2. Keep all body parts away from moving parts. Avoid placing any part of your body near belts, cutters, gears, etc.
3. Do not exceed rated capacity on this brake.
4. Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas and workbenches invite accidents.
5. Keep children away. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area.
6. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

8. Use the right machine. Don’t force a machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
9. Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry, which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
10. Always use safety glasses. Also use face or dust masks if the cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.
11. Don't overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
12. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for the best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
13. Nev er stand on a machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tipped.
14. Check damaged parts. Bef ore further use of the machine, a guard or ot her part that is damaged should b e carefully checked to determine that it will operate proper ly and perform its intended function - check for alignment of moving parts, bindi ng of m oving part s, breakage of parts, m ounting, a nd any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
15. Sh eet metal stock has sharp edges. To prevent cuts, use caution when handling.
16. Keep h ands and fingers clear of the area in front and rear of the brake.
17. Do not use the machine for any purpose other than for which it was designed
18. Failu re to comply with all of these warnings may cause serious injury.
19. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, dril ling 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 and cement and other masonry products, and Arsenic and chromium from chemicall y t reated l umber.
Your risk from these exposures 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 those dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
20. Do not operate tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

Uncrating and Clean-Up

1. Remove the crate from around the machine.
2. Carefully clean all rust protected surfaces with a mild solvent or kerosene and a soft rag. Do not use lacquer thinner, paint thinner, or gasoline. These will damage painted surfaces.
3. Coat all machined surf aces with a lig ht coat of oil to inhibit rust.
4. Remove bolts holding the machine to the skid.
5. Carefully move the machine to a well-lighted area on a solid, level workbench, and secure to the bench with lag screws or bolts.
NOTE: An optional stand (p/n 754200) designed for your brake is available from JET. Call your dealer or JET to order.
6. Machine location must allow access to all sides.

Brake Setup

The brake will not bend properly if it is not level. Use a machin ist’s level and shims if necessary.

Apro n Ad j u s t m e n t s

The (#) in the text refers to the breakdown.
The apron assembly has been adjusted at the factory for proper use of capacity material. During shipment of this unit the machine may have come out of alignment.
The forward edge of the holddow n fingers (58, 59 & 60) should be adjusted parallel to the pi vot edge of the clamp block. Release clam ping pressure on the holddown assembly by pushing clamp handles slightly to the rear. Turn the hex cap screws (64) to adjust for parallel.
The center of the apron can be adjusted by tightening the truss nut on the apron assembly.
Finger alignment can be achieved by loosening al l socket head cap screws (57) and rotating the apron (903) to the 90-degree position. This will align fi ng ers. T i ghten scr e ws (5 7 ) .

Operating the Brake

Adjusting for Metal Thickness
The holddown assembly must be adjusted to allow for clearance when making bends according to the thickness of the material. Clearance for material wit hin four gauges of the capacity should be twice the thickness of the material. F or lighter gauges use 1-1/2” tim es the thickness. The forward edge of the holddown fingers should be adjusted parallel to the pivot edge of the clamp block. Release clamping pressure on the holddo wn assembly by pushi ng clamp handles (42 & 43) slightly to the rear. Turn the hex cap screws (64) to adjust for parallel and pr oper clearance. The cent er of the holddown can be adjusted by tightening the truss nut on the holddown assembly.
Adjusting the Clamping Pressure
The clamping pressure should be adjusted according to the thickness of the material. The clamping pressure should be great enough to hold the material securely in place but not so much that it is difficult to lock the clamping handles. Clam ping pressure can be adjusted by turning the l ower nuts (54) on the threaded r od portion of the y ok e assembly ( 47 & 48).
Flange Capacity
The recommended minimum flange in capacity material is one inch.
Repeat Bends
Adjust the stop (81) on the stop rod (69) to limit the swing of the apron assembly.
Counter Weight
The counter weight (68) can be moved up or down to provide more or less leverage.
Lubrication
The machine must be lubricated every day of service with a few drops of oil. Oil pinholes are located at both yoke assemblies (47 & 48), and the apron assembly near the hinge pin (53). Lightly oil the machined parts when not in use to prevent rust.
