Over-bending
Check end-to-end alignment by clamping two test strips in the brake, about 3 or 4 inches away from either
end of the brake. Bend to about 90 degrees, and see if they appear to be bent to the same degree.
Remove them from the brake and stack one inside the other. Compare the sharpness of the radius. If one
test strip is over-bent or has a sharper radius, move the end of the clamp which that strip came from back
slightly. The clamp assembly should be moved back on the end where the over-bending occurs by slightly
unclamping the clamp handle, loosening the bracket lock screw and turning the adjusting bracket screw.
When the correction is made, retighten the bracket lock screw.
Test again.
When your brake was assembled at the factory it was adjusted for proper operation. Due to handling and
repositioning, the brake may require adjustment and alignment. Read the adjustment and operating
instructions completely before making any adjustments. Operate the brake and bend some material first
before attempting any major adjustment.
