2.1 The heavier capacity manual folders are sturdily constructed machines, which have
been specially engineered to cope with the more demanding folding requirements on
sheets of up to 2020 mm in width. All models have counter-balanced folding beams, and
clearances in the clamp, bed and fold bars. Also as standard equipment machine are fitted
with an angle stop on the folding beam and come with mounting holes for the
optional back-gauge. The machine is hand-operated. All sizes can be offered with either a
solid or segmented sharp nose blade.

3 Mounting
The machine is delivered on a wooden plate. After unpacking, all rust-able parts could be
cleaning fluid or similar and lubricated in neutral oil.

4 Operation
Before use banding stop No.6 must be loosened. The seizing pressure is (from the
factory)adjusted at 2mm sheets. If bending with blocks, bolt No.1 must be adjusted
to the opening and seizing pressure required.

Setting of seizing pressure can be done by loosening the bolts No.1 in each side and with
the help of the enclosed handle the bolts can be moved in the guides. With grip No.5 the
bending rail can be lowered to minimum the plate thickness. Before bending the bolts
No.1 must be tightened and the machine is now ready to operate.

6
4.1 Angle settings
The required bending angle can be obtained by bending stop No.6 according to the
protractor. Make a bending test and the bending stop can be adjusted.

4.2 Bending
The clamping beam is lowered to minimum the thickness of the plate, by bending above
90% the distance must be bigger. The clamping beam is lowered by grip No.5 (locking of
eccentric) and then the folding beam can be lifted to bending stop.

4.3 Maintenance
General cleaning. All rail parts must be lubricated for every 100 working hours.

5 Important
The machine rust proofed parts must only be cleaned with paraffin in quick operation.
