SET-UP
MOUNTING BENDER IN VICE
• Open vice jaws (not included) to
2-1/2” Place the stepped section
of the Pin Base
[A]
into the vice
with the side flanges resting on top
of the vice jaws
(FIG 1)
.
• Close vice jaws and tighten
securely.
• The Eastwood Rod Forming Tool
is now ready for use.
Strenuous external torque loads are placed on the Rod Forming Tool during
operation. The tool cannot be operated without adequate support or severe
personal injury or property damage can occur if it should suddenly become
dislodged or moves while in use. Before beginning ANY work with this tool,
it is absolutely necessary that it be securely mounted in a solid, level, well
supported vice capable of withstanding the torque and side loads this tool
is subjected to during use.
The Eastwood Rod Forming Tool can present a hand/finger pinch hazard and
cause potentially serious injuries if dropped on feet. Avoid pinching hands
while operating and wear thick, well-fitting work gloves to prevent cuts from
handling sharp metal. The use of safety shoes is strongly recommended.
Make sure sufficient clearance is available around the vice area to allow a full
swing of the Rod Former Handle.
