SAFETY RULES
BUTTON LOCK
1. WARNING:
Electrical Danger---Misuse or improper installation of machinery connected to a source of electricity
may result in accidental shock that could cause injury or death. Installation must conform to National
Electric Code (Article 250-Grounding, etc.)
A trained and qualified electrician must make electrical connections. Electrical characteristics shown
on motor plate and control panel must match the power source; and all electrically powered
equipment must be grounded.

3
2. WARNING:
Mechanical Danger- The power driven forming rolls rotate at all times when power is supplied to the
motor. Never place any part of the body including loose clothing near or onto the rotating rolls.
(KEEP HANDS AWAY). Failure to comply will lead to personal body injury.
3. Never clean forming rolls while rolls are rotating—turn power off to clean rolls.
4. Machine to be operated by authorized personnel who have been trained by their supervisor with the
working and safety features of the machine, and by reading and understanding the Operator’s
Manual.
5. Do not operate Roll former without reading operator’s Manual and without proper supervisory
instructions.
6. Perform all installation and set-up operations before applying power for electrical start-up.

4
7. Never operate machine with any guard removed; i.e., all required guarding to be installed and
effective. Do not override the safety features of the equipment. Do not remove, paint over, alter, or
deface any machine-mounted warning and instruction plates and signs.
8. Never leave machine running unattended. When not in use, turn off electrical power.
9. Never adjust machine with power on.
10. Avoid accidental start-up.
11. Do not use machine if servicing is required.
12. Use safety glasses and required protective tools.
13. Keep work areas clean and in proper order.
14. Be alert to all potential hazards. Notify your supervisor whenever you feel there is a hazard
involving the equipment or the performance of your job.

Button Lock Machine
CAPACITY: 20 gauge and lighter.
MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS PER LOCK:
Receiver Lock, 1-5/16”.
Button Flange (90 deg.), 7/16”.
Total amount of metal, 1-3/4”. This amount is to be added to formed sections for calculation of sheet sizes.
The above dimensions can be somewhat modified by varying the entrance gauge settings to suit the
requirements of a specific project or material.
ELECTRICAL:
Standard electrical: 3 H.P. 220 volts, 60 cycle, 3-phase motor and starter. (Optional 5 H.P. 230 volts, 60
cycles, 1 phase motor.)
OPERATION:
Start machine and feed material into either roll set by holding the material flush against the gauge and
feeding material into the rolls. Keeping the material with the same side up, run the second lock on the
opposite side of the sheet. Check the end results and adjust accordingly if locks are not satisfactory.
RECEIVER LOCK ADJUSTMENT
(INBOARD Roll Set):
The main adjustments affecting the receiver lock are three hold down studs that pass through the spacer
bars. They are stamped (on top) No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 the entrance and exit gauge bar settings. To adjust
the three hold down studs proceed as follows:
WARNING
Check voltage and phase before starting machine. Feed sheet of material into either roll set holding the
material flush against the gauge. Keeping the material with the same side up, run second lock on opposite
side of the sheet.
1. Loosen the ¼” lock screws on the three hold down studs.
2. Tighten the three hold down studs (No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3) until firm resistance is met.
3. Loosen the No. 1(entrance end) 1/8 to 1/4 turn.
4. Loosen the No. 2 studs (center) 1/4 to 1/2 turn.
5. Loosen the No. 3 Stud (exit) 3/8 to 1/2 turns.
Run a piece of material through the machine and check the results. If the setting proves satisfactory, tighten
the two 1/4” lock screws and proceed with the operation of the machine.
FLANGE BUTTON LOCK: (Auxiliary Rolls)
The two 3/8 studs that pass through the plates and the auxiliary side of the machine are the adjustment
points for forming the 90 Deg. Flange. To adjust the auxiliary rolls proceed as follows:
1. Tighten the two hold down studs until firm resistance is met.
2. Loosen 1/4 to 1/2 turn.

