1. Preparations
1.1 Installation
The machine is delivered on a pallet and packed in protective wrapping. When the
machine is delivered it has been pre-treated with an anti corrosive. Use an ordinary
detergent when cleaning. Do not use thinner. The machine must be placed on a firm and
level ground. Bolt it to the floor using the anchoring holes.
It is important that this machine is bolted to the floor.
Before the machine is bolted to the floor the machine it is necessary to level out the
machine. It might be necessary to make adjustment with distance pieces underneath the
machine if the floor is not in level. The adjustment is necessary to avoid the machine for
twisting and then pull uneven.
1.2 Loosening the bending stop
Before usage you will need to loosen the bending stop (Fig. 2.1 no. 7). The camber is from
the factory adjusted to 1mm sheets, if another setting is needed to e.g. Bending of a
thicker sheet, you will need to adjust this using the handle (Fig2.1 no. 8) to the thickness
of the sheet + 25% so the sheet can be bend without ruining the segments. The camber is
adjusted using handles (Fig. 2.1 no 6) until you can lock the foot pedal.
1.3 Adjusting the lower beam
If the bend is not satisfactory in the middle of the sheet, it can be caused by the bending
beam not having an adequate bombarding (crowning). This can be solved by tightening
the two nuts (Fig 2.1 no. 5), giving the bending beam a bigger bombarding. This should
normally only be needed after the machine has been in use for a while.
