INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of your Noreld Magnum Door Loader. You can be assured that
this machine was constructed and assembled to a set of rigid specications by trained workers who
take pride in the quality of their work. To safely operate this machine it is vital that you read and
understand all safety and operator instructions.
The Noreld Magnum Door Loader is designed to work with the Signature Series Magnum Door
Machine, or in conjunction with most other vertical door machines not supplied by Noreld Indus-
tries. It provides an economical solution for feeding doors on edge eliminating the need to lift, turn
and feed each door.
Prior to shipment from our factory each Noreld machine is put through a series of tests and inspec-
tions to insure that you are provided with the highest quality product for your business.
In order for this machine to provide you with a long period of continuous and trouble free service,
it is necessary that it be properly installed, operated, and maintained. We urge you to study the
contents of this manual and be guided by the suggestions herein. We strongly recommend that a
periodic review of the contents of this manual be made to maintain a high level of competency when
operating this machine.

SAFETY
Safety considerations are an important element
of machine installation and operation. Active-
ly maintaining a safety mind set about yourself
and others while working around or on the
equipment is of primary importance. Operators and
maintenance personnel should refer to the safety informa-
tion on the following pages to familiarize themselves with
warning labels and practices providing for safe operation
and servicing of this machine.
Danger indicates an imminently hazardous situation, which if not
avoided WILL result in death or serious injury.
Warning indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury.
Caution indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be
used to alert against unsafe practices.
Caution, without the safety alert symbol, indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not avoided M AY result in property
damage but not personal injury.
Notice indicates important information that if not followed may
CAUSE damage to the equipment.
Mandatory Action conveys an action step that should be taken to
avoid the hazard.

SAFETY
Do not operate this machine unless all guards are in place and working cor-
rectly. If any guards or hazard labels are missing or damaged call Noreld’s
Service Department immediately and request a replacement at [phone].
Read and understand the operator’s manual before using this machine. Fail-
ure to follow proper operating instructions could result in death or serious
injury.
This machine, when in operation, produces wood chips and dust. The op-
erator and all persons in the work area MUST wear approved eye protection
with permanently aached, rigid plastic side shields. These safety glasses
must conform to ANSI Z87.1 standards and will have “Z87” printed on the
lens.
This machine, when in operation, produces a noise level greater than 85dB.
The operator and all persons in the work area MUST wear approved hearing
protection. OSHA has determined that a noise level in excess of 85dB aver-
age in 8 hours can cause permanent hearing damage. We recommend that
hearing protection be worn even if the decibel level is below 85dB.
Certain types of wood dust can cause allergic reactions. Sawdust has been
determined to be a Group A carcinogen by the International Agency for Re-
search on Cancer (IARC). A dust collection system or an approved personal
dusk mask MUST be used when operating this equipment.
This machine has moving parts that loose clothing and long hair can become
entangled in. Take care not to become caught between the work material and
the feed mechanisms or any other moving components.
Before beginning any service repairs, general maintenance, or adjustments
you MUST follow proper Lockout Tag-Out procedures. OSHA regulation
1910.147 establishes a minimal lock-out tag-out procedure to assist employ-
ers in the development of their own procedures.
Only trained personnel that have read and understand the operator’s manual
and all the safety precautions may operate this machine.

8
Inspect the machine at the beginning and end of each shift for damaged or
cracked components such as, but not limited to, saw blades, router bits, drill
bits, and boring bits.
Never leave this machine unaended while it is in operation. Make sure that
all electrical and air is in the o position when the machine is not in use or is
unaended and that any cuing blades have come to a complete stop.
Do not aempt to clean material from this machine until all the cuing blades
have come to a complete stop. Even when the machine has been turned to
the “o” position it may take up to several minutes for the blades to coast-
down to a complete stop.
Woodworking machinery is inherently dangerous, common sense and good
safety practices are your best defense against injury.
If you have any questions regarding the correct operation of the machine
and safety procedures in this manual call the Noreld Service Department at
(800)-824-6242

