Maintenance Tips

• Keep Clean – Wipe down surfaces after each use to remove dust, metal shavings, and debris.
• Lubricate Moving Parts – Apply machine oil to hinges, pivot points, and clamping mechanisms for smooth operation.
• Inspect Bending Fingers – Check for alignment and wear; adjust or replace as needed for precise bends.
• Tighten Fasteners – Periodically check and secure bolts and screws to maintain stability.
• Avoid Overloading – Do not exceed the 16-gauge mild steel capacity to prevent stress on components.
• Check Bending Angle – Ensure the bending leaf and stop settings are properly calibrated for accurate angles (1-135°).
• Prevent Rust – Store in a dry area and apply a light coat of oil on exposed metal surfaces.
• Align Material Properly – Position the sheet metal evenly before bending to achieve clean, uniform bends.
• Perform Test Bends – Use scrap material to confirm accuracy before working on important projects.
• Follow Safety Guidelines – Wear gloves and eye protection to prevent injuries from sharp edges.
