shipping material until the machine is assembled
and running properly.
Compare the contents of your container with the
following parts list to make sure all parts are intact.
Missing parts, if any, should be reported to your
distributor. Read the instruction manual thoroughly
for assembly, maintenance and safety instructions.

5.2 Positioning and cleanup
1.
Remove any fasteners holding machine to
pallet, and use forklift or hoist with straps to
carefully move bender into position atop stand.
Place straps around handle, as shown in Figure
5-1. Lifting equipment must be properly
rated for weight of machine.
2.
Secure bender to stand with the provided
screws and washers.
Figure 5-1
3.
Position machine so there is enough room on
all sides for general maintenance and feeding
of materials. Anchor machine to a stable floor,
preferably concrete, using lag screws or other
appropriate fasteners through the holes in
stand. Level the machine; use shims if needed.
4.
The crank handle has been mounted in reverse
position for shipping purposes. Loosen set
screw and install handle in operating position.
5.
Exposed metal surfaces have been given a
protective coating. Remove this with a soft cloth
and a cleaner-degreaser. Do not use gasoline,
paint thinner, acetone, etc., as these may
damage painted and plastic surfaces. Do not
use an abrasive pad, as it may scratch polished
surfaces.
6.0 Adjustments
6.1 Guide rollers
The two guide rollers at the sides prevent the
workpiece from twisting as it moves through the
bending rolls. Adjust these as needed, top and
bottom, by turning the bolts with a wrench. See
Figure 6-1.
Note: To achieve a circular profile, guide rollers
must be parallel to machine surface. Otherwise a
spiral profile will occur.
6.2 Pinch rolls
The Pinch Roll Bender is pre-installed with one
upper roll and two lower roll sets. Thirteen spacers
are
provided
for
configurations.
Pinch roll configuration can be adjusted to
accommodate
different
thickness. Remove hex nut from end of shaft
(counterclockwise to loosen), and arrange rolls for
desired operation. Use provided spacers as
needed.
See sect. 10.0 for material profiles that can be
accomplished with the provided rolls.
