OPERATION
When performing basic bending operations it is important that the fingers of the brake are
parallel with the edge of the clamping block. Also make sure you have the proper setback and
clamping pressure set for the thickness material being bent.
CAUTION:
Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety
footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges.
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.
When handling large heavy sheets make sure they are properly supported.
Bending Sheet Metal
1. Lift and rotate the clamping handle ( cw ) clockwise to raise the clamping assembly.
2. Insert the piece part between the clamp block and the brake fingers.
3. Align the fingers of the hold down assembly to the scribed bend line of the piece part and
clamp in place by pulling the clamp handle back.
Note: DO NOT force the clamping handle. The holding pressure only needs to be
tight enough to hold the sheet metal from moving when bending.
4. Pull up on the bending leaf handles until the piece part has reached the desired bend angle.
5. Lower the bending leaf, raise the hold down assembly, and remove the bent piece part.
6. If you are doing box and pan bending, choose fingers that closely match the dimensions of
the finished piece.
