OPERATION
• Select the Finger width or combination of Fingers required to
bend the desired width of Sheetmetal.
• Add or delete Fingers as required by loosening the 8mm
Socket Head Cap Screws to remove Fingers (FIG 1).
• To add Fingers to achieve desired width, set in place and
secure with a Socket Head Cap Screw and securely tighten
with 8mm Hex Key (not included).
NOTE: Several adjustments must be made prior to bending metal.
• Adjust Finger Alignment – The Fingers need to be aligned
squarely with one another, the lower machined Platen Surface
and the upper cam driven Pressure Bar.
- To adjust, loosen the socket head cap screws retaining the
fingers with an 8mm Hex Key (not included).
- Move Fingers so the top edges are square to the Pressure
Bar and the sides are square to adjoining Fingers (FIG 1).
• Adjust Pivot-Cams for Bend Radius – The Pivot-Cams adjust
the Knife-Edge of the Fingers in or out to provide the correct
bend radius for the thickness and composition of the material
being bent.
- To adjust, use a 6mm Hex Key (not included) to loosen the
Set-Screws at the upper rear of the Frame (FIG 2).
- Insert a Medium/Large Philips screw driver into one of the
several holes around the circumference of the Cam and
rotate it forward or back as required to move the Knife-
edge of the Fingers toward or away from the edge of the
machined Platen surface (FIG 2).
Do not allow the Knife-edge of the fingers to
protrude beyond the edge of the machined Platen
or permanent damage to the Fingers and Bending
Bar will occur.
