OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE.
In order to obtain maximum life and efficiency from your machine, follow all the instructions in the operating manuals carefully.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Read, understand and follow the safety and operating instructions found in this manual. Know the limitations and hazards
associated with operating the machine.
2.
Eye Safety: Wear an approved safety face shield, goggles or safety glasses to protect eyes when operating the machine.
3.
Grounding the Machine: Machines equipped with three prong grounding plugs are so equipped for your protection against shock
hazards and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle in accordance with national electrical
codes and local codes and ordinances. A grounding adapter may be used. If one is used, the green lead should be securely
connected to a suitable electrical ground such as a ground wire system. Do not cut off the grounding prong or use an adapter
with the grounding prong removed.
4.
Work Area: Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of tools, tooling, stock scrap and other foreign material and oil,
grease or coolant to minimize the danger of tripping or slipping. Van Norman recommends the use of anti-skid floor strips on the
floor area where the operator normally stands and that each machine's work area be marked off. Make certain the work area is
well lighted and ventilated. Provide for adequate workspace around the machine.
5.
Guards: Keep all machine guards in place at all times when machine is in use.
6.
Do Not Overreach: Maintain a balanced stance and keep your body under control at all times.
7.
Hand Safety: NEVER wear gloves while operating this machine.
8.
Machine Capacity: Do not attempt to use the machine beyond its stated capacity or operations. This type of use will reduce the
productive life of the machine and could cause the breakage of parts, which could result in personal injury.
9.
Avoid Accidental Starting: Make certain the main switch is in the OFF position before connecting power to the machine.
10. Careless Acts: Give the work you are doing your undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and horseplay
are careless acts that can result in serious injury.
11. Job Completion: If the operation is complete, the machine should be emptied and the work area cleaned.
12. Disconnect All Power and Air to Machine before performing any service or maintenance.
13. Replacement Parts: Use only Van Norman replacement parts and accessories; otherwise, warranty will be null and void.

disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury or loss that may result from such use.
