when bending. Throughout this manual,
those four orientations are identified by a
number (show as figure 10).
To position the stop block (#3) ( that is, to
select the proper orientation and the
proper hole in the loop):
1. Connect the handle to the center pin of
the loop, with the appropriate die installed
on the center pin.
2. Install the appropriate die at the
appropriate hole in the handle.
3. Inset a piece of the material to be
formed. With the handle all the way back
(counterclockwise), install the stop block
—
in the orientation that places it as close
to the center pin as possible.
IMPORTANT:
Always use the loop hole
that places the stop block as close to the
center pin or die as possible, while
leaving space for the material to be
inserted.
If there is too much space between the
stop block and the center pin or die, turn
the block to a different orientation or
move the block one hole closer to the
center.
Positioning the Block Support
The block support must be located under
the stop block as shown as figure 11, to
keep the block centered vertically in the
loop.
Install the support in the appropriate loop
hole where it will support the stop block
but not interfere with inserting the hitch
pin all the way through the block hole and
the lower hole in the loop.
CAUTION:
Always position the stop
block
off-center to the right
—
no
matter which face is used against
the material. If positioned off-center
to the left, the block will turn and the
material will slip in the Bender.
