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.

Additional Safety for Electric Slip Rolls
Serious injury can occur from fingers or hands getting crushed/pinched in rotating parts. Sharp
metal edges can easily cut skin. An unsecured machine can tip during operation and cause
crushing injuries. To minimize risk of injury, anyone operating this machine MUST completely
heed hazards and warnings below.
CRUSHING & PINCHING INJURIES. Slip rolls
can quickly crush or pinch fingers or hands. Never
place fingers or hands between or near rollers during operation.
METAL EDGES. Sharp edges on sheet metal can
result in severe cuts. Always wear leather gloves
and buttoned long-sleeves when preparing sheet
metal for operations. Always chamfer and deburr
metal edges.
BACK INJURIES. Handling large sheet metal
workpieces is potentially harmful if proper lifting
techniques are not used. To avoid back injuries,
keep back vertical and never over-exert yourself or
prepare sheet metal in awkward positions.
TOOL USAGE. Do not attempt to process any
material outside capacities of this machine (e.g.,
glass, ceramic, plastic, etc.) that could result in
material or tool breakage.
FOOT PROTECTION. Heavy workpieces accidentally falling off of rollers during operation can injure
operator’s feet. To reduce your risk, wear steel-
toed boots when using machine.
WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Always wear safety
glasses. This provides protection for your eyes
from metal debris or fractured workpieces.
SECURING SLIP ROLL. Before using, secure
slip roll to floor so it can withstand dynamic forces
involved with forming sheet metal. Otherwise, it
may move or tip during operation, causing serious
injury or property damage.
WORK AREA. Keep work area clear and free of
obstructions that may potentially cause a trip hazard. Always keep area surrounding machine dry to
prevent slipping and help maintain proper balance
during operations.
FEEDING WORKPIECE. Forcefully jamming
workpiece through rollers could cause hands or
fingers to slip and get caught in moving parts,
causing pinching and crushing injuries. DO NOT
use hands to force workpiece through rollers.
HAND PLACEMENT. Holding workpiece too close
to rollers during operation increases risk of pinching and crushing injuries. To reduce your risk,
NEVER place hands and fingers near rollers during operation.
CA PAC IT Y. Exceeding capacity of machine 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 machine (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.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY
Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.
or equipment damage
may occur if machine is
not properly grounded
and connected to power
The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.
The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.
For your own safety and protection of
Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to
a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, consult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)
This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with
We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine. If you must use an extension
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:

Site Considerations
Weight Load
Refer to the
of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon
which the machine is placed will bear the weight
of the machine, additional equipment that may be
installed on the machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will be used. Additionally, consider the
weight of the operator and any dynamic loading
that may occur when operating the machine.
Space Allocation
Consider the largest size of workpiece that will
be processed through this machine and provide
enough space around the machine for adequate
operator material handling or the installation of
auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations,
leave enough space around the machine to open
or remove doors/covers as required by the maintenance and service described in this manual.
See below for required space allocation.
Physical Environment
The physical environment where the machine is
operated is important for safe operation and longevity of machine components. For best results,
operate this machine in a dry environment that is
free from excessive moisture, hazardous chemicals, airborne abrasives, or extreme conditions.
Extreme conditions for this type of machinery are
generally those where the ambient temperature
range exceeds 41°–104°F; the relative humidity
range exceeds 20%–95% (non-condensing); or
the environment is subject to vibration, shocks,
Place this machine near an existing power source.
Make sure all power cords are protected from
traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals, or
other hazards. Make sure to leave enough space
around machine to disconnect power supply or
Lighting around the machine must be adequate
enough that operations can be performed safely.

