• Before beginning ANY work with this tool, it is absolutely necessary that it be
mounted in a properly sized 12 to 20 ton hydraulic press which is securely
bolted to a sturdy workbench or anchored to the floor or wall.
• Strenuous physical force may need to be applied to the Press Brake Attach-
ment during use. Failure to ensure proper footing can quickly result in a fall
which could inflict serious personal injury or property damage. Always work
in a clean, uncluttered environment.
• Be sure there is sufficient working room around the tool to allow for safe
handling of various sizes of metal.
• Excessive resistance while operating could indicate a defect with the work-
piece material or broken or damaged Press Brake Attachment components.
To avoid injury, stop work immediately and inspect workpiece material for
nicks, dents, welds, excessive scale or remaining coatings. Clean or repair
as necessary or discard and begin with a new piece. Also inspect Press
Brake components and host hydraulic press for looseness or damage.
