Follow the method when you can use the software.
CAUTION
■
Normally, release the brake of joints one by one. Take extra care if you need to
release the brakes of two or more joints simultaneously. Releasing the brakes
of two or more joints simultaneously may cause hands and fingers to be caught
and/or equipment damage to or malfunction of the Manipulator as the arms of the
Manipulator may move in unexpected directions.
■
Be careful of the arm falling when releasing the brake.
While the brake is being released, the Manipulator’s arm falls by its own weight.
The arm falling may cause hands and fingers to be caught and/or may cause
equipment damage to or malfunction of the Manipulator.
■
Before releasing the brake, be sure to keep the Emergency Stop switch handy so
that you can immediately press the Emergency Stop switch. Otherwise, you
cannot immediately stop the arm falling due to an erroneous operation. The arm
falling may cause equipment damage to and/or malfunction of the Manipulator.
