Tool elements
Proper use:
The tool is used for bending initially flat sheets in the material thicknesses described on the first
page. This is achieved by moving the tool along the material using manual force and back and
forth movements. Improper use and handling can create hazards and cause damage.
Operation method EcO- & Duo-EcO-Bender:
1) Unlock the set screw and adjust the desired bending height by using the integrated
measuring scale and lock it with the set screw.
2) Place the metal between the bending rolls. The single roller is on
top and shows in the bending direction (bending edge), the other
three rollers carry the force to bend up.
3) First pass: Hold the bender in the most convenient way for you.
Move the bender forwards and backwards and push up at an ang-
le of 10-25°. The pressure should be held on the middle of the
bending rolls and always move bender all to way to the edges.
Depending on the material characteristics, proceed in the following way:
4) Move bender back at an angle of 20-45°.
5) Move bender forward at an angle of 60°.
6) Continue to move bender forthwards and backwards by pushing slightly up
until the requested angle (max. 120°) is reached.
If necessary, depending on the material characteristics, repeat movement more
often and in smaller steps.
O-handle:
The O-handle enables the full usage even when leverage
is entirely extended. Three ergonomic grip positions.
Adapter set:
Two Supra-Benders can be connected by an adapter. This makes bending even
easier when working on long and straight sheets. If working on shorter and more
curvy sheets, it may be helpfull to detach the Duo-Bender into two Supra-Benders.
Attention:
Due to the smallest bending height of 30 mm standing seam profiles cannot be
produced. For this we recommend the DRÄCO EcO-Bender4 (max. 100 °), or
alternatively the DRÄCO Mini-Bender4 (max. 100 °).
