Machine Setup
1. Remove machine from packaging.
2. Assemble stand by bolting through the bottom of stand with the M12X60 allen bolt.
3. Then secure gusset from the top with (2) M8X16 bolts.
4. Place machine on top of the bead roller stand and secure using (2) M10X25 allen bolts.
5. Remove the shoulder bolt holding the aluminum handle to the bottom of the bead depth
adjuster.
6. Place the aluminum handle on top of the bead depth adjuster and secure using the shoulder bolt.
7. Remove the (2) M10X25 allen bolts and washers from the ends of the shafts.
8. Turn the bead depth adjuster counter-clockwise a few turns to allow room for the rolls to slide
onto the shafts.
9. Place the bead rolls on the shafts toward the machine. Either roll can be put either shaft, but we
usually recommend that the male type roll go on the top.
10. Secure the rolls to the shafts with the bolts removed in step #7 and snug them down.
11. Unwrap power cord and variable speed foot pedal.
12. Plug in the 110v volt power.
13. Machine is now ready for use.
Operation
1. Step down on the foot pedal to determine if the rolls are turning in the direction you are going to
feed the metal from.
2. Release the foot pedal.
3. If the rolls are not turning in the proper direction, flip the forward / reverse switch.
4. Now you are ready to set your bead depth. This step will require some experimentation to get the
proper depth so it is recommended that you use a scrap piece of the same material you want to
bead roll.
5. Do not start with the rolls completely closed as you may find that the rolls are too close together
and find it difficult to feed the material.
6. Lightly step down on the foot pedal and feed the metal in from the desired side of the machine.
The foot pedal controls the speed.
7. Turn the bead depth adjustment clockwise until you get the desired bead depth. Now you are
ready to bead roll your panel.
8. If you find that you need to change the direction of the rolls during a bead, release the foot pedal
before changing from forward to reverse.
