Always read before handling
These safety instructions are intended to prevent hazardous situations and/or equipment damage.
These instructions indicate the level of potential hazard by labeling • CAUTION!, • WARNING! or
• DANGER!. To ensure safety, be sure to observe ISO 4414
1
, JIS B 8370
2
and other safety practices
(EN ISO 13849-1
3
).
• CAUTION! Operator error could result in injury or equipment damage.
• WARNING! Operator error could result in serious injury or loss of life.
• DANGER! In extreme conditions, there is a possible result of serious injury or loss of life.
1. ISO 4414: Pneumatic uid power – Recommendations for the application of equipment to transmission and control systems.
2. JIS B 8370: Pneumatic system axiom, Japan.
3. EN ISO 13849-1: EN ISO 13849-1: Safety of machinery – Safety-related parts of control systems.
• WARNING!
The compatibility of pneumatic equipment is the responsibility of the person who designs the
pneumatic system or decides its specications.
Since the products specied here are used in various operating conditions, their compatibility with
the specic pneumatic system must be based on specications or after analysis and/or tests to meet
your specic requirements.
Only trained personnel should operate pneumatically operated machinery and equipment.
Compressed air can be dangerous if an operator is unfamiliar with it. Assembly, handling or repair of
pneumatic systems should be performed by trained and experienced operators.
Do not service machinery/equipment or attempt to remove components until safety is conrmed.
1. Inspection and maintenance of machinery/equipment should only be performed after conrmation of
safe locked-out control positions.
2. When equipment is to be removed, conrm the safety process as mentioned above. Cut the supply
pressure from the equipment and exhaust all residual compressed air in the system.
3. Before machinery/equipment is re-started, take measures to prevent quick extensions of the cylinder
piston rod etc. (Bleed air into the system gradually to create back-pressure.) (Use a soft start valve
according to EN ISO 13849-1.)
Contact SMC if the product is to be used in any of the following conditions:
1. Conditions and environments beyond the given specications, or if product is used outdoors.
2. Installation on equipment in conjunction with atomic energy, railway, air navigation, vehicles, medical
equipment, food and beverage, recreation equipment, emergency stop circuits, press applications,
or safety equipment.
3. An application which has the possibility of having negative effects on people, property, or animals,
requiring special safety analysis.
