Hazard Analysis
- Eye protection required. (Metal can snap while bending, and flakes of rust, mill scale, or paint can become airborne.
- Cuts / Scrapes from sharp cut edges of workpiece. Use of gloves is acceptable when using this machine.

Notes and Best Practices
- Die Set consists of 3 Parts:
- One Forming Die - One Pressure Die (Follow Bar) - One U-Block (A small square block that retains the workpiece.)
- The Forming Die does not rotate. The Follow Bar rolls around the die. A stationary die makes it easier to control the location of the bend your workpiece.
- Our machine is equipped with a foot pedal control. (The manufacturer’s instructions and the YouTube instructions show a hand control.)
