OPERATION
Techniques and examples explained are not intended to be fully-exhaustive and definitive. The best method depends on the specific construction of the building worked on, the brand and type of material used, and the particular skills of the applicator.
BASIC
1. Mark both ends of material to be bent (use pencil, punch or snips). 2. Insert material in brake to marks, lock brake by pushing Lock Handle (No. 15) all the way to the stop position. 3. Bend to desired angle in one continuous, smooth motion. NOTE: During bend, hold Bending Handle equal distance from ends of Handle. If over bend on one end occurs while standing at center of brake, move your body in opposite direction of over bend.
