Hurco is committed to designing reliable, easy-to-operate machines which
promote greater productivity. This system will provide a modern, efficient
method of meeting metal forming needs. To prevent serious bodily injury,
always observe the safety precautions listed in this manual when installing,
operating, and servicing the Autobend System.
These and other safety precautions are discussed in the American National
Standards Institute’s “Standard for Machine Tools - Power Press Brakes -
Safety Requirements for Construction, Care, and Use” (ANSI B11.3). The
press brake operator’s responsibility regarding his or her own safety, the
safety of assigned helpers, and the safety of others affected by the press
brake operator’s acts is explained in this ANSI publication which is
available from:

In preparing these instructions, we have attempted to recommend the most
effective methods and cautions to warn against actions that could cause
personal injury or make the equipment unsafe. It is important to
understand that Hurco cannot anticipate or list all conceivable methods
and warn of all possible hazards. In the interest of promoting safety, Hurco
advises that service personnel and operators should always make sure that
personal safety, the safety of the operator, and the safe operation of the
machine will not be adversely affected by their actions. Review the list of
safety precautions before attempting to service or operate the system. Also
review the manuals furnished by your press brake manufacturer for
additional safety information and procedures that must be observed.
