About the 700-C
The Kval 700-C Frame Assembly Machine is generally used in-line with the Commander 3 or 990
Series of machines.
The operation includes placing the strike jamb and header into the machine and clamping into
place. The door, with hinge jamb installed, is then moved into position, gently lowered into place,
and then securely clamped into position. Two-Hand control Palm Buttons activate the clamping
sequence and vertically move staple guns into position to attach the jambs to the header. Activat-
ing staple gun "fire" sequence is initiated with one palm button and the "fire guns" push-button on
the control panel on machine. The door is then raised and rolled out of the machine to the next sta-
tion to the packaging station.

Safety Sheet Sign-Off Sheet
At the end of this chapter, there is a safety sign-off sheet. It lists personnel and machine safety cri-
teria to understand before operating the machine. It is highly recommended that personnel operat-
ing, working on a machine meet the criteria listed in this sheet. It is recommended the sheet be
signed and kept for records. See “Safety Sign-Off Sheet” on page 1-16.
Safety Terminology of Labels
In addition to the nameplate, Kval machines may have other warning labels or decals that provide
safety information to operators. Safety labels should be clearly visible to the operator and must be
replaced if missing, damaged, or illegible.
There are three types of warning labels or decals:
•DANGER means if the danger is not avoided, it will cause death or serious injury.
•WARNING means if the warning is not heeded, it can cause death or serious
injury.
•CAUTION means if the precaution is not taken, it may cause minor or moderate
injury.
This machine is a powerful electro-mechanical motion control
system. You should test your motion system for safety under
all potential conditions. Failure to do so can result in dam-
age to equipment and/or serious injury to personnel.

Lockout/Tagout Guidelines
Lockout/Tagout Guidelines
1-6
Lockout/Tagout Guidelines
Follow these Lockout/Tagout guidelines,
• Place a tag on all padlocks. On the tag, each operator must put their own name and
date. (These locks are only to be removed by the person who signs the tag)
• If more than one person is working on the machine, each additional person places a
lock and tag on each disconnect.
• Only each operator may remove their own lock and tag.
Important: When many people are all working on the same machine you will need a
multiple lockout device, such as the one shown here.
Follow the P-R-O-P-E-R lockout rule of thumb.
P...... Process shutdown
R ...... Recognize energy type (electrical, pneumatic, mechanical, etc.)
O...... OFF! Shut off all power sources and isolating devices
P...... Place lock and tag
E...... ENERGY: Release stored energy to a zero-energy state
R ...... Recheck controls and test to ensure they are in the “OFF” state

Lockout/Tagout Procedure
Lockout/Tagout Procedure
1-7
Lockout/Tagout Procedure
This policy is required by OSHA regulation 1910.147 and Cal OSHA’S
SB198 ruling of July 1991.
Use the following lockout procedure to secure this machine while it is
powered down. During a lockout, you disconnect all power and shut
off the air supply. Be sure to use the tagout guidelines noted below.
https://www.osha.gov/
Before Lockout/Tagout: Inspect the Machines
1. Evaluate the equipment to fully understand all energy sources (multiple electrical
supplies, air supply and pressure, spring tension, weight shifts, etc.).
2. Inform all affected personnel of the eminent shutdown, and the duration of the shut-
down.
3. Obtain locks, keys, and tags from your employer’s lockout center.
Lockout/Tagout Power
Note: When multiple people are working on the machine, each person needs to have a
lock on the handle in the extra holes provided.
4. Turn the Main Power on ALL electrical panels to the OFF position.
a.Lever style Electrical Panels: ensure the lever is in the down position, insert
lock and tag into the lever hole making sure the lever cannot move, lock as per
the tagout guidelines. (see illustration below).

Post Maintenance Steps
8. After maintenance is completed, the person performing the work must ensure all
tools, spare parts, test equipment, etc., are completely removed and that all guards
and safety devices are installed.
9. Before removing the locks and tags, the person who attached them shall inspect the
equipment to ensure that the machine will not be put in an unsafe condition when
re-energized.
10. The lock and tag can now be removed (only by the person(s) who placed them),
and the machine can be re-energized.
11. The tags must be destroyed and the locks and keys returned to the lockout center.

Zero-Energy to Start-Up
Zero-Energy to Start-Up
1-10
Zero-Energy to Start-Up
Starting the equipment properly is just as important as the Lockout/Tagout guidelines in terms of
safety.The following guidelines below should be followed to start the equipment.
Inspect
The equipment must be inspected for proper adjustment before starting equipment.
Clean Up
All materials and debris must be cleaned up. Any combustible materials or old parts used during
repairs must be cleaned up and/or properly disposed of.
Replace Guards
Replace all equipment guards. If part of equipment cannot be properly adjusted after start-up with
guard on, contact the Kval Technical Support. See “Getting Help from Kval” on page 1-12.
Check Controls
Confirm that all switches are in the “OFF” position. Please be advised that some components of
the machine may start automatically when energy is restored.
Remove Locks
Each operator must remove his or her own lock and tag. This will ensure that all operators are in a
safe place when the equipment is started.
Perform Visual Checks
If the equipment is too large to see all around it, station personnel around the area and sound the
personnel alarm before starting the equipment. If your operation is more complex, your com-
pany’s comprehensive safety procedure may involve additional steps. You will need to ask your
supervisor about these procedures. The company’s lockout procedure should be posted at each
machine. On larger or long-term maintenance or installation projects, the company’s procedures
must be explained to all new operators and a copy of the company’s procedures should be posted
on-site for the duration of the work.
The Company’s procedures should also include provisions for safely handling shift changes and
changes in operators or new operators.Comprehensive Lockout/Tagout may use a gang box or
other system to ensure that locks are secure and not removed without authorization.
Remember, Lockout/Tagout procedures work because you are the only one with the key to your
lock. Proper Lockout/Tagout can save lives, limbs, and money. Help make your work environment
safe for you and your fellow workers. Be sure to follow the P-R-O-P-E-R Lockout/Tagout proce-
dures, and that those around you do also.
