This machine was designed for use by a single operator only. 
 
Wear eye protection at all times. 
 
Use the proper voltage outlet for the machine. 
 
Make sure that all guards and cover shields are down before starting machine.  
 

CAUTION: Do not remove guards.

 

 
Keep hands off working tables and out of the path of moving parts during operation. 
Remove all material from the tables except for the work piece. 
 
Remove all tooling from the punch end before starting shearing or coping operations. 
 
Make sure that all tooling is properly held in position before starting any operation. 
 
The area around the machine should be well lit, dry, and free from obstructions. 
 
All  maintenance  and  repair  work  should  be  performed  by  a  person  familiar  with  this 
publication. 
 
At the end of the working day, power off the machine. 
 
Adjust  limit  switches  when  punching  or  bending  to  allow  1/4"  maximum  clearance 
between bottom of the stripper foot or bending punch and the top of the material. Contact 
the factory for limit switch adjustments on special tooling.
