This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this symbol on
your machine or in this manual, BE ALERT TO THE
POTENTIAL FOR PERSONAL INJURY!
Follow recommended precautions and safe operating
practices.
UNDERSTAND SIGNAL WORDS
A signal word –DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION
is used with the safety alert symbol. DANGER
identifies a hazard or unsafe practice that will result in
severe Injury or Death.
Safety signs with signal word DANGER or WARNING are
typically near specific hazards.
General precautions are listed on CAUTION safety signs.
CAUTION also calls attention to safety messages in this
manual.
IMPORTANT
PLEASE READ THIS OPERATORS MANUAL CAREFULLY
It contains important safety information, instructions, and necessary operating
procedures. The continual observance of these procedures will help increase your

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
PROTECT EYES
Wear safety glasses or suitable eye protection when working on or
around machinery.
PROTECT AGAINST NOISE
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of
hearing. Wear suitable hearing protective devices such as ear muffs or
earplugs to protect against objectionable or uncomfortable loud noises.
BEWARE OF PINCH AND CRUSH HAZARD
Keep hands and fingers away from the pivoting jaw Mechanism.
NEVER place your hand or any part of your body in this machine.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Metal working can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As
with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using
the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury.
However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator
may result.
Safety equipment such as guards, hold-downs, safety glasses, dust masks and hearing
protection can reduce your potential for injury. But even the best guard won’t make up for poor
judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense and exercise caution in
the workshop. If a procedure feels dangerous, don’t try it.
REMEMBER: Your personal safety is your responsibility.
WARNING:FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY

UNPACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS
Your Baileigh machine is shipped complete in one crate. Separate all parts from the packing
material and check each item carefully. Make certain all items are accounted for before
discarding any packing material.
Save the containers and all packing materials for possible inspection by the carrier or its agent.
Otherwise, filing a freight claim can be difficult.
Cleaning
Your machine may be shipped with a rustproof waxy oil coating and grease on the exposed
unpainted metal surfaces. To remove this protective coating, use a degreaser or solvent
cleaner. For a more thorough cleaning, some parts will occasionally have to be removed. DO
NOT USE acetone or brake cleaner as they may damage painted surfaces.
Follow manufacturer’s label instructions when using any type of cleaning product. After cleaning,
wipe unpainted metal surfaces with a light coating of quality oil or grease for protection.
CAUTION: When using cleaning solvents work in a well-ventilated area.
Many cleaning solvents are toxic if inhaled.
WARNING: DO NOT USE gasoline or other petroleum products to clean
the machine. They have low flash points and can explode or cause fire.
WARNING:If any parts are missing, do not operate the machine until the
missing parts are obtained and installed correctly.

INSTALLATION
Leveling
The machine should be sited on a level, concrete floor. Provisions for securing it should be in
position prior to placing the machine. The accuracy of any machine depends on the precise
placement of it to the mounting surface.
IMPORTANT:
Consider current and future needs, size of material to be processed through each machine,
and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a location
for your new machine.
Maintain an adequate working area around the machine for safety.
Have the work area well illuminated with proper lighting.
Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from
obstructing objects.
Keep the floor free of oil and make sure it is not slippery.
If long lengths of material are to be fed into the machine, make sure that they will not extend
into any aisles.
It is recommended that you mount your new machine to the
floor. Because flooring material may vary, floor mounting
hardware is not included. Generally, you can either bolt
your machine to the floor or mount it on machine mounts.
Both options are describes below. Whichever option you
choose, it is necessary to level your machine with a
precision level.
Bolting to concrete floors
Leg shied anchors with lag bolts and anchor studs are two
popular methods for anchoring an object to a concrete
floor. We suggest you research the many options and
methods for mounting your machine and choose the
best that fits your specific application.
Note: Anchor studs are stronger and more
permanent alternatives to lag shield anchors; however,
they will stick out of the floor, which may cause a
tripping hazard if you decide to move your machine.
As an alternative you can mount the shrinker / stretcher
on a movable stand. The stand must be strong enough
to support the weight of the machine and the material
being processed, as well as providing the ballast to prevent the machine from tipping over.

ASSEMBLY AND SET UP
1. Grease the pivot shaft and install the pivot shaft in the hole on the end of the foot pedal.
2. Mount the foot pedal and pivot shaft with the M10 screws.
3. Place the foot pedal into the base. Make sure the
threaded link screw is pointing up and into the main
unit.
4. Move the foot pedal in to the main unit and at the same time, with your other hand guide the
threaded link screw up in the opening.
5. Install the two (2) M10 screws for the pivot shaft and at the same time keep the screw
threaded link in the opening.

11
11
6. Tighten both screws.
7. Mount the spring, first into the main unit, then to the foot pedal.
8. Grease the foot pedal axle and install the axle in the hole in the end of the foot pedal.
9. Mount the foot pedal link and the axle with the two (2) M8 screws.

12
12
10. Connect the link to the threaded link screw and screw it in about 15 turns.
11. The length of the link has to be adjusted so that the height of the low side of the foot pedal
is 7.5” ± .5” (190.5mm ± 12.7mm). Place a 7.5” (190.5mm) block under the foot pedal and
adjust the link until the upper screws will install easily.

13
13
12. Install the two (2) M8 screws for the upper link and tighten.
13. Mount the jaws by first installing the screws into the
jaw.
14. Place the jaws one at a time with the text to the outside. Then tighten the jaws.

14
14
15. It is very important to use the same type of jaws; shrinker
with shrinker or stretcher with stretcher jaws. DO NOT
interchange. It is also important to have the text in the same
direction. Best results are text to the outside.
16. On the shrinker jaws the openings have to be placed
forward.
17. Oil the jaws every week depending on usage.
18. When the machine is not in use, the securing pin shall be installed to prevent unintended
usage.
19. Use the holder on the side of the machine to store the jaws that are not in use.

15
15
OPERATION
The function of this tool is to shrink or stretch sheet metal up to 16 ga. (1.5mm) with radius down
to 1” (25.4mm)
The principal operation is made when the sheet work piece is placed between the jaws and then
applying and releasing force with the foot on the foot pedal. The work piece is moved as
required each time the foot pedal is released. By moving smoothly you will be able to make
smooth shapes quickly and easily. PRACTICE.
MATERIAL SELECTION
When selecting materials keep these instructions in mind:
Material must be clean and dry. (without oil)
Material should have a smooth surface so it processes easily.
Dimensional properties of material must be consistent and not exceed the machine capacity
values.
Chemical structure of material must be consistent.
Buy certificated steel from the same vendor when possible.
CAUTION: It must be determined by the customer that materials being
processed through the machine are NOT potentially hazardous to operator or
personnel working nearby.
CAUTION: Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety
footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges.
Keep hands and fingers clear of the dies.
When handling large heavy sheets make sure they are properly supported.
WARNING:DO NOT step on the foot pedal without having work material
between the jaws. The jaws may chip or break causing injury from fling objects.
