Adjusting Counterweights
The counterweights add leverage to ease the effort
needed to bend thicker workpieces.
The gauge of the workpiece determines where on the
arm the counterweight is placed. For example, the coun-
terweight would be positioned low on the arm for bend-
ing 20 gauge steel and high on the arm for bending 12
gauge steel.
The counterweights ( Figure 26 ) simply slide up and down
the shafts and the lock collars hold them in place.
To adjust the counterweights, do these steps:
DOWN
1. Push up on the counterweight to relieve pressure,
and turn the bottom lock collar down the shaft.
2
. Allow the counterweight to slide down the shaft, and
finger tighten the top lock collar against the coun-
terweight.
UP
1. Turn the top lock collar up the shaft.
2. Push the counterweight up against the top lock col-
lar, and turn the bottom lock collar up the shaft and
against the counterweight.
Following the adjustments, make sure the counterweights
are securely held between the two pairs of lock collars.

Lift up on the operation handles until the workpiece
has reached the desired angle.
5. Open the clamping leaf and remove the bent
workpiece.
Note
: If a pan or box bend is desired, choose a fin-
ger or a selection of fingers that are as close as pos-
sible to the length of pan or box side lengths.
