CHAPTER 1 Introduction to the 990-H Door Hanging System This chapter provides an overview of the KVAL 990-H Door Hanging System and important safety information to follow when operating the machine. Chapter 1 at a Glance Chapter 1 at a Glance ..................
KVAL's 990-H is the fastest and most productive pre-hanging system available in the industry. The 990-H will rout and chisel a door and jamb for three hinges, drill pilot holes for the hinge screws, mortise for the lock, and apply three hinges. This machine is generally used in conjunc- tion with the ON-2012 for in-feed and out-feed operations.
• CAUTION means if the precaution is not taken, it may cause minor or moderate injury. Safety Guidelines In addition to the caution and warning labels affixed to the 990-H system, follow the guidelines below to help ensure the safety of equipment and personnel. Training...

CHAPTER 2 Operation of the 990-H This chapter describes components, assemblies, and the user interface of the KVAL 990-H Door Hanging System. The content is geared to help operators understand the basic operation of the 990H. Included are instructions to calibrate the machine and run a door.
While the hinge process takes place a door lock and face plate is drilled. Feeding the door to the 990-H, is an ON-2012 config- ured as a feeder. On the output is an ON-2012 configured as a stacker. Figure 2- 1 below, shows...
Operator’s Tour 990-H Machine Tour The 990-H can be paired with different feeder and stacker model numbers. This manual assumes the ON-2012 as a feeder and stacker. These machines are addressed in separate manuals. 990-H Door Hanger ON-2012 Stacker ON-2012 Feeder The 990-H Door Hanging System FIGURE 2- 2.