6
If the material shows signs of stretch or excessive pressure loosen studs slightly. The material should
emerge from the machine with a properly formed angle to obtain 90 deg. duct corners when locks are
snapped together. The angle can be controlled by the location of the top number eight forming roll on the
shaft and the positioning in or out of the idler bracket located at the seventh and eighth roll station. To adjust
the above proceed as follows:
1. Remove the two idler bracket-retaining cap screws. Note shims are placed between the bracket and
the plate. Shims may range from .020 to .030 to insure proper flange.
2. Remove top and bottom #8 roll station.
3. To increase angle of formed flange add from .010 to .040 shims 22 mm I.D. on the roll shaft.
4. Place the roll onto the shaft securely by tightening setscrew.
5. Replace bottom #8 roll.
6. Replace idler bracket assembly.
If angle is less than 90 deg. then too much pressure is applied by the top 8 roll or idler bracket rollers.
Adjust roller and bracket to obtain proper results.
GAUGE SETTINGS:
Both entrance gauges located at front of machine may be checked or reset by placing a straight edge along
the outer edge of the machine plate for the inboard rolls and along the outer edge of the rolls for the button
flange. (See Sketch # 1 .)
PRESENT GAUGE SETTINGS:
Inboard Rolls
3-5/64” measured from edge of gauge nearest the rolls.
3-1/8” measured from edge of gauge farthest from rolls. (As shown is Sketch # 1.)
AUXILIARY BUTTON FLANGE:
1” measured from edge of gauge nearest the rolls.
1-1/32” measured from edge of gauge farthest from rolls.
The above gauge settings can be modified slightly to suit specific requirements.
TROUBLE CHECKS:
Due to the unusual physical characteristics of certain types of material, it may become necessary to reset the
entrance gauge in its entirety. In the event that the material pulls away from the gauge or the lock is not
formed properly, the gauge-taper can be increased – or the entire gauge setting may be increased or
decreased slightly to achieve required results. Exit gauge bars are set to, but not against, the formed edge of
material when emerging from the machine.
In running certain types of material, it may be necessary to add a slight lubricant to the edge of the sheet
being formed to aid the flow of material into the finished lock. The above may be required if the 1/8” return
hem does not form properly – if this hem is irregular in nature or tends to wave at edge of formed section –
or entrance gauge adjustments do not correct or compensate for proper formation. This lubricant is any light
machine oil applied either manually or by a felt wiper pad mounted on the machine.
To obtain the best lock, it will be necessary to insure that the material is in contact with the entrance-starting
gauge throughout the complete length of the sheet being formed. Certain materials, as well as hold- down
adjustment may have a tendency to allow the material to drift away from the gauge. When this occurs the

7
lock will be improperly formed – and you may also lose the hem-return. The same condition may exist if the
entrance gauge is not set correctly.
STRAIGHTNESS:
Raising or lowering the adjustable gauge bar on the exit end of the machine can eliminate upward or
downward bow. (See Sketch # 3.) Lowering the exit bar and putting pressure slightly on the formed lock can
compensate upward bow. A downward bow shows too much pressure against material – raise bar slightly.
Should the auxiliary button flange shape bow downward, a thin shim can be placed onto the tabletop to
apply slight pressure to the underside of the material thereby straightening the formed section.
Note: the # 1 roll station punch position can be shimmed out away from the machine plates to locate the
punch closer to the bend line thereby achieving a tighter fit on the snap. See Warning note for proper roll
positioning.
WARNING:
The gauge setting should not be made while #1 station is shimmed away from its normal location. The Top
# 1 roll is fastened to the shaft by a bolt and washer. The bottom roll is held to the shaft by a key placed into
the rolls and is not restrained but held in place by a shoulder on Top #1 roll and should be allowed to float.
The shim, if required, should be placed behind the top roll only.
LUBRICATION:
There are seven Ale mite fittings located on the underside of the stand. These fittings are for the high-speed
reduction bearings, which should be lubricated after every four hours of operation. Lubricate gears
periodically as required. Recommended lubricant: Lubricant standard viscous # 3 ( a product of the Standard
Oil Co. ) or equivalent.
