Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this

owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained operators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed. Only allow trained/supervised people to use this machine. When machine is not being used, disconnect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially around children. Make your workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental alertness is required for safe operation of machinery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live electrical components or improperly grounded machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified service personnel to do electrical installation or repair work, and always disconnect power before accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. nect machine from power supply BEFORE making adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine. This prevents an injury risk from unintended startup or contact with live electrical components.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or a face shield when operating or observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT approved safety glasses.

Always discon-

Page 9

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing protection when operating or observing loud machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing protection can cause permanent hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on machinery can become dangerous projectiles upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches, or any other tools on machine. Always verify removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use this tool for its intended purpose—do not force it or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Never make unapproved modifications—modifying tool or using it differently than intended may result in malfunction or mechanical failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when operating machine. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that make workpiece control difficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce accidental contact with moving parts or flying debris. Make sure they are properly installed, undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE operating machine.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It will do the job safer and better at the rate for which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during operation greatly increases risk of injury or loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and ensure all moving parts completely stop before walking away. Never leave machine running while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance instructions and lubrication schedules to keep machine in good working condition. A machine that is improperly maintained could malfunction, leading to serious personal injury or death.

DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or any condition that could affect safe operation. Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate machine with damaged parts!

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting cord-connected machines from power, grab and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord may damage the wires inside. Do not handle cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you experience difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.

Additional Safety for Pan & Box Brakes

Hands/fingers can be crushed or severely pinched if caught between clamping fingers and bending blocks during operation. Severe cuts can occur to hands/fingers when contacting sharp workpiece edges. To minimize risk of injury, anyone operating this machine MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.

CRUSHING & AMPUTATION INJURIES. The

brake can quickly crush or amputate fingers, hands, or body parts. Never place fingers, hands, or body parts between or near the clamping fingers and bending blocks during operation.

SECURING BRAKE. Before using, secure the brake to the workbench so it can support the weight and dynamic forces involved in bending sheet metal. Otherwise, the brake may unexpectedly move or tip during operation, causing serious injury or property damage.

TOOLS IN POOR CONDITION. Using this tool with loose hardware or damaged components could result in sudden, unexpected movements during use. Inspect the brake for cracked components, damaged linkage, levers, or loose fasteners. Correct any problems before use.

LEAVING UNATTENDED. To reduce the risk of crushing or amputation injuries with children or visitors, lower the clamping leaf when not in use.

METAL EDGES. Sharp edges on sheet metal can produce severe cuts. Always wear leather gloves and chamfer/de-burr sharp sheet metal edges before bending the workpiece with this machine.

COMFORTABLE BODY POSITION. The required body motion to operate the brake can result in operator injury over time if proper ergonomics are not used during operation.

HEATING METAL. Heating the workpiece with a torch or welding it while clamped in the brake may weaken the fingers, blocks, and frame. Do not use a torch, welder, or other similar heating tool near the brake.

CAPACITY. Exceeding the capacity of the brake may result in sudden breakage that ejects dangerous metal debris at the operator or bystanders, or causes machine damage. Only use sheet metal that is within the rated capacity of this brake (refer to the Machine Data Sheet).

Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to decrease the risk of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

aligning fingers

Spacing Fingers

The clamping fingers can be spaced apart for clearance when making pans or boxes. This requires removing one or more of the fingers, so that you can space the others to match the inside width of your pan or box.

Tool Needed: Qty

Hex Wrench 8mm .............................................. 1

To space clamping fingers:

Loosen cap screw on each finger you need to

remove.

Remove fingers and toe clamps from clamp-

ing leaf, as shown in aside.

Note: You may need to mix and match fin-

ger widths or space fingers appropriately to match the inside width of your pan or box.

Figure 12, and set them

Aligning Fingers

To help ensure the bend is even along its length, the clamping fingers must be parallel with the clamping surface and bending block.

adjusting setback

Adjusting Setback

You must include the thickness of folded edges or joints when determining the proper setback, or the brake may be damaged.

