10 ga.
(.1345)
OPERATION – AUTO CYCLE
1. Set the clamping beam to the thickness of the material you will be
bending. (fig. 14) shows the adjusting bolts set for 10 ga. as read
on the gauge. See the section on clamping beam pressure
adjustments for setting the bolts.
2. Adjust the finger setback or “
W
” dimension (fig. 15) with the
formula: “
W
” = (material thickness) x 1.2. This will help keep the
material from tearing when the bend is made. To make the
adjustment, loosen the setscrews on both ends of the machine as
indicated with the arrow in (fig. 16). Turn the handwheels to set
the “
W
” dimension along the full length of the clamping beam.
3. If you are doing box and pan braking, arrange the fingers
accordingly. (See the section on
finger
removal
).
CAUTION:
Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety
footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges.
When handling large heavy material make sure they are properly supported.
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.
