Risk

DANGER

Do not drive unless you have been trained in the safety and operation of the remote control and know the features of the machine.

Be very cateful as the wifeless remote control can operate normally even in a place where are obstacles or where is no view.

When moving away from the transmitter, it is safe to turn off the KEY LOCK switch. (To separate the KEY LOCK switch, hold the handle of the switch and pull it out.)

Preparation Before Operating

WARNING

Be sure to test and use the emergency stop function.
Never operate the machine when the emergency stop function is not functioning properly.

Transmitters should always be checked before operating and before starting a shift.
Make sure you read all safety labels.
Visually inspect the transmitter for wear or damage.
If the transmitter has worn or damaged parts, do not operate it.

Transmitter Handling

The front of the transmitter should be facing forward, the text on the control panel should be clearly visible and legible, and the length of the shoulder strap should be adjusted to a height that is comfortable and easy to operate.

WARNING
Operation without holding the transmitter properly may cause equipment malfunction.

Precautions when Welding

Some welding devices have high current flow and voltage peaks.
It should be noted that components of the control system may be damaged if this welding current passes through the control module itself.
When welding, care must be taken to avoid high currents going through the controller or CAN bus.
Carefully follows these guidelines.
Disconnect all connectors on the control unit before welding.

Even if the control system is de-energized, welding must be carried out carefully and with appropriate safety precautions. A welding ground must be connected near the welding point to prevent high currents from flowing over long distances through the machine frame.
