UNPACKING - SITE CONSIDERATIONS FLOOR LOAD Refer to the Specifications for the weight and footprint specifications of your machine. Some workbenches or stands may require additional reinforcement to support the machine, workpiece, and the forces applied during operation. PLACEMENT LOCATION Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when...
ASSEMBLY In addition to the assembly procedures below, some disassembly is required to remove storage grease and re- lubricate the cleaned parts. TO ASSEMBLE YOUR MACHINE: Cap Screw Remove the end cap screws from the end cap. Rotate the lock knob out until it is flush with the rear of the end cap.
OPERATING - PYRAMID ROLLERS CAUTION: THE ROLLERS OF THIS MACHINE PRESENT A PINCHING HAZARD. MAKE SURE NO BODY PART OR CLOTHING IS NEAR THE ROLLERS DURING OPERATION. FAILURE TO FOL- LOW THIS WARNING MAY RESULT IN FINGERS, HAIR, OR CLOTHING BEING PULLED INTO THE MACHINE, CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY.

OPERATING - PYRAMID ROLLERS….Cont CREATING CURVES Your sheet metal machine can easily create constant radius curves in sheet metal up to 1 mm in thickness (mild steel). The method of creating a specific radius is a trial and error process. Due to the many variations among metal workpieces, no single configuration of the rollers will reproduce the same curve in all materials.
Page 13
OPERATING - PYRAMID ROLLERS….Cont NOTE: If your workpiece has an undesired initial flat, as illustrated in Figure 13, you can remove it by flip- ping the workpiece around and pass it through the front of the machine so that the initial flat enters last. Slightly tighten the diameter adjustment knobs the same amount, then pass the workpiece through the rollers again.
Page 14
OPERATING - PYRAMID ROLLERS….Cont You can use the roller to create a bend with the cor- rect radius so that the two ends meet, forming a 150mm diameter cylinder (Figure 14). NOTE: Performing multiple passes through the ma- chine with gradual reductions in the curve radius produces better results than trying to make the curve in one or two passes.
Page 15
OPERATING - PYRAMID ROLLERS….Cont Turn the hand crank to process the material through the rollers. Continue turning until the workpiece is completely through the upper and lower rollers, as illustrated in Figure 17. Rotate the workpiece 180°, insert the curved end into the rollers, then process it through the ma- chine, as illustrated in Figure 18.
Page 16
OPERATING - PYRAMID ROLLERS….Cont REMOVING THE WORKPIECE FROM THE ROLLERS TO REMOVE THE WORKPIECE FROM THE TOP ROLLER: Rotate the thickness leaf bolts anticlockwise un- til they no longer apply pressure to the top roll- CAUTION: THE SHARP EDGES OF SHEET METAL CAN QUICKLY CUT YOUR HANDS.

OPERATING - PRESS BRAKE BRAKE OVERVIEW The brake of the SIP 01529 is used to make bends of 0° - 90° in sheet metal up to 1 mm in thickness and 760 mm in width. When you use the hand crank, the brake...
Page 18
OPERATING - BRAKE….Cont BENDING SHEET METAL Tip: To reduce the chance of scoring your workpiece when using the brake, always keep the fingers and receivers clean and lubricated (refer to page 22 for detailed instructions), and free of burrs or other blemishes. Also, apply a strip of sturdy tape along the top and bottom of the bend line.
Page 19
SHEARING OVERVIEW The SIP 01529 has a set of reversible blades that shear mild steel up to 1mm in thickness and 760 mm in width. When you use the hand crank to perform a shear, the upper movable blade is lowered past the fixed table blade, creating a shearing action (see Figures 29-30).
Page 20
Keeping all body parts away from the blades, rotate the hand crank with an even and steady pressure to complete the cut. MATERIAL THICKNESS The SIP 01529 is designed to bend and shear mild steel sheet metal up to 1 mm in thickness.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE For optimum performance from your machine, follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in this section. DAILY MAINTENANCE: • Clean the machine. • Tighten loose mounting bolts. • Check/replace damaged rollers. • Check/replace cracked or damaged brake fingers or receiver. •...

MAINTENANCE / CLEANING Cleaning the SIP 01529 is relatively easy. Use cloth and degreasing spirits to wipe down the machine. LUBRICATION Keep your SIP 01529 properly lubricated to help ensure long life and smooth operation of the machine. CLEAN THE MACHINE FINGERS...
Page 23
CLEANING….Cont Place a thin piece of wood on the finger receiv- er, as shown in Figure 35, then reinstall the fin- gers so that they rest on the wood. Make sure the tops of the fingers are between the gib and the casting.
Page 24
CLEANING….Cont ROLLER BUSHINGS Remove the top roller from the machine, then re- move the bushings from the ends of the roller (see Figure 39). Use a shop rag and degreasing spirits to clean the bushings and the ends of the roller. Apply a thin coat of multi-purpose grease to the roller ends.

4 metal or better to sharpen the cutting face of the blade. The upper shearing blade uses a 5° relief edge and the lower table blade does not. However, if you are not comfortable performing the sharpening procedure or do not have access to a professional sharpening service, replacement blades are available through the SIP Cus- tomer Services department.
Page 26
SERVICE….Cont Inspect the blade cutting edge that was in use, for wear, nicks, or burrs. • If the cutting edge shows wear or nicks and the other cutting edge has not been used, rotate the blade and re-install it. • If both cutting edges are worn or nicked, either properly sharpen the cutting face or replace the blade.

SERVICE….Cont ADJUSTING THE SHEAR TABLE. Tools Needed Hex Wrench 6mm Standard Screwdriver #2 TO ADJUST THE BLADE GAP BY MOVING THE TABLE: Loosen the cap screws on either end of the shear table that secure it to the machine (see Figure 43).
Page 28
SERVICE….Cont TO ADJUST THE BLADE GAP WITH THE BLADE BOW: Hold the adjustment bolt still, then turn the jam nut to adjust the centre of the cross beam in or out (see Figure 48). • If the shear test cut was clean on the ends of the shear table but not in the middle, turn the jam nut counter clockwise to force the adjustment bolt against the cross beam, moving it in toward the front.
Page 29
SERVICE….Cont ADJUSTING THE SHEAR TABLE. Place a piece of heavy flat bar stock or a heavy metal ruler across the finger receiver, as shown in Figure 46. Lower the brake fingers until one just rests on the metal bar, as shown in Figure 45. Starting at one end, visually check the gap be- tween the brake fingers and the metal bar.
TROUBLESHOOTING Rolling Operation PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION Slip roll creates cones when Top and rear rollers not parallel. Use the diameter adjustment knobs trying to make a cylinder. to make the rollers parallel. Creases or wrinkles in the Excessive pressure applied when rolling. Reduce the radius and perform the workpiece.
