• Before beginning ANY work with this tool, it is absolutely necessary that it be securely bolted to a sturdy workbench anchored to the
floor or wall.
• Strenuous physical force may need to be applied to the Pan and Box Brake 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.
• The Eastwood Pan and Box Brake was specifically designed to be operated by one person only. Never have one person operate the
Bending Bar while another handles the workpiece or serious injury could occur.
• Excessive resistance while operating could indicate a defect with the workpiece material or broken or damaged Pan and Box Brake
components. To avoid injury, stop work immediately and inspect workpiece material for nicks, dents, welds, excessive scale or remain-
ing coatings. Clean or repair as necessary or discard and begin with a new piece. Also inspect Pan and Box Brake components for
looseness or damage.
SET-UP
• The Eastwood Pan & Box Brake must be
securely
mounted on a heavy, solid workbench, stand, floor, etc, capable of holding the static weight of the unit
plus the stresses from operation. The use of 5/16” through bolts & nuts or longer lag screws with substantial washers, and attachment to a structural
member is absolutely necessary.
• Place the Pan & Box Brake over the chosen location, then mark mounting hole locations by tracing holes in the feet.
ASSEMBLY
• Thread the Handle into the right side Cam
