility to verify that only
personnel who are trained in operation, maintenance, or both
shall access setup mode. Setup mode is intended only for
qualified machinery operators and maintenance professionals,
and only to set up a program or do maintenance procedures.
When you're not using setup mode, you must verify that the
machine is in run mode.
l

run device.
