2.4 Personnel qualifi cations
The work described in this documentation requires basic mechanical, electrical, and
pneumatics knowledge, as well as knowledge of the appropriate technical terms.
Additional knowledge of the lifting device's usage and of the associated lifting
equipment are necessary to transport and handle the product. In order to ensure
operating safety, these activities may therefore only be carried out by qualifi ed
technical personnel or an instructed person under the direction and supervision of
qualifi ed personnel.
Qualifi ed personnel are those who can recognize possible hazards and institute
the appropriate safety measures due to their professional training, knowledge, and
experience, as well as their understanding of the relevant conditions pertaining to
the work to be done. Qualifi ed personnel must observe the rules relevant to the
subject area and carry the necessary technical expertise.
For pneumatic products such expertise would, for example, involve:
• Being able to read and fully understand pneumatic diagrams,
• Especially understanding completely the complexity and interactions of safety
equipment, and
• Having knowledge of the function and structure of pneumatic components.
Bosch Rexroth offers training for special fi elds. You can fi nd an overview of the

• Observe the safety instructions and regulations applicable in the country in which
the product is used.
• Exclusively use Rexroth products in good technical order and condition.
• Follow all instructions printed on the product.

• Comply with the technical data and ambient conditions listed in the product
documentation.
• The installation or use of unsuitable products in safety-relevant applications
can result in unanticipated operating states in the application that can lead to

applications relevant to safety if this use is explicitly specifi ed and permitted in the
product documentation, for example in explosion protection areas or safety-related
control components (functional safety).
• Only commission the product after verifying that the end product (e.g. machine or
system) in which Rexroth products are installed complies with national regulations,
safety guidelines, and norms.
