Electrical safety
• (115 Volt models) Your machine is designed to oper-
ate using 120 Volt A. C. 60 Hz. electrical current. It is
supplied with a three-prong power plug which should
be used with a properly grounded three-prong outlet
only. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by
modifying or using with non-grounded outlets!
• To reduce risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose
or operate machine in damp or wet locations.
• Electrical problems should be referred to qualified
repair technicians. If the machine is under warranty,
contact KABA ILCO at the address printed on the
cover. (KABA ILCO also offers repair service for out-
of-warranty machines. Contact KABA ILCO for
details.)
• Always unplug the machine before removing the hood
or changing the cutter wheel.
WARNING – SAFETY NOTICE
3
IMPORTANT - Please read carefully before operating machine.
Safety begins with education, and continues with proper
application. All personnel who operate your machine
should read the supplied Operator’s Manual for informa-
tion on how to properly operate it. The likelihood of acci-
dents and miscuts will be greatly reduced.
General safety
• Safety glasses must be worn to reduce the possibility
of eye injury while operating or in the immediate
vicinity of key cutting equipment.
• Always turn machine off before making adjustments
or inserting or removing keys.
• Machine should be located in an area accessible only
by authorized operators. Location must be such that
customers and other personnel are not subject to
potential injury from “flying chips”.
• Do not defeat safety features built into your machine.
Removal or modification of safety shields, cutter
guards, and other safety devices should be strictly for-
bidden.
• At no time should the mechanically-driven parts of
the machine be touched while it is in operation. The
operator should take care to ensure that loose-fitting
clothing, long hair, etc. are kept from the area of
machine operation.
• Your machine has been specially designed and built
for key cutting purposes only and should be operated
according to the Operator’s Manual. All other uses are
strongly discouraged as potentially dangerous, and
should not be attempted! Such use will immediately
void the machine’s warranty.
• Some states have specific age restriction concerning
the operation of certain types of equipment. Check
local and state ordinances for compliance.
Grounding instructions
• In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, ground-
ing provides a path of least resistance for electric cur-
rent to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine
is equipped with an electric cord that has an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into a machine outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
• Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
• Improper connection of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The
conductor with insulation that has a green outer
surface (with or without yellow stripes) is the equip-
ment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of
the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect
the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
• Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the machine
is properly grounded.
• Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept
the machine’s plug.
• Repair or replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