Lifting & Placing
HEAVY LIF T!
Straining or crushing injury
may occur from improperly
lifting machine or some of
its parts. To reduce this risk,
get help from other people
and use a forklift (or other
lifting equipment) rated for
weight of this machine.
Position lifting straps/forklift forks towards
motor side of slip roll. Motor side of slip roll
is heavier than opposite side and may tip
machine over if not fully supported.
Place lifting straps or forks of forklift under

Page 18
Anchoring to Floor
Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping
or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur
during operation, resulting in a machine that runs
slightly quieter and feels more solid.
If the machine will be installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, or if it is permanently connected (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes
may require that it be anchored to the floor.
If not required by any local codes, fastening the
machine to the floor is an optional step. If you
choose not to do this with your machine, we recommend placing it on machine mounts, as these
provide an easy method for leveling and they have
vibration-absorbing pads.
Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below)
are a popular way to anchor machinery to a concrete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the
floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move
the machine later, if needed. However, anytime
local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring
methodology specified by the code.

Flat Rolling
This slip roll can be used to flat roll sheet metal up
to 16 gauge. This can be done to straighten sheet
metal that is slightly out of form.
Note: Plastic deformation is permanent. Once a
workpiece has been sharply creased or bent, it
cannot be straightened using this slip roll.
The main rollers of this
machine present a crushing hazard. Make sure no
body part or clothing is
near the area between the
rollers. Failure to follow this
warning may result in fingers, hair, or clothing being
pulled into the machine,
causing personal injury.
2. Remove workpiece from between rollers,
then raise lower roller slightly by rotating

Creating Bends
This slip roll can create constant-radius bends in
sheet metal up to 16 gauge.
Note: The method for creating a specific radius is
a trial-and-error process. Due to the many variations among metal workpieces, no single positioning will create the same curve on all materials. We
recommend using scrap pieces the same dimensions and material as the final workpiece until the
desired curve is achieved.
2. Feed workpiece until leading edge is directly
above rear roller, as shown in Figure 29.

The main rollers of this
machine present a crushing hazard. Make sure no
body part or clothing is
near the area between the
rollers. Failure to follow this

To create a bend in a workpiece:
1. Place workpiece between upper and lower
rollers, as shown in Figure 28. Turn thickness adjustment knob to raise lower roller
until workpiece is held snug between upper
and lower rollers.

This machine poses a cutting hazard if workpieces
are not properly handled. If
necessary, get assistance
to support workpiece. Make
sure all helpers are wearing
leather gloves and safety
glasses when preparing
sheet metal.
Depending on size and shape of workpiece,
you may need assistance to support
workpiece as it exits machine. Failure to
adequately support workpiece may result in
workpiece falling, causing injuries.
4. Press forward pedal to process material
through slip roll. Continue until workpiece is
completely through upper and lower rollers
(see Figure 31).
Creating Cylinders
This slip roll can be used to easily and accurately
create cylinders.
If you know the diameter of the cylinder you want
to create, use the formula below to calculate the
length of material needed.
C=πD
C=Circumference
(Length of Material Needed)
π=Pi (Approximately 3.14)

The result of 18

with a piece of sheet metal that is approximately
7

18
der.
You can use the slip roll to create a bend with the
correct radius so that the two ends meet, forming
a 6" diameter cylinder (see Figure 32).

Creating Cones
Bending cones requires more advanced equations and techniques than cylinders. The following
section explains the basic principles for bending a truncated, concentric cone. If you require
information for bending more complicated cones,
please consult outside training, books, and other
research.
Similar to the process for bending cylinders, if
you know the two diameters and the height of the
cone you want to create (see Figure 39), you can
use those values to determine the dimensions of
the initial, flat workpiece before bending.
Height
There are 5 values you will need to calculate in
order to cut a flat workpiece that will bend into
a functional cone: LargeC, SmallC, RadiusH,
TConeH, and TConeRadiusH.
LargeC and SmallC
Use the following formulas to calculate the
circumference of both cone openings.
LargeC=πLargeD,
SmallC=
LargeC=Large Circumference
(Arc Length of Material Needed at Larger End)
SmallC=Small Circumference
(Arc Length of Material Needed at Smaller End)
πSmallD
π=Pi (Approximately 3.14)
LargeD=Large Diameter
Large Dia.
Small Dia.
Figure 39. Example of known cone dimensions.
The Model G0971 can bend cylinder and cone
diameters as small as 3". Since a "true" cone
requires one of the diameters to equal 0", figures
and steps in this section refer to a "truncated
cone", or a cone lacking an apex whose top is
parallel to the base (see Figure 40).
SmallD=Small Diameter
Large Circum.
Small Circum.
Figure 41. Location of small and large

