Strong electromagnetic fields can cause electromagnetic interference.
HOW TO ASSEMBLE YOUR ELECTRABRAKE The EB625, EB1000 Note: The machine is supplied upside down for assembly purposes. Remove all parts from the crate with the exception of ELECTRABRAKE magnet body assembly. Use the 6mm Allen Key and the screws supplied.
To ensure correct operation securely fasten the screws to the switching mechanism. Use the two M12 x 60 masonry bolts supplied to secure the Electrabrake machine to the floor. Adjust the head levelling screws in the rear of each foot until the machine is stable and level Use solvent i.e.

OPERATING PROCEDURES GENERAL CAUTIONARY IMPORTANT WARNINGS Electrabrake machines are designed for ONE operator only, which includes the inserting the sheet metal and operating the switches. See specifications for clamping strength – please note that the force is several tonnes. All units are fitted with a two-handed interlocking system to prevent hands being accidentally trapped when clamping.
Page 12 Instruction Manual for EB0625 (S5251) 03/12/2014 To release the sheet metal, flick the material upwards, which will lift the clamp bar to make ready for the next bend. It may be necessary to lift the clamp bar by using one of the lifting handles.
Page 13 Instruction Manual for EB0625 (S5251) 03/12/2014 HOW TO MAKE A ROLLED EDGE Wrap sheet metal around a round steel bar or pipe. 1. Position sheet metal clamp bar and round pipe/bar as indicated on drawing. To avoid weak clamping make sure that the clamp bar does not overlap the machines front pole (A).
3. Repeat step 2 until rolled edge to requirement. HOW TO FORM A TEST PIECE To learn how to work the Electrabrake with confidence it is recommended that test pieces are made. Use a piece of 0.8 mm thick x 320 x 200mm aluminium or mild steel sheet. Mark sheet as per drawing Bend 1 180°...
03/12/2014 For ease of folding, make use of the short clamp bars to the shape folds into each other. Electrabrake is designed to assist you in the manufacture of a vast variety of box shapes. BASIC BOXES Use the long bar clamp to make the first two bends. Choose and insert one or two of the short clamp bars as indicated on drawing.

FLANGED BOX WITH CORNER TABS Important Note: Folds must be formed in the correct sequence using one piece of sheet metal. It is suggested the deep boxes are manufactured with separate end pieces.
Page 18 Instruction Manual for EB0625 (S5251) 03/12/2014 HOW TO USE A SLOTTED CLAMPBAR FORMING TRAYS The slotted clamp bar is perfect for manufacturing shallow trays and pans. Advantages: The Bending edges are aligned automatically to the front edge of the magnet body. The clamp bar automatically lifts to facilitate insertion and removal of the sheet metal whereas with the short set each section must be lifted individually.
HOW TO CHECK THE ACCURACY OF YOUR MACHINE Critical aspects of Electrabrake are that working surfaces of the bending beam, the bending edge clamp bar are straight and that both of these surfaces are parallel. This can be checked with a precision straight edge.
Instruction Manual for EB0625 (S5251) 03/12/2014 Electrabrake produces folds on thinner gauges and non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, however, check the specification for heavier gauges. To fill in unused portion under the clamp bar, make use of scrap pieces of sheet metal to create uniformity of the bends in thicker gauges.
If the micro switch does not click on and off after you have made the above adjustments and rotated the bending beam to the maximum stops, then the switch may be fused and would need to be replaced. Call or email your distributor or Electrabrake. Clamp bar not being released ...
Page 22 Instruction Manual for EB0625 (S5251) 03/12/2014 Problems with the bending of heavy gauge sheet metal. Ensure that sheet metal thickness is within the specifications of the machine. It may occur if narrow lips are being bent over the full length of the machine, please note that the machine is not equipped to do this.
