6. STARTING TO BEND
To perform a 90º clockwise bending, we need to place the selector in the position of the wanted rotation.
Afterwards, we insert the pivot (P, Fig.8)) in the plate forming a fictitious 90º angle with the end of course (F1, Fig.
8) responsible for reversing the plate rotation. Then, we press the pedal and watch the plate rotation, the pivot
contact with the micro and the plate goes back to its origin to make contact with the micro (F2, Fig.8) which is
responsible for stopping the regression rotation.
NOTE: It is convenient to perform various angles before bending any bars so as to have a good
command of the machine.
To perform a 90º counter-clockwise bending, we need to place the selector in the position of the wanted
rotation. Afterwards, we insert the pivot (P, Fig.9) in the plate forming a fictitious 90º angle with the end of course
(F1, Fig 9) responsible for reversing the plate rotation. Then, we press the pedal and watch the plate rotation, the
pivot contact with the micro and the plate goes back to its origin to make contact with the micro (F2, Fig) which is
responsible for stopping the regression rotation.
NOTE: It is convenient to perform various angles before bending any bars so as to have a good
command of the machine.
NOTE: Depending on the diameter of the bar to be bended and its hardness, we have to find the adequate
sector to place the inversion pivot. If you do not get the desired angle with the inversion pivot, you will have to refine
the accuracy of the angle with the ruler adjusting wheel (F1) (V, Fig. 8 Y 9). As such, you regulate the bar support
angle influencing the angle to make.
6.1 USE OF THE BENDING SQUARE
The bending square is used to bend bars with diameter equal to or lower than 16mm. To make a sample,
proceed as follows, bending by the extreme right of the operator.
1. Plug the machine to the electricity.
2. Place the bending blade rotation direction selector in the adequate position (Clockwise).
IMPORTANT: Check the angle and the rotation direction with the inversion pivot before mounting
any accessories on the table to avoid accidents.
3. Mount the bending square in the right ruler of the machine on a bolt. (E, Fig.10)
4. Place a second bolt to serve as a support of the bending square. (B2, Fig.10)
5. Insert the thrust bolt and the cap in the hole of the bending plate #1 (B3 Fig.10).
6. Insert another bolt in the centre of the plate and a chuck to obtain the desired ratio. (B4, Fig.10).
7. Introduce the bar and press the pedal to obtain the selected angle.
6.2 BENDING WITH BOLTS AND MANDRILLS
To bend bar with diameter greater than ø16mm, use the bolts and mandrills system instead of the bending
square. To make a sample proceed as follows:
1. Plug the machine to the electricity.
2. Place the selector in the adequate rotation position (clockwise) to make the bar entry on the right side of
the machine. Check the angle with the inversion pivot before mounting any accessories on the table.
3. Place in the centre of the plate the central bolt and the appropriate mandrill for the ratio we want to obtain
(B1, Fig.11).
4. Place the thrust bolt and mandrill (B2, Fig.11)
5. Place the support bolt over the chuck to support the bar so as to be as linear as possible (B3, Fig.11)
6. Introduce the bar, press the pedal and get the result. If the angle obtained is not the desired one, we will
have to change the place of the inversion pivot or spin the wheel (V, Fig.11) moving the ruler forward to get finer
angle.
