WARNING
The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions or situations that could occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors that cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

Important:

Your machine may be shipped with a rustproof waxy oil coating and grease on the exposed unpainted metal surfaces. To remove this protective coating, use a degreaser or solvent cleaner. For am or e thorough cleaning, some parts will occasionally have to be removed. DO NOT USE acetone or brake cleaner as they may damage painted surfaces.

Follow manufacturer’s label instructions when using any type of cleaning product. After cleaning, wipe unpainted metal surfaces with a light coating of quality oil or grease for protection.

WARNING
DO NOT USE gasoline or other petroleum products to clean the machine.
They have low flash points and can explode or cause fire.

CAUTION
When using cleaning solvents work in a well- ventilated area. Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled.

Assembly

IMPORTANT:
Consider the following when looking for a suitable location to place the machine:

1. Overall weight of the machine.
2. Weight of material being processed.
3. Sizes of material to be processed through the machine.
4. Space needed for auxiliary stands, work tables, or other machinery.
5. Clearance from walls and other obstacles.
6. Maintain an adequate working area around the machine for safety.
7. Have the work area well illuminated with proper lighting.
8. Keep the floor free of oil and make sure it is not slippery.
9. Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from obstructing objects.
10. If long lengths of material are to be fed into the machine, make sure that they will not extend into any aisles.

Before beginning assembly, take note of the following precautions and suggestions.

1. Is the machine bolted to the pallet? Before attempting any of the assembly procedures remove all of the loose parts and hardware and unbolt the machine from the pallet.
2. LEVELING : The machine should be sited on a level, concrete floor. Provisions for securing it should be in position prior to placing the machine. The accuracy of any machine depends on its precise placement on the mounting surface.
3. FLOOR : This tool distributes a large amount of weight over a small area. Make certain that the floor is capable of supporting the weight of the machine, work stock, and the operator. The floor should also be a level surface. If the unit wobbles or rocks once in place, be sure to eliminate it by using shims.
4. WORKING CLEARANCES : Take into consideration the size of the material to be processed. Make sure that you allow enough space for you to operate the machine freely.

Anchoring the Machine

1. Position the machine on a firm and level concrete floor.
2. Maintain a safe operating distance around the machine.
3. Anchor the machine to the floor, as shown in the diagram, using bolts and expansion plugs or sunken tie rods that connect through holes in the base of the stand.(Pic.1)
   

Attaching the Counter weight

1. Have a helper hold the counterweight.
2. Back off the two hex bolts and slide the counterweight rod into the receiver pipe.
3. When the rod is flush with the bottom of the receiver, tighten the hex bolts.(Pic.2)
   

NOTE
DO NOT use the counterweight handle to raise the bending leaf. You may damage the hinges or the bending leaf.

Adjusting the Stop Rod

The stop rod is used for repeat bending when you want the bending leaf to stop at the same position each time.

1. Loosen the stop nut and washer and make your bend, stopping at the top of the bend.
2. Tighten the nut and washer up to the stop block.
3. The bending angle can now be repeated until reset by the operator.

Adjusting the Setback

Setback is the distance from the front edge of the finger to the front edge of the clamp block as shown in picture. This distance is determined by the gauge (thickness) of the piece part and inside radius of the bend . The setback is typically 1- 1/2-2 times the material thickness. (Pic.4)

1. To adjust, make sure all the fingers are properly aligned with each other and the hold down assembly is not locked in the down position.
2. Loosen the setscrews (C) at the back of the hold down assembly (Pic. 5).
3. Insert a tool, such as an Allen wrench, into one of the spoke holes of the eccentric hub and rotated it, which moves the hold down assembly either forward or back.
4. When the fingers are at the correct setback distance and parallel to the clamp block edge, tighten the setscrews (C).
   

Adjusting the Clamping Pressure

CAUTION

1. Excessive clamping pressure can “pre-load” and permanently distort the brake.
2. DO NOT bend material heavier than the rated capacity, even in shorter lengths.
3. Use material with square-sheared edges.(a rolled edge will cause bowing).
4. Bending a round object will warp or nick the clamp edge.
5. Adjust the clamp pressure accordingly for different metal gauges.
6. Do not use a pipe extension on the clamp bars to get more leverage.

The clamping pressure may have to be adjusted as the thickness of the piece part changes. A suitable pressure should have a medium resistance when pulling back on the hold down handle(s).At the end of the stroke there should be a definite locking of the piece part under the clamping leaf.
To adjust the pressure, move the nuts on the threaded link shaft either up or down.

