Additional Safety for Brakes
CRUSHING & AMPUTATION INJURIES. The
brake can quickly crush or amputate fingers or
hands. Never place fingers or hands underneath
fingers.
SECURING Brake. Before using, secure brake to
a sturdy vise that is securely fastened to a work-
bench that can support the weight and dynamic
forces involved in bending sheet metal. Otherwise,
the brake may unexpectedly move or fall, causing
serious injury or property damage.
METAL EDGES. Sharp edges on sheet metal can
result in severe cuts. Always wear leather gloves
and chamfer/de-burr sharp sheet metal edges
before handling.
TOOLS IN POOR CONDITION. Using this tool
with loose hardware or damaged components
could result in sudden, uncontrolled movements
during use. Inspect the brake for cracked compo-
nents, damaged linkage, levers, or loose fasten-
ers. Correct any problems before use.
PINCHING. To prevent pinching injuries, lower the
fingers when not in use.
GLOVES AND GLASSES. Always wear leather
gloves and approved safety glasses when using
this brake.
HEATING METAL. Heating the workpiece with a
torch while it is in the brake will weaken the metal
of the fingers and frame. Do not use a torch or
other similar heating tool near the brake.
BACK INJURIES. The operating lever motion
required to operate this brake is potentially harm-
ful if proper technique is not used. To avoid back
injuries, keep your back vertical and never over-
exert yourself.
OVERLOADING. Overloading this machine can
cause injury from flying parts if breakage occurs.
Do not exceed the machine capacities.
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents
are frequently caused by lack of familiarity
or failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to decrease the
risk of operator injury. If normal safety pre-
cautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies
to your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equip-
ment, or poor work results.
