PRECAUTIONS:
1) Read and understand the safety instructions on page 3 of this manual before proceeding.
2) Always adjust the clearance and clamping pressure for different thicknesses of material.
3) Always bend short pieces of material in the center of the brake in order to equalize the stress and
avoid damage to the brake.

The basic components of a brake are: Table – the base or major frame; Clamp – the top which holds
against the material being formed; and Apron – the front plate which you swing up to form material.
