– Always position pneumatic cylinders so that the piston rod's working space is
unobstructed over the entire stroke range.
– Make sure that the piston rod cannot collide with any of the rigid components in
the setup.
• Risk of accident due to pneumatic tubing slipping off!
– Use shortest possible tubing connections.
– If pneumatic tubing slips off:
Switch off the compressed air supply immediately.
