Operating environment
1. To avoid possible accidents caused by maloperation of the machine, use the machine under the
environment that is not affected by a substantial noise source (electromagnetic wave) such as a high-
frequency welder.
2. To avoid possible accidents caused by maloperation of the machine, never use the machine under the
environment where the voltage exceeds ±10% of the rated voltage.
3. To avoid possible accidents caused by maloperation of the machine, put any device such as an air
cylinder that operates by the pneumatic pressure into service after checking to ascertain that the
specified pressure is provided.
4. To ensure safety in operation, use the machine under the following environment.
Ambient temperature during operation: 5 ˚C to 35 ˚C
Relative humidity during operation: 35 % to 85 %
5. When the operating environment of the machine is suddenly changed such as in the case where it is moved
from a cold place to a warm place, dew condensation can occur. To avoid possible accidents caused by
breakage or maloperation of the electrical parts due to dew condensation, be sure to wait for a sufficient period
of time until there is no possibility of presence of water drops inside the machine before turning the power on.
6. To avoid possible accidents caused by breakage or maloperation of the electrical parts, be sure to stop
operation and disconnect the power plug for safety in case of thunder and lightning.
Training

shall only be allowed to be used by the operators who have been trained for proper operation and
provided with sufficient knowledge of safe operation by the employee. For this purpose, the employer
shall establish a training plan and implement it for the operators beforehand.
Working wear
