SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them often and use them to instruct others. PROTECT EYES Wear safety glasses or suitable eye protection when working on or around machinery. PROTECT AGAINST NOISE Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of hearing.
Page 9
KEEP CLEAR OF MOVING OBJECTS Always be aware of the position of the material and the swing area in which the material will travel. The material will swing with significant force. This swing area will create pinch points and the force of the material movement may cause serious bodily injuries.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Metal working can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result.

7. Dressing material edges. Always chamfer and deburr all sharp edges. 8. Do not force tool. Your machine will do a better and safer job if used as intended. DO NOT use inappropriate attachments in an attempt to exceed the machine’s rated capacity. 9.
UNPACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS Your Baileigh machine is shipped complete. Separate all parts from the packing material and check each item carefully. Make certain all items are accounted for before discarding any packing material. WARNING: SUFFOCATION HAZARD! Immediately discard any plastic bags and packing materials to eliminate choking and suffocation hazards to children and animals.
TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING NOTICE: Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by skilled workers, such as a truck operator, crane operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift the machine, attach the lifting chain carefully, making sure the machine is well balanced. Follow these guidelines when lifting with truck or trolley: •...
INSTALLATION IMPORTANT: Consider the following when looking for a suitable location to place the machine: • Overall weight of the machine. • Weight of material being processed. • Sizes of material to be processed through the machine. • Space needed for auxiliary stands, work tables, or other machinery. •...
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.
Item Description Function Forward Foot Pedal Will operate the machine in the cw direction Reverse Foot Pedal Will operate the machine in the ccw direction Power Switch For turning power on/off to the bender Allen Wrench Used for adjusting and tightening the slide plate. Hydraulic Cylinders Supply the bending force to rotate the forming die.
ELECTRICAL 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: Make sure the grounding wire (green) is properly connected to avoid electric shock. DO NOT switch the position of the green grounding wire if any electrical plug wires are switched during hookup.
Page 20
• 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. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
OPERATION CAUTION: Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges. CAUTION: Keep hands and fingers clear of the dies and swing arms. Stand to the front of the machine to avoid getting hit with the material during the bending process.
DIE SELECTION AND INSTALLATION Before any bending can take place, the proper die set must be chosen to match the material being bent. (EX) 1-1/2” diameter tubing requires a die set marked 1-1/2” tube. Hook Arm Bend Die Hold down Bolts Plastic Slide Counter Die Mount Bronze Counter Die Insert...

3. Install and tighten the 1/2-13 socket head bolts provided with the die. Tighten these bolts enough to hold the die firmly down to the spindle. Approximately 30-40ft-lb. (40-50N•m). Spindle Die Drive Pins 1/2-13 Tapped holes for bolting down dies Center Pin Hitch Pin Positioning Bolts...

Incorrect Counterdie Position Too far away from die Touching die Correct Counter Die Position Approximately 1/8” (3mm) away NOTICE: Be sure the long end of the counter die points away from the hook arm, or to the right of machine.
Material Insertion 1. Once the die set is properly installed, the material that matches the die can be inserted (I.E. 1-1/4” tube would go into a die mark D-1250T-R***). 2. Open the counter die quick release assembly and insert the material past the hook arm. The start of bend mark is engraved with an “O”...

Bending Using Main Degree Wheel 1. After the material is installed, bending can take place. 2. Turn on the power switch 3. Keep hands away from the bending zone. 4. Press the right foot pedal switch to rotate the die forward. Keeping the foot pedal activated, visually watch the degree dial (A).
Page 27
Using the auto stop feature – if equipped, (Setting the automatic stop position) The cylinders must be fully retracted and the main (top) degree dial must read “0” deg before setting the lower degree dial. Note: Do not adjust the micro switch mounting bracket; this is preset from the factory.
Page 28
Material Removal 1. After reaching the desired angle, the material needs to be removed. 2. Press the reverse (left) foot pedal. Both the die and the counter die will retract simultaneously. Run in reverse until all bending pressure is released from the bend. Activating the quick release lever 3.
Material Insertion Limitations Left Right • The left figure shows the recommended minimum / correct amount of material remaining to be fully supported in plastic slide. • The right figure shows the maximum amount the material can be pulled through the counterdie.
Bending More than 180 Degrees • This machine is capable of bending more than 180 degrees. Contact BAILEIGH INDUSTRIAL HOLDINGS LLC about your application. o It will require a password to make the machine go past 200 degrees. o Requires special tooling to allow removal of bent part. If standard tooling is used, the material will be locked onto the die.

BENDING GLOSSARY Arc Length The length of material along the centerline of the tubing Distance in inches from the center of curvature to the centerline Centerline Radius (CLR) axis of the tube bending or pipe bending bends. Abbreviated as CLR. See Tube Bending and Pipe Bending Diagram Angle in degrees to which the tube/pipe bends are formed (i.e.
• If using BAILEIGH INDUSTRIAL HOLDINGS LLC’s standard counterdie is not producing desired results, roller counter dies are also available. • BAILEIGH INDUSTRIAL HOLDINGS LLC has both steel rollers as well as plastic rollers. Plastic rollers are used primarily for polished aluminum. Steel rollers would be used for non- polished materials.
• Use a piece of two-sided coarse emery cloth in between the hook arm and the material, this works very well. • In only this application, high pressure grease applied to the DIE GROOVE also helps. • BAILEIGH INDUSTRIAL HOLDINGS LLC can make special clamps to hold material in place. Bending with Square Dies • Die Parts...

TROUBLESHOOTING WARNING: Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on the machine. Problem Solution Cylinders not retracting all the Do the dry run sequence as outlined in section 8 of the way or not in sequence manual under operation Check to make sure the autostop dial has the micro switch roller riding on the outside of the perimeter of the dial.
