7.2 Unpacking and cleanup
Inspect contents of shipping container for
shipping damage. Report any damage to your
distributor.
Remove all contents from carton, and compare
to the contents list in this manual. Report any
part shortages to your distributor.
Do not discard carton or packing material until
machine is assembled and working properly.
Exposed metal areas may have a rust protectant
applied. Remove this with a soft rag and solvent
such as kerosene. (Do not use gasoline, paint
thinner, acetone, etc., as these will damage
painted surfaces.)
Contents of shipping container
1 Box and Pan Brake
2 Support legs with screws
1 Instructions and Parts Manual (not shown)
1 Warranty Card (not shown)
8mm hex key required for assembly.
Numbers in parentheses refer to Figure 1.
7.3 Assembly
1. Remove any straps securing the machine,
and raise into position using properly rated
lifting equipment. The floor must be stable
and level.
Continue to stabilize the
machine while installing the support legs.
2. Attach the two support legs (11) with two
screws each.
3. Secure machine to floor using lag screws or
similar system. See diagram, Figure 2.
8.0 Operation
8.1 Adjusting setback
The bending leaf blade (7) must be adjusted for
proper clearance, or “setback” (A, Figure 3)
based on material thickness (B, Figure 3).
Generally, setback for material within four
gauges of capacity should be twice the
thickness of material. For lighter gauges, use 1-
1/2 times the material thickness. Consult a
machinery handbook for bend allowances.
Figure 3
1. Loosen setback locking screws (5).
2. Rotate setback knobs (6) in equal amounts
(clockwise decreases distance).
Note: When increasing distance (counter-
clockwise), you may have to pull back
slightly on the bending leaf to take up any
backlash.
3. Bring the clamping leaf into position and
check the setback.
4. Repeat above steps until proper distance is
achieved. Verify that bending leaf blade (7)
is parallel to clamping fingers (2).
5. Tighten screws (5).
If a crown develops in the material, this can be
adjusted out by loosening or tightening the hex
nuts on the crown adjustment rod (12). Note:
This rod has been correctly set by the
manufacturer and should only be adjusted when
needed.
8.2 Adjusting clamping pressure
Clamping pressure should be great enough to
hold material securely, but not so much that it
becomes difficult to clamp
Rotate clamping adjustment knobs (3) equally to
set clamping pressure.
8.3 Repeat bends
Adjust stop bolt (4) to limit swing of bending leaf.
