Additional Safety for Pan & Box Brakes
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies
to your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equip-
ment, or poor work results.
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents
are frequently caused by lack of familiarity
or failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to decrease the
risk of operator injury. If normal safety pre-
cautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.
CRUSHING & AMPUTATION INJURIES. The
brake can quickly crush or amputate fingers,
hands, or body parts. Never place fingers, hands,
or body parts between or near the clamping fin-
gers and bending blocks during operation.
SECURING BRAKE. Before using, secure the
brake to the workbench so it can support the
weight and dynamic forces involved in bending
sheet metal. Otherwise, the brake may unexpect-
edly move or tip during operation, causing serious
injury or property damage.
TOOLS IN POOR CONDITION. Using this tool
with loose hardware or damaged components
could result in sudden, unexpected movements
during use. Inspect the brake for cracked compo-
nents, damaged linkage, levers, or loose fasten-
ers. Correct any problems before use.
LEAVING UNATTENDED. To reduce the risk of
crushing or amputation injuries with children or visi-
tors, lower the clamping leaf when not in use.
Hands/fingers can be crushed or severely pinched if caught between clamping fingers and
bending blocks during operation. Severe cuts can occur to hands/fingers when contacting
sharp workpiece edges. To minimize risk of injury, anyone operating this machine MUST
completely heed the hazards and warnings below.
METAL EDGES. Sharp edges on sheet metal can
produce severe cuts. Always wear leather gloves
and chamfer/de-burr sharp sheet metal edges
before bending the workpiece with this machine.
COMFORTABLE BODY POSITION. The required
body motion to operate the brake can result in
operator injury over time if proper ergonomics are
not used during operation.
HEATING METAL. Heating the workpiece with a
torch or welding it while clamped in the brake may
weaken the fingers, blocks, and frame. Do not use
a torch, welder, or other similar heating tool near
the brake.
CAPACITY. Exceeding the capacity of the brake
may result in sudden breakage that ejects danger-
ous metal debris at the operator or bystanders, or
causes machine damage. Only use sheet metal
that is within the rated capacity of this brake (refer
to the
Machine Data Sheet).
