OPERATION
• Select the Finger width or combination of Fingers required to
bend the desired width of Sheetmetal.
• Add or delete Fingers as required by loosening the 6mm
Socket Head Cap Screws to remove Fingers
(FIG 2)
.
• To add Fingers to achieve desired width, set in place and
secure with a Socket Head Cap Screw and securely tighten
with 6mm Hex Key (not Included).
NOTE:
Several adjustments must be made prior to bending metal.
• Adjust Finger Alignment – The Fingers need to be aligned
squarely with one another, the lower machined Platen
Surface, and the upper cam driven Pressure Bar.
- To adjust, loosen the socket head cap screws retaining
the Fingers with a 6mm Hex Key (Not Included).
- Move Fingers so the top edges are square to the
Pressure Bar and the sides are square to adjoining
Fingers
(FIG 2)
.
• Adjust Pivot-Cams for Bend Radius – The Pivot-Cams adjust
the Knife-Edge of the Fingers in or out to provide the correct
bend radius for the thickness and composition of the material
being bent.
- To adjust, use a 2.5mm Hex Key (not Included)
to loosen the Set-Screws at the upper rear of the
Frame
(FIG 3)
.
- Insert a smaller Philips screw driver into one of the
several holes around the circumference of the Cam and
rotate it forward or back as required to move the Knife-
edge of the Fingers toward or away from the edge of the
machined Platen surface
(FIG 3)
.
NOTICE:
Do not allow the Knife-edge of the fingers to pro-
trude beyond the edge of the machined Platen or permanent
damage to the Fingers and Bending Bar will occur.
