+ | ===== Notes ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Make sure electrical stuff is clear - sometimes it gets hung over the brake | ||
+ | * Handles on sides are for raising/ | ||
+ | * Red counterweight on left side helps balance the front lever action | ||
+ | * Clamp fingers down onto piece using the levers, then lift the front handles to bend. | ||
+ | * Careful when taking fingers off - they can chip and break | ||
+ | * Why switch fingers? If you are making bends in different axes, would have space to keep the bent parts clear of fingers | ||
+ | * Switching fingers | ||
+ | * Place triangular piece of wood under the fingers to prevent them from falling | ||
+ | * Place hand under finger to prevent the finger getting damaged | ||
+ | * loosen with 6mm allen key | ||
+ | * When inserting, push up to the top | ||
+ | * Upgrades | ||
+ | * Safety wired allen key onto the machine for changing the fingers | ||
+ | * Triangular piece of wood to hold the fingers when changing them | ||
+ | * Machine a shaft collar / stop thingy for the stop rod on the brake | ||
+ | * (cosmetic) Sand blast and powder coat the counterweight rod | ||
+ | * Replace handlebars (cracked / bent close to the machine) | ||
+ | * Wooden caddy for brake fingers when not installed in the machine - an inverted crib so they stay secure and slide to a safe place | ||
+ | * Maintenance | ||
+ | * Ensure pins are in place on handle, plus some ways oil to lube the mechanism | ||
+ | * Ask Cord - label the 2x4s at the finger brake with what they' | ||
