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-

may damage the wires inside. Do not handle

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, 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rec-

ommended 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

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 [phone].

Additional Safety for English Wheels

Fingers can be broken or severely pinched if caught between wheels during operation. Severe
cuts can occur from sliding along or pushing against sharp workpiece edges. To minimize risk
of injury, anyone operating this machine MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings
below.

PINCHING/CRUSHING HAZARD. The roll-

ing momentum of wheels can pull your fingers
between them, resulting in pinching or crushing
injuries. Always keep your hands away from wheel
path when moving workpiece through wheels.

METAL EDGES. The sharp edges of sheet metal
can quickly cut your fingers or hands. Always
wear heavy leather gloves when handling sheet
metal. Always chamfer and deburr sharp metal
edges before inserting them into english wheel.

TOOL USAGE. This english wheel was designed
only to form curves in sheet metal material such
as steel, aluminum, and copper. Do not attempt to
process any other material (e.g., glass, ceramic,
plastic, etc.) that could result in material or tool
breakage. Do not modify this tool in any way and
do not exceed the capacity listed in the Machine

Data Sheet.

CRUSHING HAZARD. If wheels or frame should

unexpectedly fall, crushing injuries could result.
Always make sure frame is correctly mounted to
bench or floor, as appropriate. Make sure wheels
are properly installed on support brackets or stor­age racks. Wear steel-toed boots.

BODY POSITION. Losing your balance while
tracking could result in impact injuries or cuts from
sheet metal. Make sure your body and footing are
balanced and in a good position to support your
movement and momentum while tracking.

TOOL INSPECTION. Using english wheel with
excessively worn or damaged parts could cause
tool to fail and present injury hazards, as well as
yield poor results. Always inspect each part of
English Wheel before beginning operations.

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.

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preven­tative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufac-

turer’sinstructions with anycleaning productyou

Site Considerations

Weight Load

for the weight
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

Physical Environment

The physical environment where the machine is
operated is important for safe operation and lon­gevity of 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
is outside 41°–104°F; the relative humidity range
is outside 20–95% (non-condensing); or the envi­ronment is subject to vibration, shocks, or bumps.

Lighting around the machine must be adequate
enough that operations can be performed safely.
Shadows, glare, or strobe effects that may distract

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.

Refer to the Machine Data Sheet

that may occur when operating the machine.

Lighting

or impede the operator must be eliminated.

HEAVY LIFT!
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.

The Model G0973 requires the use of lifting equip­ment such as a forklift, engine hoist, or boom
crane. DO NOT attempt to lift or move machine
without necessary assistance from other people.
Each piece of lifting equipment must be rated for
at least 1520 lbs. to support dynamic loads that
may be applied while lifting.

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.

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 lower wheels (see Figure 14, A) are good for
adding gentle curves to large metal panels; these
wheels have large flat surfaces and square ends.

Domed lower wheels (see Figure 14, B) create
tighter curves; flat areas at the center range from

Tracking Tips

• Stretching metal into a curve should be
a gradual process. Always start with just
enough wheel pressure to prevent the
workpiece from skipping or slipping through
the wheels. After the initial curve has formed,
increase the pressure slightly and continue
stretching the metal. Repeat this process
until the desired curve is attained. Using too
much pressure will damage the workpiece
surface and produce poor results.

Frame

• Start with the lower wheel that has the great­est radius (least amount of curve), then
decrease the wheel radius a step at a time
until the desired curve is reached.

• Mark the workpiece with a non-permanent
marker to make it easier to follow tracking
patterns or contour the metal.

• Practice with a scrap piece that is the same
material and thickness as the final workpiece.

• Leave a frame around the workpiece of
approximately 1" that does not go through
the wheels (see Figure 23). As the center of
the workpiece stretches and the frame does
not, the metal is forced to bend into a curve.
Some workpieces may need a larger frame
to accommodate expansion of the metal and
removal of excess material, if needed.

Figure 23. Example of frame around workpiece

and basic back-and-forth tracking pattern.

• Overlap each pass with the previous one in
a smooth, back-and-forth movement through
the wheels, as shown in Figure 23. There
are many patterns of tracking that will pro­duce different results. Refer to Page 21
for additional tracking patterns. Choosing the
correct pattern for your operation is a matter
of research and experience.

• Try using the lightest wheel pressure possible
to shape the workpiece. Too much pressure
may crease or damage the metal. Light pres­sure is best for smoothing; higher pressure is
best for rough shaping.

• Take your time. Start rolling slowly and
increase your speed. Many passes through
the wheels with gradual increases in pres­sure and lower wheel radii will produce good
results and reduce the risk of damaging the
workpiece surface.

Tracking Patterns

As metal passes between the upper and lower
wheels, a "track" or shiny line is pressed into the
metal. Various tracking patterns can be used to
shape workpieces depending upon their shape
or size.

Note: Most of the figures in this section are shown
without a frame for clarity, but we recommend
leaving about a 1" border around the workpiece
(see Figure 24) so the metal bends correctly.

Figure 31. Star pattern.

Model G0973 (Mfd. Since 09/23)

Staggered Stop Pattern

With this pattern, the track alternates between
three different sets of lines, helping reduce ridges
that may form at the stopping point of tracks. This
technique is useful on larger workpieces.

Note: It may help to draw lines on the workpiece
with a non-permanent marker so you can see the
outside, middle, and inside lines more clearly.
Clean the wheels and workpiece when finished.

To use staggered stop pattern:

From starting point, roll workpiece from out-

1.

side line on one side to outside line on
opposite side (see Figure 32).

Roll workpiece from middle line on one side

to middle line on opposite side, as shown in

Crisscrossing Tracks

Crisscrossing tracks can help produce smoother
curves in your workpiece when using the zigzag
or staggered stop pattern.

After running tracks along one length of the
workpiece (see Figure 37, A), turn the metal sheet
90° and run tracks along the opposite length (see
Figure 37, B) so the workpiece is equally covered
by both sets of tracks (see Figure 37, C).

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, stop using the machine imme­diately if you ever observe any of the items below,
and fix the problem before continuing operations:

• Damaged or dirty wheels.

• Damaged or cracked frame.

• Hardware/fasteners for security.

• Any other unsafe condition.

Daily Maintenance

• Clean and protect wheels.

Cleaning the Model G0973 is relatively easy.
Periodically wipe down the machine to remove
dust and debris—this ensures rust-promoting
material does not remain on bare metal surfaces.

Since all bearings on the Model G0973 are sealed
and permanently lubricated, simply leave them
alone until they need to be replaced. DO NOT
lubricate them.

Protect the unpainted metal surfaces with regular
applications of products like SLIPIT®, as shown in

Figure 45 below.
