INSTRUCTIONS FOR FORMING TEST PIECE
In order to gain familiarity with your machine and the type of opera-
tions that can be performed with it, it is recommended that a test -
piece be formed as described below:
1. Select a piece of 0.8 mm thick mild steel or aluminium sheet and
cut it to 335 x 200 mm.
2. Mark lines on the sheet as shown below:
3. Align Bend 1 and form a lip on the edge of the workpiece. (See
"FOLDED LIP")
4. Turn the test piece over and slide it under the clampbar, leaving
the folded edge towards you. Tilt the clampbar forward and line
up Bend 2. Make this bend to 90°. The test piece should now
look like this:
