3.0 Safety Warnings
1. Read and understand entire owner’s manual
before attempting assembly or operation.
2. Read and understand the warnings posted on
the machine and in this manual. Failure to
comply with all of these warnings may cause
serious injury.
3. Replace warning labels if they become
obscured or removed.
4. This box and pan brake is designed and
intended for use by properly trained and
experienced personnel only. If you are not
fam iliar wit h t he p ro p er and sa fe operation of a
brake, do not use until proper training and
knowledge have been obtained.
5. Do not use this machine for other than its
intended use. If used for other purposes, JET
disclaims any real or implied warranty and
hold s itself harmles s from a ny injury t hat may
result from that use.
6. Do not exceed the rated capacity of the brake.
7. Always wear approved safety glasses/face
shields while using this machine. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses;
they are not safety glasses.
8. Before operating this brake, remove tie, rings,
watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up
past the elbows. Do not wear loose clothing,
and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or
anti-skid floor strips are recommended.
9. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead based paint.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and
other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals, work in a
well-ventilated area and work with approved
safety equipment, such as face or dust masks
that are specifically designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
10. Do not operate this machine while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any
medication.
11. R emove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form a
habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the
machine before using.
12. Sheet metal stock has sharp edges. Use
leather gloves when handling.
13. Keep hands and fingers clear of area in front
and rear of brake.
14. This box and pan brake should be sec ured to
the floor to prevent tipping.
15. Keep safety guards in place at all times when
the machine is in use. If removed for
maintenance purposes, use extreme caution
and replace the guards immediately after
maintenance is complete.
16. Provide for adequate space surrounding work
area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
17. Keep the floor around the machine clean and
free of scrap material, oil and grease.
18. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work
area. Keep children away.
19. Give your work undivided attention. Looking
around, carrying on a conversation and “horseplay” are careless acts that can result in
serious injury.
20. Mai ntain a balanced stance at all times so that
you do not fall or lean against moving parts.
Do not overreach or use excessive force to
perform any machine operation.
21. Use the right tool at the correct speed and
feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to
do a job for which it was not designed. The
right tool will do the job better and more safely.
22. Do not stand on machine. Serious injury could
occur if machine tips over.
Familiarize yourself with the following safety
notices used in this manual.
This means that if precautions
are not he eded, it may result in minor injury
and/or possible machine damage.
This means that if precautions
are not heeded, it may result in serious or even
fatal injury.

Insp ect co nte nt s of sh ipp ing co nta ine r f or ship pi ng
damage. Report any damage to your distributor.
Remove all contents from carton, and compare to
the contents list in this manual. Report any part
shortages to your distributor.
Do not discard carton or packing material until
machine is assembled and working properly.
Exposed metal areas may have a rust protectant
applied. Remove this with a soft rag and solvent
such as kerosene. (Do not use gasoline, paint
thinner, acetone, etc., as these will damage
painted surfaces.)

1. Loosen setback locking screws (5).
2. Rotate setback knobs (6) in equal amounts
(clockwise decreases distance).
Note: When increasing distance (counter-
clockwise), you may have to pull back slightly
on the bending leaf to take up any backlash.
7.3 Assembly
8mm hex key required for assembly.
Numbers in parentheses refer to items in Figure 1.
1. Remove any straps securing the machine, and
raise into position using properly rated lifting
equipment. The floor must be stable and level.
Continue to stabilize the
machine while installing the support legs.
2. Attach the two support legs (11) with two
screws each.
3. Secure machine to floor using lag screws or
similar system. See diagram, Figure 2.
8.0 Operation
Numbers in parentheses refer to items in Figure 1.
8.1 Adjusting setback
The bending leaf blade (7) must be adjusted for
proper clearance, or “setback” (A, Figure 3) ba sed
on material thickness (B, Figure 3). Generally,
setback for material within four ga uges of capacity
should be twice the thickness of material. For
lighter gauges, use 1-1/2 times the material
thickness. Consult a machinery handbook for bend
allowances.
3. Bring the clamping leaf into position and check
the setback.
4. Repeat above steps until proper distance is
achieved. Verify that bending leaf blade (7) is
parallel to clamping fingers (2).
5. Tighten screws (5).
If a crown develops in the material, this can be
adjusted out by loosening or tightening the hex
nuts on the crown adjustment rod (12). Note: This
rod has been correctly set by the manufacturer and
should only be adjusted when needed.
8.2 Adjusting clamping pressure
Clamping pressure should be great enough to hold
material securely, but not so much that it becomes
difficult to clamp
Rotate clamping adjustment knobs (3) equally to
set clamping pressure.
8.3 Repeat bends
Adjust stop bolt (4) to limit swing of bending leaf.
7
8.4 General procedure
y
A
1. Remove or add clamping fingers as needed for
width of material and type of bend.
2. Adjust for setback and clamping pressure.
3. Position stop bolt if needed.
4. Align material in machine and press foot pedal
until it locks.
5. Raise bending leaf to desired angle.
6. Lower bending leaf and press foot pedal lock
to release material.
9.0 Maintenance
Daily wipe down machine with a soft rag.
Apply a light coat of SAE 30 oil to exposed metal
surfaces to prevent rust.
Daily insert grease into the two fittings (14).
10.0 Troubleshooting
Trouble Probable CauseRemed
Bends created with
great dif f iculty.
Clamping leaf will not
cl amp prop erly.
Bend radius not
consistent across

Machine c apacity exceeded.Use material within ca pacity .
Incorrect setback.Increase setback.
Improper adjustment.
Clamping not even across width.Rotate adjustment knobs equal amount.
Machine c apacity exceeded.Use material within ca pacity .
Bending leaf edge not parallel to fingers.
Bending leaf has crown.Correct with crown adjustment rod.
