To Opemte Power Flanging Attachment

Turn gauge adjustment screw all the way in, then back about a quarter turn. (This setting is usually right for 26 gauge material).

2. Turn up a "Starting Flange" on the material before inserting it into the flanging rolls. This is done by inserting the edge of the piece in the slot cut in the table top. (Once the operator is accustomed to the Flanger, this won't be necessary). Slide the piece into the forming head, being careful to insert it so that the edge to be flanged will be at right angles to the form

ing head. As the metal passes through the forming rolls, be sure to exert pressure against the piece in the direction indicated by the arrows shown on the illustration below. This holds the metal to the height gauge, and

results in an even, uniform flange.

After the operator has run a few pieces through, he will become accus tomed to the "feel" of the machine and will find it easy to hold the metal to the gauge. The operator should stand in front of the Lockformer for ease in handling the material.

When flanging straight pieces or pieces having the same radius, the oper ator

may set the adjustable guide by running the first piece partly through

the rolls, and then setting the guide against the flanged edge. The guide

should not be set too tight against the flanged edge.

the piece you are flanging, do not discard it as being spoiled. Just run it through the Flanger again.

On exceptionally small outer radii, it may be necessary to pass the piece through the flanging rolls a second time, to straighten up the flange.

Operating Instructions

Holding the material against the angle gauge slide it into the forming head. Be sure that the material remains against the gauge until work is finished.

Make "Hold-Down Adjustment" to meet any variation in the material of your

locality. Do not adjust unless material slips, tends to leave gauge, or curls

up at finish.

If the material slips, tighten the studs equally until the condition is

overcome.

It is very important that long sheets be fed into the machine flat and against the gauge for the start.

IMPORTANT: If proper care is taken, the small knife edge roll that holds the pocket of the Pittsburgh Lock open will not break. If burrs and twists

from snip cuts are not flattened out, it will sometimes strike against the opening roll causing it to break.

Lubrication

The slow speed shafts do not require lubrication. Check oil in motor occasionally. If machine is used out of doors an oil or grease film will prevent rusting of surfaces.
