Dobot M1 User Guide 1 Security Precautions

 People cannot repair and disassemble the robotic arm without professional training. If

there is a problem with the robotic arm, please contact Dobot technical support engineer

in time.

 Before operating and maintaining the robotic arm, the personnel responsible for the

installation, operation and maintenance must be trained to understand the various security

precautions and to master the correct methods of operation and maintenance.

 Only trained and trained personnel may commission and set up the robotic arm.

 Commissioning of the incomplete machine is prohibited until it has been installed in a

machine and the whole machine complies with the provisions of the Machinery Directive

(2006/42/EC).

 The robotic arm may only be operated with the associated standard equipment. Any other

use of tools is deemed to be inaccurate use.

 Only authorized personnel who are instructed in work safety must work on the machine.

 Before the operation, please wear protective clothing, such as antistatic uniform,

protective gloves and protective shoes.

 It is prohibited to modify or remove the nameplates, instructions, icons and marks on the

robotic arm and the related equipment.

Service Security

WARNING

It is necessary to shut off the power supply before installing the robotic arm, to prevent

any electric shock or malfunction.

The following security rules should be followed when using the robotic arm for installing,

teaching and programing.

 Be careful during the robotic arm carrying or installing. Please follow the instructions on

the packing box to put down the robotic arm gently and place it correctly in direction of

arrow.

 Before operating the robotic arm, please find and understand how to operate the

emergency stop function, ensure that the robotic arm can be stopped in an emergency.

 You must connect the cables needed to the robotic arm first, and then power on the robotic

arm.

 When operating the robotic arm over the PC, please do not enter the workspace of the

robotic arm, otherwise it will be vulnerable to injury the device or the person.

 When the robotic arm is running, please do not touch the power and communication cables

at will. Before disconnecting the external equipment from the robotic arm, such as 3D

mouse, please make sure that the robotic arm is completely powered off.

 When powering on robotic arm for the first time, please check Z-axis or J3 value from

M1Studio. If the value is below 10mm, an alarm about limitation is generated and

meanwhile the red indicator on the base of robotic arm is on, which is a normal
