OPERATION
Tremendous external torque loads are placed on this Eastwood Metal Bender during
operation. This tool cannot be operated without adequate support or severe personal
injury or property damage can occur if it should suddenly be become dislodged or
moves while in use. Before beginning ANY work with this tool, it is absolutely necessary
that it be securely bolted to a properly anchored heavy, sturdy, anchored workbench.
The Eastwood Metal Bender exerts tremendous bending and crushing forces in operation
which can present a hand/finger pinch hazard and cause potentially serious injuries.
Avoid moving parts while operating and wear thick, well-fitting work gloves to prevent
cuts from handling sharp metal. The use of safety shoes is strongly recommended.
The Eastwood Metal Bender was specifically designed to be operated by one person
only. Never have one person operate the Handle while one handles the material
workpiece or serious injury could occur.
Workpiece material should be clean of any rust, burrs, nicks, welds or coatings
before attempting to bend or interference and binding may occur.
Apply a minimal amount of a light lubricant to material and die surfaces to ease
bending process. Do not over lubricate.
