INTRODUCTION The quality and reliability of the components assembled on a Baileigh Industrial machine guarantee near perfect functioning, free from problems, even under the most demanding working conditions. However if a situation arises, refer to the manual first. If a solution cannot be found, contact the distributor where you purchased our product.
Note: This symbol refers to useful information throughout the manual. IMPORTANT PLEASE READ THIS OPERATORS MANUAL CAREFULLY It contains important safety information, instructions, and necessary operating procedures. The continual observance of these procedures will help increase your production and extend the life of the equipment. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS LEARN TO RECOGNIZE SAFETY INFORMATION This is the safety alert symbol.
Page 6
General precautions are listed on CAUTION safety signs. CAUTION also calls attention to safety messages in this manual. 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.

BEWARE OF PINCH POINTS Keep hands and fingers away from the drive mechanisms, cylinders, ratchets, and other moving linkage while the machine is in operation. KEEP CLEAR OF MOVING OBJECTS Always be aware of the position of the material and the swing area in which the material will travel.
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.

UNPACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS Your Baileigh machine is shipped complete in one crate. 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 CAUTION: Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by skilled workers, such as a truck operator. Make sure the machine is well balanced. Choose a location that will keep the machine free from vibration and dust from other machinery. Keep in mind that having a large clearance area around the machine is important for safe and efficient working conditions.
• Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from obstructing objects. • If long lengths of material are to be fed into the machine, make sure that they will not extend into any aisles. •...
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 Hydraulic Reservoir Holds the oil for operating the hydraulics. Hydraulic Pump and Valve Provides and controls the oil flow. Assembly Electric Motor Provides the power to power the hydraulics.
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 17
• 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.
7. After full extension, press the reverse foot pedal, as the drive lever retracts, the anti- springback lock pin will hold the ratchet wheel in place. You can restart the bending process at any tooth on the ratchet wheel or return the machine to the home position and get the maximum degrees per stroke.
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...
Page 21
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). IMPORTANT: FAILURE TO PROPERLY BOLT DOWN DIE WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO MACHINE AND TOOLING. 4.

Incorrect Counterdie Position Too far away from die Touching die Correct Counter Die Position Approximately 1/8” (3mm) away IMPORTANT: 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”...
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 your distributor 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.
BENDING SUGGESTIONS Aluminum Bending If bending aluminum, lubrication is very important, if the results are less than desirable with WD- 40 other lubricants can be used such as: • Johnson Paste Wax (seems to work the best) • High Pressure grease •...
Bending With Square Dies • Die Parts Main Bending Die Die Cap Quick Release Handles Hook-Arm Hook-Arm Clamp Plastic Slide Slide Mount Quick Release Studs Square Tooling Setup 1. Install the bending die (1) on to the spindle. Be careful not to pinch your fingers as you lower the die on to the spindle.
6. If the material slips during the bending operation, install the hook arm clamp (5). Do not use it unless you have to. 7. Activate the bender and bend to the desired angle. 8. To remove the material, open the counter die and return bender to the “home position”. Using a soft mallet, gently tap the cap clamps open and the material will spring out of the die (1).
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE WARNING: Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on the machine. Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by qualified personnel. Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery. • Check daily for any unsafe conditions and fix immediately. •...
