INITIAL START-UP OF NEW
MACHINES
....... -------IMPORTANT ---------a
A CINCINNATI INCORPORATED Service Repre-
sentative should be present during the initial
start-up of your Press Brake. Before starting
the drive motor the following checks should be
made.
A. Installation has been completed per the instructions
given in Section 1 of this manual including:
Foundation
Cleaning
Leveling
Initial lubrication (including oil level and water in
the tank)
Electrical connections and service
B. All options have been installed on the machine.

C. The tilt limit switches should be properly adjusted
with the ram and bed parallel (see Section 6 -
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT).
D. A complete visual inspection of the machine has been
made.
For the initial start-up of the press brake the main drive
motor should be jogged with the START and STOP buttons
to verify that the direction of its rotation agrees with the
arrow. After this has been done
t
the START button can
be depressed bringing the motor and pump up to full
speed.
Before cycling the ram, a final check of the machine level
should be made and adjusted as described in Section 1 -
INSTALLATION.
Although the operating pressures (main relief and counter-
balance) have. been factory set, they should -now be
rechecked and adjusted if necessary, before further
stroking of the machine. Detailed instructions for setting
these pressures are given in Section 6 of this manual.
All controls, electrical functions, and safety features of the
press brake should now be checked for satisfactory
operation.
Check the level of the bed and ram with a dial indicator as
described in Section 6 of this manual.
Before installing tooling and attempting to make bends,
Section 5 - KNOWING YOUR PRESS BRAKE of this manual
should be read and thoroughly understood.
DAILY START-UP
At beginning of a new shUt, after every break
t
at start of
a new job ,or when machine is started after an extended
off period (several hours or longer) t the following
procedure is recommended:
1. Check reservoir oil level.
2. Let the pump idle for 10 to 15 minutes to warm the
oil.
3. Check controls for proper operation.
4. Verify that all required safety devices and procedures
are being used and are operating properly.
5. Verify that all selectable or adjustable controls are
positioned correctly for the set-up or job to be run.
NOTE: Before the main drive motor can be started,
the main console OPERATION switch must be
turned to "RESET" and back to the "ON"
position. An illuminated READY light indicates
that the motor will start when the START
button is depressed .
The most common reason for inability to start
the main motor is that the ram. has tilted
beyond its limits or that the tilt limit switches
are improperly set. See Section 6 of this
manual for releveling the ram and adjusting
the tilt limit switches.
6. Check for tools, loose material or persons in point-of-
operation or at rear of machine.
7. Know the machine. Thoroughly read this manual and
become . familiar with all of the controls and how they
affect ram motion. Run the machine without tooling
and become familiar with its Ufeel".
8. Be safety conscious. Always follow the safety pre-
cau tions outlined in this manual.
9. Select proper tooling for the job. Make sure the dies
are in good condition.
10. Never place any part of your body in the die area.
