If the machine fails to cycle, power down the Porta-Power by depressing the red button on the starterbox, consult the trouble shooting section of the Operations Manual. Depress the red e-stop button on the hand control to kill power at the Porta Power. To reset power, twist the e-stop button and push start button at Porta Power. When disconnecting your Bender, simply reverse procedure.

Die Set Diagram Die Set Operations Wiper Mounting Block Adjustment Set Screw Slide a sample piece of the material being bent into the die set. If alignment of the Wiper Assembly to the Forming Die is required use the Adjustment Set-Screw to center the Wiper to the forming die. Secure the alignment with the jamb-nut provided. Failure to properly align wiper assembly with forming die may damage the product being bent, die set, machine or operator.
Head Frame Diagram 1 1/4” Hardened Pins (2) Protractor/Auto-Stop Control Yoke Assembly Protractor The protractor wheel will aid you in bending your product to the desired angle. If adjustment of your protractor is required, simply loosen the protractor mounting screws and rotate the dial to align with the 0-degree position. Re-secure the mounting screws to continue operation.
Bending Troubleshooting If the desired bend angle is beyond the reach of the initial drive hole, push the IN button to relieve pressure between the forming die, drive pin and head-frame. Once pressure is relieved in the assembly, you will be able to remove the drive pin from the assembly, fully retract the cylinder and set the drive pin in the next adjacent drive hole. Repeat the process, progressively drawing your material through the bender until your desired bend is achieved.
