OPERATION MANUAL
Installing Bead and Flange Dies
1. Select the correct bead or flange dies for the job you are going to do.
2. Slide both dies onto the Driving Shaft(3#) and Driven Shaft(4#) at the same time
(see Figure 8). Ensure that the Screws(16#) are positioned over the flat surface on the
Driving Shaft(3#) and Driven Shaft(4#).
3. By hand, install the two Bolts (30#) and Washers(13#).Tighten Bolts (30#) with a Hex Key
Wrench.
4. Tighten the two Screws (16#).
5. Check to ensure that the dies are aligned. If not aligned then see “Alignment” on Page 9.
Adjusting Roller Tension:
1. Adjust the Handle (39#) finger tight.
2. Using the handle, tighten 1 to 3 turns, depending on desired results.
Metalmaster advises to turn the handle slowly as you work. A variety of metals and material
gauge will produce a different result with the same dies and will require various degrees of
effort.
NOTE: Safety Usage
Wherever possible only one person should operate the Bead Roller. It is dangerous when more
than one person uses the machine. If one person is used to crank the handle and another is
used to guide the metal along the roller, it can be possible that lack of communication
between the two operators may cause accidents to happen. Metal forming is an art and in
some cases may require two operators. Good communication between the person cranking
and the one guiding the metal particularly on corners, is essential and all care should be taken
in these cases.
