Operation (cont.)
- 3 -
To Open
To Close
1
To start using your new brake, rotate the lock-
ing handle (1) counterclockwise (toward you), to
open jaws.
2
Insert material into jaws, rotate locking handle
clockwise (away from you), until lightly clamped
in place. Align bend marks with the edge of the
stainless strip. Lock Brake.
3
With a solid grip on the bending handles, lift
bending hinge against material until desired angle
is made. If you are unsure, use a small piece of scrap
as a template.
Material Stops
Using Optional TrimCutter
™
Using Optional TrimFormer
™
Material Stops are used in pairs to allow for quick
bending without having to measure and mark each
piece of metal. To set stops, lock brake along your
initial marks. Loosen thumb screws and slide block up
against edge of material. Retighten thumb screws.
TrimCutter
™
will cut just about anything the brake
will bend. Lock material in place and place Trim-
Cutter
™
in tracks. With one steady motion, extend
TrimCutter
™
the full length of piece.
TrimFormer
™
was designed to use with lighter
gauge aluminum trim coil and is used to place con-
tours into trim work. Lock material in brake and
extend tool along piece. For a more pronounced
effect, extend tool along piece several times.
Adjusting Your Brake
1
Your new brake comes from the factory ready to bend. Due to normal wear, or when changing to a unique thickness of material, it may become necessary to
readjust the cam wedges to ensure uniform clamping/holding pressure. Cut 2" x 2" test squares from the material you intend to bend. Lock one square in place at
each casting. Try to pull each square out of the brake. Excessive movement at that point will require an adjustment of the wedge. Follow procedure below.
Adjusting (cont.) Care & Maintenance
2
To adjust, loosen wedge screw and move wedge
in direction of arrow 1/8". Retest and repeat if
necessary.
1
Keep clamping surfaces clean and free of debris.
Inspect hinge area each day before use. Ensure
hinge moves freely in slot.
2
Inspect hinge area daily for dirt, debris or metal
shavings. Ensure vinyl strip is free of excessive wear
or damage and replace as needed.
