These safety instructions are intended to prevent a hazardous situation and/or equipment damage. These instructions indicate the level of potential hazard by a label 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. Caution : Operator error could result in injury or equipment damage. Warning : Operator error could result in serious injury or loss of life. Danger : In extreme conditions, there is a possible result of serious injury or loss of life.

Note 2) JIS B 8370: Pneumatic system axiom
1. The compatibility of 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 with the
specific pneumatic system must be based on specifications or after analysis and/or tests to meet your
specific requirements. The expected performance and safety assurance will be 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 maintenance of
pneumatic systems should be performed by trained and experienced operators. 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 object have been confirmed.
2. When equipment is to be removed, confirm the safety process as mentioned above. Cut the supply
pressure for this equipment and exhaust all residual compressed air in the system.
3. Before machinery/equipment is restarted, take measures to prevent shooting-out of cylinder piston
4. Contact SMC if the product is to be used in any of the following conditions:
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
circuit in press applications, or safety equipment.
3. An application which has the possibility of having negative effects on people, property, or animals,

2. Use tubing at or above the minimum bending radius. Using below
the minimum bending radius can cause breakage or flattening of the tubing.

1. Check for the following during regular maintenance, and replace
1. Before mounting confirm the model and size, etc. Also, confirm that
there are no blemishes, nicks or cracks in the product.
a) Scratches, gouges, abrasion, corrosion
2. When tubing is connected, consider factors such as changes in the
tubing length due to pressure, and allow sufficient leeway.
c) Twisting, flattening or distortion of tubing
3. Mount so that fittings and tubing are not subjected to twisting,
d) Hardening, deterioration or softness of tubing

2. Do not repair or patch the replaced tubing or fittings for reuse.
4. Mount so that tubing is not damaged due to tangling and abrasion.
3. When using insert or miniature fittings over a long period, some

leakage may occur due to age deterioration of the materials. Perform periodic inspections, and if any leakage is detected, correct the problem by additional tightening. If tightening becomes
ineffective, replace the fittings with a new product immediately. 1. Preparation before piping
Before piping is connected, it should be thoroughly blown out with air (flushing) or washed to remove chips, cutting oil and other debris from inside the pipe. Not allowing chips of the piping thread or the seal material to go in. SMC'S GLOBAL MANUFACTURING, DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE NETWORK SLOVAKIA
