INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this CLARKE Bead Roller.
The bead roller is excellent for producing strengthening ribs in panels used in creating
replacement floor pans, bulkhead panels, inner wing panels etc. The gear-driven
design of the steel bead roller machine delivers maximum forming power while
requiring minimal handle force for the greatest accuracy.
The sheet metal roller comes with 6 sets of dies in total, as listed in the specification
below.
Before attempting to use the bead roller it is essential that you read this manual
thoroughly and carefully follow all instructions given. In doing so you will ensure the
safety of yourself and that of others around you and you can also look forward to the
product giving you long and satisfactory service.

UNPACKING & ASSEMBLY
Ensure the product suffered no damage during transit and that all items are present.
Should any loss or damage become apparent, please contact your CLARKE dealer
immediately.
The numbers in the diagrams refer to the component parts on pages 7 & 8.
1. Place the Bead Roller in a vice as shown in Figure 1 and tighten securely to hold
the machine.
2. Slide the handle (12) onto the Driving Shaft (3).
3. Using an open ended wrench, tighten the bolt (11) securely. Ensure the bolt is
positioned over the flat surface on the Driving Shaft (3).
OPERATION
ALIGNMENT
The Bead Roller usually needs no alignment by the operator. However, poor alignment
will affect the quality of metal forming and the ability of the machine to cut sheet
metal.
If you experience either of these problems, perform the following alignment steps.
1. Set up the Bead Roller with Cutting Dies (10-01,10-02) and Cutting Plates (9) as
shown in Figure 2.

2. Inspect the Cutting Plates (9) as shown in Figure 2. When the Bead Roller is
properly aligned, the edges of the Cutting Plates (9) should be touching (or almost
touching). If they are not, perform the following steps.
NOTE: If the edges are touching and the machine does not cut material
properly, adjust the roller tension as discussed in the section titled:
Adjusting Roller Tension.
3. Using the Hex Key (27), loosen the screws (16) that secure the Gear (5) and
Collar (6) to the Driving Shaft (3).
4. Slide the Driving Shaft (3) until the edges of the Cutting Plates (9) are touching.
5. By hand, move the Collar (6) on the Driving Shaft (3), so its edge is touching the
Roller Block (2) and tighten it’s screws (16).
6. Move the gear (5) so it’s side is touching the Collar (6) on the Driving Shaft (3)
and tighten it’s screws (16).
CHANGING ROLLERS
The Bead Roller Kit comes with a variety of bead and flange dies, as well as the
cutting dies & plates that are assembled to the machine before shipping. Use the
following instructions when you change dies.
1. Using a wrench, loosen the bolt (15). See Figure 3.
2. Using a hex wrench, remove the eight screws (18) and spring washers (25),
securing the Cutting Plates (9) to the Cutting Dies (10-01,10-02). See Figure 3.
3. Remove the Cutting Plates (9).

2. Slide both dies onto the Driving Shaft (3) and Driving Shaft (4) at the same time
(see Figure 4). Ensure that the screws (16) are positioned over the flat surface on
the Driving Shaft (3) and Driving Shaft (4).
3. By hand, install the two bolts (14) and washers (13). Tighten the bolts (14) with a

ADJUSTING ROLLER TENSION
1. Adjust the bolt (15) finger tight.
2. Using a wrench, tighten 1 to 3 turns, depending on desired results.
IN USE
It may be helpful if two people operate the Bead Roller depending on the size of the
workpiece. One person should guide the metal along the roller while a second person
cranks the handle.
Metal forming is an art requires good communication between the person cranking
and the one guiding the metal, particularly on corners.
1. Mark your rib, flange pattern, or cut-line on the material.
2. Insert and guide the metal through the dies while cranking the handle (see Figure
5).
