Be sure the gauge thickness of the material to be formed to is within the rated
capacity of the machine. Then adjust clamping pressure as follows:
1.
At each end of the brake, loosen both toggle pin lock nuts slightly before
beginning adjustment (see Figure 3).
2.
Place small sample pieces of the material to be formed between the upper
beam radius bar and the bed at each end of the machine. Clamp in position.
3.
At each end of the machine, tighten the lower toggle pin lock nut against
the toggle anchor just enough to hold material firmly when the clamp-
ing lever is against the forward stop (see Figure 3).

SETUP
The machine has been adjusted and pretensioned at the factory. Set-up adjust-
ments are for clamping pressure, material thickness, setting up for narrow or offset
bends, setting bend angle control, and setting up of the optional rear material stops.
Excessive clamping pressure is not required or desirable. It has a tendency to
counteract the normal preloading adjustments and may interfere with obtaining
straight and uniform bends. Use only enough clamping pressure to keep the
material from slipping.
