READ INSTRUCTIONS
• Thoroughly read and understand this manual before using.
• Save for future reference.
PINCH AND CRUSH HAZARD!
• The Eastwood Vise Press Brake consists of sharp metal components which
can present a hand/finger pinch hazard and cause potentially serious
injuries. Avoid pinching hands while handling. Keep fingers and hands away
from moving parts when operating.
CUT HAZARD!
• Handling sharp metal can cause serious cuts. Wear thick, well-fitting work
gloves to prevent cuts from handling sharp metal.
EYE INJURY HAZARD!
• Metal particles can be ejected from the metal surface when bending.
Sheet metal edges and corners are sharp and can injure eyes.
Always wear ANSI approved eye protection when operating this tool.
• Before beginning ANY work with this tool, it is absolutely necessary that it
be mounted in a properly sized vise securely bolted to a sturdy, workbench
anchored to the floor or wall.
• Strenuous physical force may need to be applied to the Vise Press 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.
• Excessive resistance while operating could indicate a defect with the
workpiece material or broken or damaged Vise Press Brake components.
To avoid injury, stop work immediately and inspect workpiece material for
nicks, dents, welds, excessive scale or remaining coatings. Clean or repair
as necessary or discard and begin with a new piece. Also inspect Vise Press
Brake components for looseness or damage.
