OPERATION
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT run the magnetic brake
without material between the clamping bar and the
electromagnetic work bench. This will cause heat buildup
within the magnet, possibly damaging the magnet.
Sheet Metal Bending
1. If you are using the clamp bars with the lifting balls, make
sure they are both properly seated in the pockets of the
workbench. (fig. 6)
2. Remove or install the bending leaf extension as needed for
the material to be formed. See specification page.
Note:
Typically for mild steel, 16ga., extension
OFF. 18ga. extension On or Off, 20ga. and thinner, extension
On. When forming around round stock as in Rolling and Edge,
the extension bar is typically installed. The bending leaf
extension is shown installed.
3. Set the machine for the material thickness you will be
bending. Raise the bending leaf 90° as shown in (fig. 7).
Rotate the knobs on each end of the clamping bar which
adjusts the setback distance gap. Set this gap at slightly
more than the material thickness to achieve an accurate
bend. There are three positions on the knobs (0
– 1 – 2)
which are useful when doing repeat bending.
4. Press the RED power rocker switch to turn on the
machine.
CAUTION:
Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety
footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges.
When handling large heavy materials make sure they are properly supported.
Keep hands and fingers clear of the clamping beam. Stand off to the side of the
machine to avoid getting hit with the bending apron as it comes up to bend.
The bending brake poses a pinching hazard. Make sure no body part or clothing
comes between the clamping bar and the bending leaf.
