General Safety Instructions - Bosch Rexroth A4VG 40 Series Instruction Manual

2.5 General safety instructions

• Observe the applicable accident prevention and environmental protection
regulations.
• Observe the safety regulations and provisions of the country in which the product
is used/operated.
• Use Rexroth products only when they are in good working order.
• Observe all notices on the product.
• Persons who install, operate, remove or maintain Rexroth products may not be
under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication that may affect their reaction
time.
• Only use genuine Rexroth accessories and spare parts to ensure there is no hazard
to persons due to unsuitable spare parts.
• Observe the technical data and ambient conditions specified in the product
documentation.
• If unsuitable products are installed or used in applications that are of relevance
to safety, unexpected operating conditions may occur in the application, which
could result in injury to personnel or property damage. For this reason, only use
the product in safety-relevant applications if this use is expressly specified and
permitted in the product documentation, for example in explosion protection
applications or in safety-related parts of a control system (functional safety).
• You may only commission the product if it has been determined that the end
product (for example, machinery or system) in which the Rexroth products are
installed complies with the country-specific provisions, safety regulations and
standards for the application.
• Use tools appropriate for the work being performed and wear appropriate
protective clothing to prevent punctures and cuts (e.g. when removing protective
covers, disassembly).
• There is a risk of entanglement when operating the axial piston unit with a bare
shaft end. Check whether or not your machine requires additional safety measures
for your application. If necessary, make sure that these are properly implemented.
• Depending on the type of control used, electromagnetic effects can be produced
when using solenoids. When a direct current is applied, solenoids do not cause
electromagnetic interference nor is their operation impaired by electromagnetic
interference. Other behavior can result when a modulated direct current (e.g.
PWM signal) is applied. Potential electromagnetic interference for persons (e.g.
persons with a pacemaker) and other components must be tested by the machine
manufacturer.