LOCKOUT PROCEDURES
All employees will comply with these procedures. All equipment and/or circuits will be
locked out to protect against accidental or inadvertent operation when such operation of
the equipment and/or circuits could cause injury to personnel. Do not aempt to operate
any switch, valve, or other energy isolating device bearing a lock.
Lockout Responsibility
The primary responsibility for the proper lockout of equipment and /or circuits on a
maintenance or repair project belongs to the project Supervisor and/or Foreman. How-
ever, this does not alleviate any sub-contracted maintenance or repair personnel from
insuring that proper lockout/tagout procedures are followed at all times. The Supervi-
sor and/or Foreman will insure that each employee is properly instructed in the safety
signicance of lockout procedures.
Preparation for Lock-Out of Circuits and Equipment
In the following steps, when more than one individual is involved with the project and
required to lock out the equipment and/or circuits, each employee will place their own
personal lock on the energy isolating devices. A lock for each individual involved is the
preferred method for locking out energy sources. If this not feasible, the designated in-
dividual to the work crew (e.g. the project Supervisor or Foreman) with complete knowl-
edge of who is on the crew may be designated by the work crew as the individual re-
sponsible for carrying out all steps of the lockout procedure. That individual will inform
the work crew when it is safe to work on the equipment and/or circuits. Additionally,
the designated individual will not remove a crew lock until it has been veried that ALL
individuals are clear.
1. Notify all aected employees and customers that a lockout is required and the reason
for it.
2. If the equipment is in operation, after obtaining approval, shut it down by the normal
stopping procedures.
The following is an example of the minimum requirements for a lockout/tagout
procedure. Noreld strongly recommends that your company establish its own wrien
procdeure. OSHA Regulation 1910.147 establishes a minimal lockout/tagout procedure
to assist employers in the development of their own Lockout Procedures
LOCKOUT PROCEDURES

3. Operate the switch, valve or other energy isolating devices so that all energy sources
(electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, etc.) are disconnected or isolated from
the equipment and/or circuits. Stored energy, such as that in capacitors, springs,
elevated machine members, rotating ywheels, hydraulic systems, and air/gas,
steam or water pressure, etc., must also be dissipated or restrained by methods such
as grounding, repositioning, blocking, bleeding down, etc.
4. All aected employees are then required to lockout the energy devices with their
individual lock.
5. After insuring that no personnel are exposed and as a check on having disconnected
the energy sources, operate the push buon or other normal operation controls to
make certain the equipment will not operate. In the event that electrical circuits have
been locked out, insure that the circuits are de-energized by applying an appropriate
voltage tester that itself has been tested on live circuits. Be sure to return all operating
controls to the neutral position.
The equipment and/or circuits are now locked out.
Restoring Equipment and/or Circuits to Service
1. When the job is complete and the equipment or circuits are ready for testing or nor-
mal service, check the equipment and/or circuits to insure that no one is exposed.
2. When the equipment and/or circuits are clear, remove all locks. The energy isolating
devices may be operated to restore energy to the equipment and or circuits.

the person receiving the shipment. After the machine has been un-crated inspect it and all other contents
of the crate for shipping damage. In the event that damage has occurred in transit, notify the freight carrier
and Noreld Industries immediately. Inspect the complete shipment against the packing slip to make sure all
items listed are accounted for. If any shortages are noticed, the freight carrier and Noreld Industries should
be notied immediately. While any shortages, other than back orders, or freight damages are the complete
responsibility of the freight carrier, Noreld Industries desires to be notied so that the replacement of lost or
damaged parts can be expedited.
1-2 INSTALLATION:
The information in this section refers to the installation and setup of the Noreld Magnum Door Loader.
Since the purchase of this machine does not include a start-up by a eld technician, it will be necessary to

INSTALLATION
The information in this manual refers to using the Magnum Door Loader with the Noreld Magnum.
While the Noreld Magnum Door Loader is designed to work with most vertical door machines currently
on the market, Noreld can not guaranty compatibility with any machine not made by Noreld
2.1 ADJUST OUTFEED HEIGHT
1 The outfeed side of the Magnum Door Loader should be 3/16” higher then the other side, refer to
section 1.4. This will cause the door to outfeed at a slightly upward angle.
2 Set the Magnum infeed bed to the height you would normally use for your standard undercut.
3 Loosen the lock nuts and adjust the tilt stop pads so the door rolls out of the Magnum Door Loader and
on to the Magnum infeed bed smoothly. See Figure. 2-1.
4 When the door is on the Magnum infeed bed it should be slightly above the rollers on the Magnum Door
Loader. Tilt up a few inches and down again to conrm that the tilt stop pads contact the stops
simultaneously.
