ADJUSTING FOR
3.
Move the upper beam forward or back until proper clearance is achieved
MATERIAL
by turning the thickness adjusting screw located at rear of the leg bracket
THICKNESS
on each end of the machine (see Figure 4). Final adjustment must
always be toward the front of the brake to remove backlash from the
adjusting screws.
4.
Retighten the clamping screw on each end of the machine (see
Figure 4).
SETTING UP
It is sometimes necessary to remove the bending reinforcing angle to make
FOR NARROW
narrow or offset bends. In extreme conditions, it may also be necessary to
OR OFFSET
remove the bending bar. The bending bar is made of tough, wear resistant
BENDS
material to protect the edge of the apron and should be removed only when
absolutely necessary to make tight reverse bends.
Removing the bending reinforcing angle reduces capacity by four (4) gauges.
The rated 16 ga. capacity is reduced to 20 ga. capacity. Removing both the
bending reinforcing angle and the bending bar reduces the 16 ga. capacity to
24 gauge capacity.

Figure 5. Removal of the Bending Reinforcing Angle and the Bending Bar
Remove the bending reinforcing angle and the bending bar as follows:
1.
Support the bending reinforcing angle and remove retaining screws.
Withdraw the angle from the machine (see Figure 5).
2.
Support the bending bar and remove retaining screws. Withdraw the bar
from the machine (see Figure 5).
3.
After the bending operation is complete, be sure to replace the removed
components, attaching them with the retaining screws. Tighten the
screws securely.
