When using as a safety device for a press machine or paper shearing machine in Japan
(Applicable model: SF4D-□-01)
<Japanese regulations>
Standards for safety device mechanisms for press machines and shearing machines.
This device has passed, as indicated below, the "Type Examination" based on Arti-
cle 44, 2 of the Industrial Safety and Health Law of Japan.
WARNING
When using as a safety device for a press machine or paper shearing machine in
Japan, always attach the protective tube
SFPD-A10
(option) to the cable. The
safety device cannot be used for a press machine or shearing machine unless a
protective tube is attached to the cable.
