SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Know the safety and operating instructions contained in this brochure. Become
familiar with and understand the limitations of this machine. Always practice safety.
2.
Wear approved eye safety protection such ass glasses, goggles, etc., when operating
the brake to protect your eyes.
3.
4.
5.
When bending capacity material use your legs and arms for making the bend,
similar to lifting a heavy object, to avoid back strain. Maximum length and capacity
material is a two person job. Adjust the counterweights to provide maximum
assistance on heavy bends.
6.
7.
Never use a pipe or bar on the clamp handles or apron handles for additional leverage.
Do not push or pull on the counterweights during the bending process. The
counterweights intended purpose is to reduce the force required the lift the apron.
8.
Keep clear of the counterweight and apron swing area while operating the brake.
9.
Keep the work area around the brake clear and clean to avoid slipping or tripping

PRECAUTIONS
OO NOT USE THE BRAKE TO BEND RODS, NAILS OR WIRE. THIS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
EDGE OF THE NOSE BAR AND APRON.
ALWAYS ADJUST THE CLEARANCE AND CLAMPING PRESSURE FOR DIFFERENT THICKNESSES
OF MATERIAL.
OO NOT EXCEED THE CAPACITY OF THE BRAKE. MAKE CERTAIN THAT APRON SUPPORT ANGLE
AND APRON INSERT IS ATTACHED TO THE APRON ASSEMBLY WHEN MAKING CAPACITY BENDS.
OTHERWISE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE APRON MAY RESULT.
OO NOT USE PIPE EXTENSIONS TO GAIN ADDITIONAL LEVERAGE ON THE CLAMP HANDLES.
ALWAYS USE MATERIAL WITH SQUARE SHEARED EDGES FOR BEST RESULTS. ROLLED EDGES,
BENT OR WARPED MATERIAL WILL CUASE THE MATERIAL TO BOW WHEN BENT. KEEP SHEAR
BLADES AND SLITTER KNIVES SHARP.
ALWAYS BEND SHORT PIECES OF MATERIAL IN THE CENTER OF THE BRAKE IN ORDER TO
EQUALIZE THE STRESS.
MAINTENANCE
Set up a weekly maintenance program for your brake. Check all nuts, bolts and set screws
for tightness. Examine all moving parts for adequate lubrication.
The
parts and
