How to Work on Bending Machines & Press Brakes

I found this interesting article on eHow.com with some step by step instructions on how to operate press brake bending machines risk-free, since they are designed to bend metal using tremendous amounts of pressure.

Here is a summary of the instructions to take care of your bending machines:

• Ensure that the machine is not in repair and is in ready working order.
• Clear the machine of any foreign objects before applying power. Adjust the machine to best fit your ergonomics.
• Wear all required protective gear and use all required safety equipment. If safety equipment is required and is not available, do not use the machine.
• Operate the machine according to use and not for ease.