Example: Suppose you want to create a cone
with a 5" diameter at one end and a 3" diameter
at the other end. You would use the circumference
formulas as follows:

needs an arc on one side of approximately 15

and an arc of 9

TConeH
Next, we need to calculate the finished height of
the cone if it were a "true" cone:
TConeH=ConeH x
(LargeD - SmallD)
TConeH=Finished True Cone Height
ConeH=Finished Truncated Cone Height
LargeD
The results indicate that our truncated cone with
a finished height of 6, a small diameter of 3, and
a large diameter of 5 would have a height of 15 if
the edges continued on to meet at an apex to form
a true cone (see Figure 47).

Following along our previous example, we can
plug in the values we know:

TConeRadiusH
The last value we need is the radius height of our
cone if it were a true cone. Similar to calculating
the radius height for the truncated cone as we did
in RadiusH, you will use the TConeH value found
in the previous section to find the radius height of
the true cone.

power before adjustments,
maintenance, or service.
Schedule
For optimum performance from this machine, this
maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.
Ongoing
To minimize your risk of injury and maintain proper
machine operation, shut down the machine immediately if you ever observe any of the items below,
and fix the problem before continuing operations:
• Loose mounting bolts.
• Damaged rollers.
Worn or damaged wires.
•
Any other unsafe condition.
•
Weekly Maintenance
• Clean and wipe down machine.
• Lubricate gears.
• Lubricate roller bushings.
Monthly Check
• Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabinet and off motor.
Cleaning the Model G0971 is relatively easy.
Periodically wipe down the rollers to remove dust
and debris—this ensures rust-promoting material
does not remain on the bare metal surfaces.
Protect the unpainted metal surfaces with regular
applications of products like SLIPIT® (see Figure
77 below for examples).

Lubrication
When lubricating this machine, first clean the
components before lubricating them. This step is
critical because grime and dust build up on lubricated components, which makes them hard to
move. Simply adding more lubricant will not result
in smooth moving parts.
T26685—Moly-D ISO 32 Multi-Function Oil
T26419—Syn-O-Gen Synthetic Grease
T26685
T26419
Roller Bushings
Use an oil can to apply a few drops of ISO 32 or
equivalent oil to the brass bushings of the three
rollers on the right side and into the ball oiler on
the top left side (see Figures 80–81). Rotate rollers several times in both directions to distribute
the oil, then wipe away any excess.
Figure 78. Recommended lubrication products.
Gears
Remove gear cover and apply a dab of NLGI#2 or
equivalent grease to roller gears (see Figure 79).
Rotate rollers several times in both directions to
distribute grease, then wipe away any excess and
re-attach cover.

SECTION 8: WIRING
Note: Please gather the serial
Wiring Safety Instructions
SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is con-
nected to a power source is extremely dangerous.
Touching electrified parts will result in personal
injury including but not limited to severe burns,
electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power
from the machine before servicing electrical components!
MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond
what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpredictable results, including serious injury or fire.
This includes the installation of unapproved aftermarket parts.
WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must
be tight to prevent wires from loosening during
machine operation. Double-check all wires disconnected or connected during any wiring task to
ensure tight connections.
CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow
the requirements at the beginning of this manual
when connecting your machine to a power source.
WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires
or components increase the risk of serious personal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice
that any wires or components are damaged while
performing a wiring task, replace those wires or
components.
MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in
these diagrams is current at the time of printing
but may not match your machine. If you find this
to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the
motor junction box.
CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors
and power inverters store an electrical charge for
up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from
the power source. To reduce the risk of being
shocked, wait at least this long before working on
capacitors.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are experiencing difficulties understanding the information
included in this section, contact our Technical
Support at (570) 546-9663.
