M1012 48" Pan and Box Brake
General
The Model M1012 will perform many types of operations
that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these
operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incor-
rectly.
The instructions in this section are written with the under-
standing that the operator has the necessary knowledge
and skills to operate this machine. If at any time you
are experiencing difficulties performing any operation,
stop using the machine!
If you are an inexperienced operator, we strongly recom-
mend that you read books, trade articles, or seek training
from an experienced Machine Type operator before per-
forming any unfamiliar operations. Above all, your safety
should come first!
Adjusting Setback
The setback is the distance from the forward edge of
the fingers and the edge of the clamp block (Figure 20).
The setback distance is determined by the gauge of the
workpiece and the desired radius of the bend. Normally,
setback is adjusted at least 1
of the workpiece. (Thicker or tempered workpieces will
need a larger setback. See material gauge capacities on
Page 3.)
To adjust the setback, do these steps:
1. Make sure all the fingers are aligned with each other
and that the fingers are not clamped to the clamp
block.
NOTICE
You must include the thickness of folded edges or
joints when determining the proper setback, or the
brake may be damaged.
