Operation
General
Your tool is capable of many different types of bending operations. Materials that can be bent
include steel, iron, brass, wrought iron, and aluminium.
To determine how to properly set up the tool, you must first determine what type of bend you
want to perform. Round shapes, angles, or spiral operations are each described in the follow-
ing sections. The numbers in brackets refer to the reference number in the exploded view of
the parts.
Please note the "spring-back properties" of certain materials when performing the bending op-
erations. This assumes that you overbend the material to a certain extent to achieve the de -
sired degree of bending. Different materials have different degrees of spring-back. Perform a
test bend to determine how much "spring-back" you need to compensate for.
Note!
The folding machine must be fixed on a safe surface before being used.
Round forms
1. Make sure that the mounting plate for dies (4) is attached to the device. See Fig. 1 to know the
positions required for folding round forms.
2. Make sure that the stop (2) is loose.
3. Move the vice unit (5–9, 15) on the mounting plate holder backwards.
4. Screw the dies holder mounting shaft (28) on the mounting plate.
5. Set the round die (29) on the mounting shaft.
6. Move the folding block unit (16, 17, 22–24) to the very end. You might have to loosen the fold-
ing block locking plate (21) by loosening the hexagon screws (20). Do not secure the locking
plate at this moment.
7. Set the shaft against the round die and close the vice so that it clamps the workpiece against
the die.
8. Move the folding until it touches the workpiece and until its front plate (16) is flush with the vice
surface (8). Secure the folding block by tightening the two screws.
9. Move the folding block to the left using the handle (27) until reaching the desired folding angle.
Consider the "spring-back" effect.
10. Should you wish to repeat foldings at the same angle, firmly tighten the stop at the spot where
you have finished the folding operation.
11. Should you wish to form an entire 360° ring, make sure to clamp the end of your workpiece
between the vice and the die. Entirely fold your workpiece around and cut off the overspill.
12. In order to form springs, loosen the stop (2) and slightly lift the shaft to be formed while folding
the shaft around the die. When beginning and finishing the spring, form an entire 360° ring as
described in step 11.
