Full Clamping Not Operating
If you are not achieving a full clamp, the angle micro switch may not be fully actuated.
To check that the angle micro switch is being fully actuated.

The micro switch can be found on the electrical panel located at the end of the square brass
section. The brass section is attached to the angle indicating mechanism.

To access the electrical panel, the rear cover must be removed.

When the bending beam is lifted this rotates the brass section which in turn depresses the
micro switch. You should be able to hear the micro switch click on and off.

Failing this, adjust the clutching force. This can be done by ensuring that two M8 cap head
screws at either end of the actuator shaft are secured.

This adjustment should ensure that the actuator rotates and clutches, however, if you are still
unable to hear the click, the micro switch may need adjusting.

The actuator can be adjusted by loosening the screw that secures it, making the adjustment,
followed by re-tightening the screw.

If the micro switch does not click on and off after you have made the above adjustments and
rotated the bending beam to the maximum stops, then the switch may be fused and would
need to be replace. Call or email your distributor.
Clamp Bar Not Being Released
This is caused by the failure of the reverse pulse de-magnetizing circuit. Check for sticky
contacts on the relay and clean.
The 6.8 power resistor or diodes could faulty which will have to be replaced.
Problem with the bending of heavy gauge sheet metal

Ensure that sheet metal thickness is within the specifications of the machine.

It may occur if narrow lips are being bent over the full length of the machine, please note that
the machine is not equipped to do this.

Should the work piece not be level (i.e. have a welded seam or a joint) it may not be possible
to bend the work piece. Ensure that all spaces under the clamp bar are filled with flat pieces
of scrap metal.
