B. ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
To adjust Brake for bending clearance, raise folding blade 90 degrees,
insert material between edges of folding blade and leading edge of fingers
(for heavy material, clearance should be twice the thickness, less for
lighter gauge or if sharper bend is desired). Adjust finger mount
weldment by turning arm adjustment bolts (item 48). To adjust clamping
pressure, insert material under fingers and turn arm adjustment bolts
until material is held securely when fingers are lowered. To adjust
degree of bend, pins (item 44) located on both ends of folding blade for
desired degree of bend.
Reverse Bends
Remove the five Hex head cap screws 3/8-16x1 (item 67) the support bar
(item 64and adjust Brake as shown.

MINIMUM LENGTH OF BEND WHEN

NOTE: Di-Acro Brakes are rated for 1” minimum flange when bending

C. MICROMETER BACK GAUGE - #8348144-170
Typically the back gauge is assembled when the finger brake is shipped
from the factory. Occasionally it is removed for ease of palletizing. To
install and/or zero the gauge follow the instructions below.
1. Install quik set rod (item 82) in holes located in rear of the
base casting.
2. Hold quik set dial assemblies (items 79,80,83) on zero and
screw rods in until gage (item 78) lines up with folding blade.
Quik set rods can be locked in place by tightening screws
located behind folding blade.
3. To position micrometer back gauge rapidly, turn quik set dial
assemblies to zero. Depress dial and slide complete back gauge
assembly to desired position. For fine adjustment turn quik set
dial assemblies in regular manner.
