8. USE EYE AND EAR PROTECTION. Use a full face mask if the work you are doing produces metal filings, dust or wood chips. Goggles are acceptable in other situations. Wear a clean dust mask if the work creates a lot of fine or coarse dust. When operating for extended periods of time, use approved ear protection. Safety goggles and ear protectors are available from Harbor Freight Tools. 9. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work if possible.
MOUNTING Step 1:Bolt the Slip Roll to a secure work surface using the four holes in the BASE (#25). Step 2:You must purchase your own hardware. Buy four 5/16” bolts, nuts and lock washers, and eight washers. Add 1” to the thickness of your workbench to determine the appropriate length of your bolts. Step 3:Place the Slip Roll in the desired location, making sure that there is enough room for the handle (positioned on the right when looking from the front) to be moved.
ADJUSTMENTS 1. To increase the gap between SHAFT I (#17) and SHAFT II (#18) to allow for varying thickness of materials, screw out the ADJUSTMENT KNOB (#24). To decrease the gap, screw it in. Make sure to adjust both KNOBS an equal amount. See Figure 1. 2. To increase the gap between SHAFT I and SHAFT III (#8) to increase the diameter of your rolls, screw out the ADJUSTMENT KNOB (#4). For smaller diameter rolls, screw the KNOB in. For even rolls, adjust both KNOBS an equal amount.
OPERATION Step 1:Perform all adjustments as required (see ADJUSTMENTS section) depending upon material thickness and whether you are engaging in straight rolls or cones. Step 2:Insert material’s edge between SHAFT I (#17) and SHAFT II (#18). See Figure 3. Step 3:Turn HANDLE (#19) to process material. Step 4:If you are only performing partial rolls and need to remove the material, slide out the SHAFT BUSHING (#11) and pull Shaft I forward. See Figure 4.
Step 5:To form wires, select the smallest groove that you can use and put the edge of that wire on the groove of SHAFT II. Other operations are identical to sheet metal forming. See Figure 5. Step 6:To form rings from wire, process the wire until the end meets the length of the stock. Remove SHAFT I as mentioned above. Cut the stock where the end meets it.
MAINTENANCE Keep rolls free of oil, dirt and grease at all times. Lubricate the gears as necessary by injecting grease through the hole in the OIL CUP (#2). See Figure 6.