Before you begin any bending operation, consider the differences of sheet metal gauges when trying to achieve either sharp or rounded bends, and allow for the differences by adjusting the setback.

3. Loosen cap screws securing setback wheels (see Figure

15).

Setback Wheel

(1 of 2)

Cap Screw

(1 of 2)

Setback is the distance from the forward edge of the fingers to the edge of the bending leaf, as shown in Figure

14. The setback distance is determined by the gauge of the workpiece material and the desired radius of the bend.

Setback is normally adjusted 1

⁄2 times the thickness of 22 gauge and thinner workpieces, and two times the thickness of workpieces thicker than 22 gauge. G0950 material gauge capacities are listed on the Machine Data Sheet on Page

Pressure

Clamping pressure must be properly adjusted for different workpiece thicknesses. The ideal pressure will have medium resistance at the clamping handles, and will lock the workpiece into position easily—much like a pair of Vice-Grips is adjusted by rotating the adjustment nuts on the clamping pressure adjustment rods (see Figure 16). These are located on both ends of the pan and box brake.

3. Tighten adjustment nuts to secure

position.

4. Make sure clamping pressure is even on both ends of brake by raising one end and testing clamping action of other end. Clamping action should be same on both ends.

If necessary, repeat Steps 1–4 until proper

clamping pressure is achieved.

Basic Bending

Do not operate machine unless it has been securely mounted to a workbench, or it could tip over on you, causing severe injury!

Bodily injury could result from using this machine. Always wear safety glasses, leather work boots, and heavy duty leather work gloves when operating this machine or whenever handling sheet metal.

2. Raise clamping leaf.

Insert workpiece between clamping fingers

and clamping surface.

4. Align bend mark(s) on workpiece with fingers, then clamp it in place using clamping handles.

Note: If clamping handles do not lock, the

clamping pressure may need to be adjusted (refer to Adjusting Clamping Pressure on

16).

Page

With body square to brake and using both

hands, lift bending leaf until workpiece reaches desired bend angle.

Raise clamping leaf and remove workpiece.

All bending operations require the clamping fingers to be parallel with the edge of the clamping surface and bending block, and the setback and clamping pressure must be correctly adjusted for the thickness of the workpiece.

To perform basic bending operations:

1. Determine setback required for bend and adjust machine if needed (refer to Adjusting Setback on

Page 15).

Hold onto the workpiece so it does not drop and hit you when it is released!

Sharp edges of sheet metal can easily cut fingers, hands, or other body parts. Always wear leather gloves when handling sheet metal, and always chamfer and deburr the edges.

Bending Allowance

When a bend is made in sheet metal, the inside surface of the bend compresses and the outside surface stretches. To bend metal objects accurately, you need to consider the length of each bend, especially when more than one bend is required. This is called bend allowance.

As a rule of thumb, subtract the bend allowance from the sum of the workpiece outside dimensions to obtain the overall length and width of the blank needed to make a particular part.

Lifting heavy machinery or parts without proper assistance or equipment may result in strains, back injuries, crushing injuries, or property damage.

To position counterweight:

Loosen (2) cap screws on bending leaf coun-

terweight collar (see

Figure 17).

Exact allowances can only be obtained by trial and error due to differences in sheet metal hardness, whether the bend is with or across the grain, and the bend radius. Use metalworking handbooks or the internet to find bend allowances accurate enough for average use.

Positioning

Counterweight

The counterweight helps to provide additional leverage when bending thick workpieces, and can be adjusted to vary the weight being applied by the bending leaf.

The gauge of the workpiece determines where the counterweight should be placed. For example, the counterweight would be positioned low in the collar for bending 20-gauge steel, and high for bending 12-gauge steel.

2. Have an additional person insert counterweight into counterweight collar, then tighten (2) cap screws to secure.

— For maximum weight leverage, posi-

tion narrow end of counterweight flush with bottom of counterweight collar (see Figure 17).

— For less weight leverage, extend narrow

end of counterweight beyond bottom of counterweight collar until desired weight is achieved.
