OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
For THE Z-FLEX CURVER II
After several runs through the machine, turning
the wheel and feeding in the profile at the same
time, the profile is eventually bent to the radius
required.
The pictures show the curver without its protective cover
so that the various steps can be illustrated more clearly.
Never use the curver without its protective cover.
By turning the BENDING WHEEL with a spanner,
the profile is gradually fed in and initially
curved to a wide radius.
The Z-FLEX-Curver is secured firmly
to a bench or similar surface by means
of the supplied clamps.
The BENDING WHEEL is moved away
from the GUIDE WHEEL by turning the
ADJUSTING SCREW with a spanner.
Once this is done, feed in the profile so that
it touches both the FIXED GUIDE WHEELS;
then move the BENDING WHEEL back
until it clamps the profile gently.
For narrow radius, the profile needs to
be turned through several times. To this
end, the GUIDE WHEEL has to be undone
with a box spanner and moved back;
the BENDING WHEEL is then moved
by means of the ADJUSTING SCREW
so that it once again traps the profile.
The Z-FLEX-Curver consists of:
a PROTECTIVE COVER
a BENDING WHEEL
that can be

adjust by a SREW
a movable GUIDE WHEEL

two more fixed GUIDE WHEELS
two HOLDING CLAMPS

To prevent twisting of the profile and
damage, the profile needs to be secured
by the two HOLDING CLAMPS.
With the Z-FLEX-Curver DURAL profiles with the special Z-FLEX punch, such as DUROSOL square edge
profiles, DURAPLUS box section profiles with the wide visible edge, DURATRANS transition profiles,
DURONDELL quarter round profiles, T-FLOOR transition strip and FLORENTOSTEP (see page 2), can be
easily formed into curved shapes.
