OPERATION
CAUTION:
footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges.
Bending
1. Before actually bending, several "dry runs" should be performed to familiarize yourself with
all of the machine functions.
2. Keep hands away from the bending zone.
3. With the drive lever and the ratchet wheel in the home (0°) position, bending or dry running
can take place.
4. Depending on the material size, you will
need to choose bending speed 1, 2, or 3.
Until you are familiar with the machine
always start bending using speed 1. You
can change speeds at any time during a
bend. If it is easy for the user to pull on the
bending handle, then the speed can be
increased if desired.
5. Each pull of the handle equals the degrees
listed below.
a. 4 degrees per pull in speed 1
b. 8 degrees per pull in speed 2
c. 12 degrees per pull in speed 3
d. Increasing speed increases pulling
effort of the bending handle.
6. When the machine is in the home position, engage the anti-springback lever (A).
7. Next engage the ratchet release lever (B).
8. Without material in the machine. Pull on the ratchet wheel clockwise. You will hear a "click"
every time the lever is cycled through one stroke in speed 1. Return the lever counter
clockwise and you will hear another "click". You just engaged another tooth on the ratchet
wheel. Continue though these cycles and you can "bend" or "ratchet" all the way to 200 deg.
9. If you select speed two, you will hear 2 clicks with each full stroke of the handle, and 3 clicks
on speed three.
Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety
