Using Foot Pedal - Grizzly G0479 Manual

2. To move the bending leaf away from the
fingers, evenly rotate setback knobs counter-
clockwise several turns.
3.
Firmly grasp the operating handle and pull
the bending leaf toward you until it rests
against the setback knobs.
If the setback distance is too much, repeat
Step 1. Continue with the above adjustments
until you obtain the proper setback distance.
Note—When performing these adjustments,
make sure the bending leaf is parallel with
the clamping block, or your bend will be dis-
torted.
4. Lock the handle in place with hex bolts
(Figure 13) on the bending leaf.

Using Foot Pedal

The foot pedal is used to lower the clamping leaf
fingers over the clamping block and place pres-
sure on the workpiece. The pedal can be locked
and unlocked. The foot pedal is locked during
shipping.
To engage the foot pedal:
1. Apply steady downward pressure on the
foot pedal; as you do, the fingers lower cor-
respondingly. The foot pedal lock should
engage when the pedal is fully depressed, as
shown in Figure 14.

(see Adjusting Clamping Pressure, Page 18.)
We recommend using the foot pedal lock for
better control when bending workpieces.
You can lower the fingers onto the workpiece
without locking the foot pedal. However, you
will have to keep the foot pedal depressed
while moving the bending wing during bend-
ing operations.
To release the foot pedal lock:
1. Press the foot pedal lock down to release the
foot pedal. The pedal will raise back to its
original position (Figure 15).
