Safety Instructions
These safety instructions are intended to prevent a hazardous situation and/or equipment damage. These
instructions indicate the level of potential hazard by labels of "Caution", "Warning" or "Danger". To
ensure safety, be sure to observe ISO 4414 Note 1), JIS B 8370 Note 2) and other safety practices.
쐽Explanation of the Labels
Labels Explanation of the labels
Danger In extreme conditions, there is a possible result of serious injury or loss of life.
Caution Operator error could result in injury Note 3) or equipment damage. Note 4)
Note 1) ISO 4414: Pneumatic fluid power – General rules relating to systems
Note 2) JIS B 8370: General Rules for Pneumatic Equipment
Note 3) Injury indicates light wounds, burns and electrical shocks that do not require hospitalization or hospital visits for long-term medical treatment.
Note 4) Equipment damage refers to extensive damage to the equipment and surrounding devices.
쐽Selection/Handling/Applications
1. The compatibility of the pneumatic equipment is the responsibility of the person who designs the
pneumatic system or decides its specifications.
Since the products specified here are used in various operating conditions, their compatibility for the specific pneumatic system
must be based on specifications or post analysis and/or tests to meet the specific requirements. The expected performance and
safety assurance are the responsibility of the person who has determined the compatibility of the system. This person should
continuously review the suitability of all items specified, referring to the latest catalog information with a view to giving due
consideration to any possibility of equipment failure when configuring a system.
2. Only trained personnel should operate pneumatically operated machinery and equipment.
Compressed air can be dangerous if handled incorrectly. Assembly, handling or repair of pneumatic systems should be
performed by trained and experienced operators. (Understanding JIS B 8370 General Rules for Pneumatic Equipment, and other
safety rules are included.)
3. Do not service machinery/equipment or attempt to remove components until safety is confirmed.
1. Inspection and maintenance of machinery/equipment should only be performed once measures to prevent falling or runaway
of the driven objects have been confirmed.
2. When equipment is removed, confirm that safety process as mentioned above. Turn off the supply pressure for this equipment
and exhaust all residual compressed air in the system, and release all the energy (liquid pressure, spring, condenser, gravity).
3. Before machinery/equipment is restarted, take measures to prevent quick extension of a cylinder piston rod, etc.
4. If the equipment will be used in the following conditions or environment, please contact SMC first and
be sure to take all necessary safety precautions.
1. Conditions and environments beyond the given specifications, or if product is used outdoors.
2. Installation on equipment in conjunction with atomic energy, railway, air navigation, vehicles, medical equipment, food and
beverages, recreation equipment, emergency stop circuits, clutch and brake circuits in press applications, or safety equipment.
3. An application which has the possibility of having negative effects on people, property, requiring special safety analysis.
4. If the products are used in an interlock circuit, prepare a double interlock style circuit with a mechanical protection function for
the prevention of a breakdown. And, examine the devices periodically if they function normally or not.
