TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING
IMPORTANT: Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by skilled workers,
such as a truck operator, crane operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift the machine, attach the
lifting chain carefully, making sure the machine is well balanced.
Follow these guidelines when lifting with truck or trolley:
• The lift truck must be able to lift at least 1.5 – 2 times the machines gross weight.
• Make sure the machine is balanced. While transporting, avoid rough or jerky motion, and
maintain a safe clearance zone around the transport area.
• Use a fork lift with sufficient lifting capacity and forks that are long enough to reach the
complete width of the machine.
• Remove the securing bolts that attach the machine to the pallet.
• Approaching the machine from the side, lift the machine on the frame taking care that there
are no cables or pipes in the area of the forks.
• Move the machine to the required position and lower gently to the floor.
• Level the machine so that all the supporting feet are taking the weight of the machine and no
rocking is taking place.
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
Consider the following when looking for a suitable location to place the machine:
• Overall weight of the machine.
• Weight of material being processed.
• Sizes of material to be processed through the machine.
• Space needed for auxiliary stands, work tables, or other machinery.
• Clearance from walls and other obstacles.
• Maintain an adequate working area around the machine for safety.
• Have the work area well illuminated with proper lighting.
• Keep the floor free of oil and make sure it is not slippery.
• Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from
obstructing objects.

(12.7mm)
• If long lengths of material are to be fed into the machine, make sure that they will not extend
into any aisles.
• LEVELING: The machine should be sited on a level, concrete floor. Provisions for securing it
should be in position prior to placing the machine. The accuracy of any machine depends on
the precise placement of it to the mounting surface.
• FLOOR: This tool distributes a large amount of weight over a small area. Make certain that
the floor is capable of supporting the weight of the machine, work stock, and the operator.
The floor should also be a level surface. If the unit wobbles or rocks once in place, be sure to
eliminate by using shims.
• WORKING CLEARANCES: Take into consideration the size of the material to be
processed. Make sure that you allow enough space for you to operate the machine freely.
Anchoring the Machine
• Once positioned, anchor the machine to the floor, as shown in
the diagram. Use bolts and expansion plugs or sunken tie rods
that connect through and are sized for the holes in the base of
the stand.
• This machine requires a solid floor such as concrete at a
minimum of 4” (102mm) thick. 6” (153mm) minimum is preferred.

• The jaw block assemblies should be lightly
lubricated so that they will slide freely and evenly.
Use a 40 weight motor oil or similar.
• Clean the blocks regularly to prevent them from
collecting dirt and becoming sticky.
• The pads should be kept clean and dry. If the
pads become oily or grease the will slip on the
material. Use a mild solvent to remove any oil or
grease.
• Use the Square pads for Stretching.
• Use the Serrated pads for Shrinking.

between the jaws. The jaws may chip or break causing injury from flying objects.
OPERATION
WARNING: DO NOT step on the foot pedal without having work material
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 dies.
When handling large heavy sheets make sure they are properly supported.
1. Connect an air supply with 80-120psi (5.5-8.2bar). This will fully open the gap between the
jaws.
2. Install the jaws for either shrinking or stretching as desired.
3. Use the hand wheel to set the gap between the upper and lower jaws to allow the material to
move easily between them when the jaws are fully open.
4. Practice with the material and place the foot pedal in a location which is comfortable for
work. (A comfortable location will allow the operator to be balanced and in control of the
material at all times.)
5. Start the hydraulics and begin to form the material by pressing on the foot pedal. The foot
pedal may held for a full cycle or be released at any time. When the pedal is released, the air
pressure will retract the ram lift and open the jaws. PRACTICE.
Operating Tips
The function of this tool is to shrink or stretch sheet metal up to 14ga. (1.9mm).
The principal operation is made when the sheet work piece is placed between the jaws and then
applying and releasing force with the foot on and off of the foot pedal. The work piece is moved
as required each time the foot pedal is released. By moving smoothly you will be able to make
smooth shapes quickly and easily. PRACTICE.
Do a quick test by stepping on the foot pedal and ensuring that the jaws bite down and pull apart
for the stretcher. For the shrinker the jaws should bite down and squeeze together. The jaws
should return to their open relaxed position between strokes and when the foot pedal is
released.

potentially hazardous to operator or
personnel working nearby.
Try using the tool with a sample piece of metal to get a feel for how it operates. Place the
material in the middle of the jaw box and step down on the foot pedal to form the metal. Work
the leading edge of the material first to break down the initial resistance of the metal. Move the
metal back and forth until the desired radius is obtained. You can control the pressure exerted
on the metal by how tight the gap is set between the jaw and how long you hold down the foot
pedal.
The jaws have fine toothed edges to hold the piece part in place. Marks left on your piece part
can be removed with either an abrasive cloth or a wheel for appearance.
MATERIAL SELECTION
CAUTION: It must be determined by the customer that materials being
processed through the machine are NOT
When selecting materials keep these instructions in mind:
• Material must be clean and dry. (without oil)
• Material should have a smooth surface so it processes easily.
• Dimensional properties of material must be consistent and not exceed the machine capacity
values.
• Chemical structure of material must be consistent.
• Buy certificated steel from the same vendor when possible.
UNDERSTANDING SPRINGBACK
Springback, also known as elastic recovery, is the result of the metal wanting to return to its
original shape after undergoing compression and stretch. After the bending leaf is removed from
the metal and the load is released, the piece part relaxes, forcing the bent portion of the metal to
return slightly to its original shape. The key to obtaining the correct bend angle is to over bend
the metal a little and allow it to spring back to the desired angle. All metals exhibit a certain
amount of spring back.

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on
the machine.
Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by qualified personnel.
Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery.
• Check daily for any unsafe conditions and fix immediately.
• Check that all nuts and bolts are properly tightened.
• On a weekly basis clean the machine and the area around it.
• Lubricate threaded components and sliding devices.
• Apply rust inhibitive lubricant to all non-painted surfaces.
Note: Proper maintenance can increase the life expectancy of your machine.
