To set up for bending:
1. Place a piece of wood 30" longon the bottom
die. This will support the upper die(s) duringthe
following adjustment.
2. Close the brake until the wood contacts the
upper dies.
3. Loosen hex cap socket retaining screws (A, Fig.
4).
4. Select die(s) (8, Fig.4) for the desiredjob and
remove others.
5. Lower handle until the wood forces the dies to
seat uniformly in the upper beam.
6. Lock all clamp screws (A, Fig.4) securely.
To adjust the brake beamto make 90° bends at the
bottom of the stroke:
1. Loosen locking screws slightly (A, Fig. 5).
2. Turn brake beam adjusting nuts (8, Fig. 5)
located on either end of the beam untiltest
bends reflect a 90° bend at both ends of the
brake.
3. Tighten locking screws (A, Fig. 5).
For special repetitive bends, the brake beam may be
adjusted to over-bend the desired angle since the
metal will have some degree of "spring back".