1. To adjust the clamping pressure, tighten both sides of the clamping leaf with a piece part in the brake.
   a. If the clamping pressure seems light and the piece part is loose in the clamp, move the adjusting nuts UP.
   b. If the clamping pressure seems hard and you can’t lock the handles, move the adjusting nuts DOWN.
   c. Once the pressure feels right, no further adjustments are necessary for this thickness piece part . (When changing thickness it may become necessary to adjust again.)

2. Remove the piece part from under the clamping leaf, lock down the leaf with the handles, and loosen pressure on the top nut.

3. Unlock the clamping leaf and turn the bottom nut ½ turn in the desired direction.

4. Lock the clamping leaf, re-tighten the top nut, and repeat Step 1 above until the desired pressure is reached.
   

Clamp Alignment(end to end)

Make a 90°test bend about 2”(50.8mm) from each end of the machine. Stack the bent strips on top of each other and check that they are bent to the same degree.
If a strip is over bent, increase the setback distance on that side. If a strip is under bent, decrease the setback distance on that side. Again, move the setback adjustment past the desired set back point, and then forward to remove the slack.

Bending Wing Alignment

Bending accuracy is dependent on the top surface of the bending leaf and the attached bending wing being flush with the top face of the clamping block when the bending leaf is in the lowered position. If it appears that an adjustment is necessary, contact service team local, or manufacture.

Operation

When performing basic bending operations it is important that the fingers of the brake are parallel with the edge of the clamping block. Also make sure you have the proper setback and clamping pressure set for the thickness material being bent.

CAUTION
Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges.

CAUTION
Keep hands and fingers clear of the clamping beam. Stand off to the side of the machine to avoid getting hit with the bending apron as it comes up to bend.

CAUTION
When handling large heavy sheets make sure they are properly supported.

Bending Sheet Metal

1. Lift and rotate the clamping handle (cw) clockwise to raise the clamping assembly.

2. Insert the piece part between the clamp block and the brake fingers.

3. Align the fingers of the hold down assembly to the scribed bend line of the piece part and clamp in place by pulling the clamp handle back.
   NOTE
   DO NOT force the clamping handle. The holding pressure only needs to be tight enough to hold the sheet metal from moving when bending.

4. Pull up on the bending leaf handles until the piece part has reached the desired bend angle.

5. Lower the bending leaf, raise the hold down assembly, and remove the bent piece part.

6. If you are doing box and pan bending, choose fingers that closely match the dimensions of the finished piece.

BENDING ALLOWANCE

In order to bend sheet me ta l accurately, you will need to consider the total length of each bend. This is referred to as bend allowance. Subtract the bend allowance from the sum of the outside dimensions of the piece part to obtain the actual overall length or width of the piece. Because of differences in sheet metal hardness, and whether the bend is made with the grain or against it, exact allowances must sometimes be made by trial and error.
However bend allowances for general use can be obtained from metal working books or from the Internet.

UNDER STANDING SPRINGBACK

Spring back, also known as elastic recovery, is the result of the metal wanting to return to its original shape after undergoing compression and stretch . After the bending leaf is removed from the metal and the load is released, the piece part relaxes, forcing the bent portion of the metal to return slightly to its original shape .
The key to obtaining the correct bend angle is to over bend the metal a little and allow it to spring back to the desired angle . All metals exhibit a certain amount of spring back.

MATERIAL SELECTION

CAUTION
It must be determined by the customer that materials being processed through the machine are NOT potentially hazardous to operator or personnel working nearby.

When selecting materials keep these instructions in mind:

1. Material must be clean and dry. (without oil)
2. Material should have a smooth surface so it processes easily.
3. Dimensional properties of material must be consistent and not exceed the machine capacity values.
4. Chemical structure of material must be consistent.
5. Buy certificated steel from the same vendor when possible.

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING
Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by qualified personnel.
Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery.

1. Check daily for any unsafe conditions and fix immediately.
2. Check that all nuts and bolts are properly tightened.
3. On a weekly basis clean the machine and the area around it.
4. Lubricate threaded components and sliding devices.
5. Apply rust inhibitive lubricant to all non-painted surfaces.

Oil Ports

Using an oil can with a good quality #30W oil, apply 5-6 drops into each of the ports on both ends of the machine. Repeat weekly or more often depending on usage. Wipe off any excess oil.

NOTE
Proper maintenance can increase the life expectancy of your machine.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Fingers are not aligned
2. Setback distance is not equal from one side to the other
3. Clamping assembly is not holding piece part securely.

| Follow proper finger alignment procedure. Accurately measure distance and set accordingly.
