Pivot Link Assembly
TO TEST
Cut some narrow strips of aluminum or use
strips from stock you will be using and lock
one under each shoe casting as indicated
above. Then lightly pull the material to
determine the tightness and uniformity
of each Pivot Link. If the material can be
moved when the MX handle is locked or if
it requires excessive pressure to lock the
handle down on the material then the Pivot
Arms may need adjustment.
NOTE: All adjustments are made with the
MX Series™Brake in the “open" position.
All adjustments are tested with strips of
material placed in the MX Series™Brake in
the “locked" position.
TO ADJUST
Insert the 3/16" hex wrench into the Pivot
Link Stud through the access hole in the
upper link. Turn 1/4 turn either COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE to INCREASE locking tension
or CLOCKWISE to DECREASE locking
tension.
Repeat test step above to check tension.
TO ADJUST (Optional method)-
As an alternate method you may use a 5/8"
open-end wrench directly on the Pivot Link
Stud by turning 1/4 turn either COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE to INCREASE locking tension
or CLOCKWISE to DECREASE locking
tension.
Repeat test step above to check tension.
IMPORTANT: The Pivot Links on your MX Industrial Brake have been pre-set at the factory for average holding capacity and ease of
operation. However, it's important that you readjust your MX Industrial Brake to your stock thickness. Your MX Series™ Brake may
also need periodic adjustment due to extreme weather and/or working conditions. It is important that you follow these steps when you
adjust your MX Series™ Brake to ensure proper gripping tension and maximum performance.
First check the uniformity of the clamping pressure along the entire length of your MX Series™Brake by using the following method.

Setup for Adjustable MAX Cut-Off
3. Secure the tape measures in place
by “punching" down the edge of the
pivot arm onto the tape measure. Use a
standard nail set or punch.
IMPORTANT! Read this safety information before using product.
1. Always keep hands and fingers clear of the knives during all phases of use.
2. If using both hands to push tool through material, ensure hands are not in the path of
the exiting material as it leaves the rear area of the tool.
3. Remove cut-off from anvil prior to bending material. Failure to do so can cause the
tool to fall from brake resulting in tool damage or personal injury to user.
4. Never use tool to cut material not firmly clamped in brake.
LIST OF PARTS:
(1) Adjustable MAX Cut-Off
(2) MX Material Stop Kit #14485

edge and the shear point of Cut-Off for
accurate cuts.
2. Slide material stop onto Pivot Arms
from rear as shown.
Note: Recommended locations are on
the second castings in from each end
