WARNING:
Machine is dangerously tippy and unstable and will cause bodily injury if it is not bolted down.
Before operating, Box and Pan Brake must be bolted to work bench. If floor stand is used, Box
and Pan Brake must be bolted to stand and stand must be bolted to floor.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Mount Brake so that Frame (4) is approximately flush with the edge of bench and bolt or lag in place.
Make certain all Fingers are straight in line and Clamping Screws (10) tightened securely.
Bending clearance should be equal to twice the thickness of material to be bent for heavy gauge sheets
and proportionately less for lighter gauge sheets depending on sharpness of bend desired.
To set bending clearance, loosen Lock Screws (21A), rotate Side Plate Cam Pins (21) to move Fingers
toward or away from Folding Blade as required. Tighten Lock Screws (21A) securely.
To set for duplicate bends, loosen Lock Screw in Stop Collar (5). Insert material and bend to desired
angle. Hold the Folding Blade in position at the completed bend and rotate Stop Collar (5) until Stop Pin
(6) rests on Pin in Frame. Tighten Lock Screw securely.
Reverse bends 1/4” apart can be made by reversing Folding Blade (29).
To adjust clamping, insert sheet under Fingers, loosen Lock Nuts (3) and adjust knurled Screw (2) until
sheet is clamped tightly.
Brake Collar (40) provides adjustable braking or locking, to prevent Upper Bar from dropping
accidentally. To prevent unauthorized use of the machine, tighten Locking Screw securely.
Align Folding Blade with Bed Blade by loosening Blade Bolts and adjusting Set Screws as required.
To gauge bends from 0 to 7” use Finger Gauge with prongs (38) in forward position. (See Fig. 1) For
bends over 7”, Finger Gauge may be swung back as shown in dotted lines Fig. 1 and Back Gauge (37)
(solid face) is used to gauge up to 24”.
Brake is rated for 1 inch minimum flange on capacity material and can be used for capacity bending only
with Reinforcing Angle (32) in place.
CAUTION:
DO NOT BEND HEAVIER MATERIAL THAN RATED CAPACITY, EVEN IN SHORT
LENGTHS.
Occasional oiling of all moving parts will insure smooth, trouble-free operation.
Radius Fingers can be furnished in radii up to 1 inch in all standard finger widths. (Specify desired
radius when ordering) See Fig. 2.
Extension Fingers for forming boxes with inside flanges both R.H. and L.H., as well as 9” open end finger,
are available as extras.
