IMPORTANT
YOU are responsible for the SAFE operation and
maintenance of your ValMetal Stationnary Vertical
Mixer. YOU must ensure that you and anyone else
who is going to operate, maintain or work around the
machine be familiar with the operating and mainte-
nance procedures and related SAFETY information
contained in this manual.
Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety
practices not only protect you but also the people
around you. Make these practices a working part of
your safety program. Be certain that EVERYONE
operating this equipment is familiar with the recom-
mended operating and maintenance procedures and
follows all the safety precautions. Most accidents
can be prevented. Do not risk injury or death by
ignoring good safety practices.
Mixer owners must give operating instructions to
operators or employees before allowing them to
operate the machine, and at least annually thereafter
per OSHA regulation 1928.57.
The most important safety device on this equipment
is a SAFE operator. It is the operator's responsibility
to read and understand ALL Safety and Operating

accidents can be avoided.
A person who has not read and understood all oper-
ating and safety instructions is not qualified to oper-
ate the machine. An untrained operator exposes
himself and bystanders to possible serious injury or
death.
Do not modify the equipment in any way.
Unauthorized modification may impair the function
