1.  Important Notice

1.1 Safety Guidelines

1. Know the Product: Before using the Robot for the first time, please read the manual to fully understand its functions, operating procedures, and all safety instructions.

2. Environmental Requirements: Operate the robot only on flat, dry and stable surfaces. Do not use it in environments with extreme high or low temperatures, high humidity, steep slopes, sharp drops, fragile ground or strong vibration.

3. Regular Inspection and Maintenance: Conduct regular maintenance and status checks on the Robot, focusing on key components such as joints, sensors, and the power system, to ensure the equipment remains in good working condition and to prevent safety hazards caused by component aging or damage.

4. Know the Emergency Stop Operations: Before use, familiarize yourself with the emergency stop operation method to halt the robot promptly in case of emergencies. Once the emergency stop is activated, all robot joints will lose support and collapse. For this reason, strictly observe on-site safety regulations and keep the protective frame in place at all times after an emergency stop. Do not activate the emergency stop unless necessary.

5. Reserve Operating Space: Before operation, ensure sufficient surrounding space for the robot to move. Do not use it in overly narrow areas or spaces crowded with people and obstacles, to prevent collision and pinching risks.

6. Electrical Safety: Before power-on, inspect cables, plugs and sockets to confirm they are intact and free of abnormalities. If a short circuit, overheating or other faults are detected, cut off the power supply immediately.

7. Prohibit Improper Use: Use the robot only in compliant and proper application scenarios. Do not operate it for dangerous, illegal or unauthorized purposes.

1.2 Safety Guidelines

1. Pre-Operation Checks

a. Before powering on the robot or initiating any movement, ensure no personnel, debris or obstacles remain in the working area, especially around robotic arms, joints and other moving parts, to prevent collisions and personal injury.

b. Operators shall inspect the robot for normal status before startup and confirm the completion of system self-check.

2. Standardized Operation and Training Requirements

All operating personnel must receive operating training in advance. Operators shall be familiar with the robot’s specifications, standard operating procedures and exception handling protocols, to avoid safety risks arising from improper operation.

3. Maintain a Safe Distance

Keep a minimum 1 meter safe distance from the robot’s working area during operation to prevent collision hazards caused by sudden equipment movement. Do not stay within the robot’s predicted motion path, especially during high-speed operation.

4. Prohibition of Manual Intervention During Operation

Do not manually interfere with the robot while it is running. If adjustment, maintenance or manual handling is required, confirm the robot has come to a complete stop and is fully powered off before any operation.

5. Load and Component Usage Requirements

a. Operate the robot within its rated load capacity. Do not apply loads exceeding its designed specification limits.

b. When using end-effectors, grippers and other functional components, ensure full compatibility with the target workpiece. Mismatched components may cause extrusion, abnormal stress or permanent part damage.

6. Shutdown Procedures for Abnormal Conditions

In the event of abnormalities, malfunctions or unexpected faults, immediately activate emergency shutdown via the remote control to stop all robot motions without delay.

8. Remote Control Precautions

a. If the robot is equipped with remote control functions, operate it only under stable and secure network conditions. Network interruptions, latency or external intrusion will impair control stability.

b. Remote operators shall adopt real-time monitoring measures to continuously keep track of the robot’s running status and on-site environment, so as to ensure the safety of remote operation.
