SAFETY PRECAUTIONS B-65285EN/03
s-4
WARNING
- Do not supply the power to the motor while any terminal is
exposed.
A failure to observe this caution is very dangerous because you
may get electric shocks if your body or any conductive stuff
touches an exposed terminal.
- Do not bring any dangerous stuff near a motor.
Motors are connected to a power line, and may get hot. If a
flammable is placed near a motor, it may be ignited, catch fire, or
explode.
- Do not get close to a rotary section of a motor when it is
rotating.
You may get your clothes or fingers caught in a rotary section, and
may be injured. Before starting a motor, ensure that there is no
stuff that can fly away (such as a key) on the motor.
- Do not touch a motor with a wet hand.
A failure to observe this caution is vary dangerous because you
may get electric shocks.
- Before touching a motor, shut off the power to it.
Even if a motor is not rotating, there may be a voltage across the
terminals of the motor.
Especially before touching a power supply connection, take
sufficient precautions.
Otherwise you may get electric shocks.
- Do not touch any terminal of a motor for a while (at least 5
minutes) after the power to the motor is shut off.
High voltage remains across power line terminals of a motor for a
while after the power to the motor is shut off. So, do not touch any
terminal or connect it to any other equipment. Otherwise, you may
get electric shocks or the motor and/or equipment may get
damaged.
- To drive a motor, use a specified amplifier and parameters.
Driving a motor with other than the specified combinations of an
amplifier and parameters may cause the motor to perform an
unexpected operation; for example, the motor may get out of
control, or produce excessively high torque. This may result in the
motor or machine being damaged. Also, an object such as a
workpiece or tool may fly off due to excessive rotation, possibly
causing injury.
