Tank Filling The hydraulic oil is the primary medium for transmitting pressure and also must lubricate the running parts of the pump. After installation of the machine and before machine startup, bring the oil level up to 90% of capacity. Refer to any labels or marking affixed to the outside of the machine, If none exist, use SHELL BRAND #46 or #68 hydraulic oil or an equivalent with similar specifications.

Opens and closes the punch to allow closed bent Punch Opening Cylinder material to be unloaded after bending. Removed to allow the punch to be opened. MUST be installed and tightened during the bending Punch Lock Pins process. Bending without the pins installed and tight will cause damage to the machine.
ASSEMBLY AND SET UP WARNING: For your own safety, DO NOT connect the machine to the power source until the machine is completely assembled and you read and understand the entire instruction manual. • The manual depth stop mounts to the back side of the table beam using the two socket head cap screws shipped with the press.
3-phase power source other than direct 3-phase. If you are using an alternate power source, consult a certified electrician or contact Baileigh Industrial Holdings LLC prior to energizing the machine. CAUTION: HAVE ELECTRICAL UTILITIES CONNECTED TO MACHINE BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN! Check if the available power supply is the same as listed on the machine nameplate.

WARNING: In all cases, make certain the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle • Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor.
OPERATION CAUTION: Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges. When handling large heavy materials make sure they are properly supported. CAUTION: Keep hands and fingers clear of the punch and die area. Stand off to the side of the machine to avoid getting hit with the material during the bending operation.

• Place the function selector switch back to the left position for bending material. NOTICE: NEVER operate the press to bend material with the blade open. NEVER operate the press to bend material until all three removable pins are installed and tightened. Operating the press to bend with the pins removed or loose will cause very specific damage to the punch open cylinder and mounts as well as the square column forks.
Depth Stop Adjustment The depth stop is an adjustable stop bolt which presses on a limit switch to stop the downward travel of the punching beam. This stop then creates a repeatable travel point for the punching beam which in turn creates a repeatable bend for the same material and thickness within the same die opening.
ROTATING AND ADJUSTING DIE WARNING: Always keep hands and fingers from between the punch and die. The die supplied with the press is heavy. Use the lifting hooks provided. Note: Never install or use dies that are cracked, chipped, or otherwise damaged. Make sure dies are the correct size and type to reduce the risk of overload.
BENDING ALLOWANCE To bend sheet metal accurately, you will need to consider the total length of each bend. This is referred to as bend allowance. Subtract the bend allowance from the sum of the outside dimensions of the workpiece to obtain the actual overall length or width of the piece. Because of differences in sheet metal hardness, and whether the bend is made with the grain or against it, exact allowances must sometimes be made by trial and error.
DEPTH of BEND SETTING The Depth Stop Blocks will allow for the press to be setup quickly to a previously measured setting which in turn will provide repeatable results. NOTE: Due to material variation (batch lots) it may not be exact. 1.
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE WARNING: Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on the machine. Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by qualified personnel. Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery. • Check daily for any unsafe conditions and fix immediately. •...
