OPERATION
The function of this tool is to shrink or stretch sheet metal up to 16 ga. (1.5mm) with radius down
to 1” (25.4mm)
The principal operation is made when the sheet work piece is placed between the jaws and then
applying and releasing force with the foot on the foot pedal. The work piece is moved as
required each time the foot pedal is released. By moving smoothly you will be able to make
smooth shapes quickly and easily. PRACTICE.
MATERIAL SELECTION
When selecting materials keep these instructions in mind:
Material must be clean and dry. (without oil)
Material should have a smooth surface so it processes easily.
Dimensional properties of material must be consistent and not exceed the machine capacity
values.
Chemical structure of material must be consistent.
Buy certificated steel from the same vendor when possible.
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.
CAUTION:
Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety
footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges.
Keep hands and fingers clear of the dies.
When handling large heavy sheets make sure they are properly supported.
WARNING:
DO NOT step on the foot pedal without having work material
between the jaws. The jaws may chip or break causing injury from fling objects.
