SAFETY RULES
1. WARNING: Electrical danger -- misuse or improper installation of bending brake connected to a
source of electricity may result in accidental shock that could cause injury or death. Power cord
installation must be grounded.
2. WARNING: Mechanical danger -- keep hands and fingers clear of clamping keepers at all times.
Misuse or improper handling of the bending brake may result in accidental pinching that could cause
injury to or loss of fingers.
3. Do not operate bending brake without reading Operator’s Manual and without proper supervisory
instructions.
4. Bending brake is a one person machine and must be operated by qualified authorized personnel.
5. The magnetic bending base is intended only for bending sheet metal through the keeper clamps.
Any other use may seriously damage the magnetic surfaces, or cause personal injury.
6. For heavy duty bending, the mounting legs should be attached to the floor with 1/2” x 1 1/4” screws.
If the bending brake is to be portable, the optional foot platform kit #256080004 should be used for
additional stability.
7. Do not place any foreign objects between clamping keeper and magnetic work base.
8. When using short clamping keepers, do not store full-length clamping keeper on any structural part of
the bending brake. This also applies to any foreign objects.
9. Do not clutter keeper tray with tools, bent parts, or scrap sheet metal. Only store keepers in the tray.
10. Do not place or hold any foreign steel bars or plates within the keeper area or attempt to reposition
any keeper while the magnet is switched on. Failure to comply may seriously damage the magnetic
surfaces or cause personal injury.
11. Proper handling procedures are required for large sheet metal lengths, as they may become
awkward to handle when the magnet is switched off (upon lowering the bending beam).
12. Do not use bending brake if servicing is required.
13. When not in use, turn off electrical power.
REMEMBER!
The shapes to be bent on MAGNABEND are really only limited by the imagination. As you become more
familiar with its operation, you will discover many possibilities beyond the capability of any conventional
bending brake.
