OPERATION
1. Step on the foot pedal to determine the direction Bead Rolls are turning.
Note: The foot pedal controls the speed – variable speed.
2. Release the foot pedal to stop machine.
3. Flip the forward / reverse switch to change bead roll rotation.
Caution: Release the foot pedal to stop the machine before changing from forward
to reverse direction.
Note: Some experimentation will be required to become comfortable with regulating the foot
pedal variable speed and determining the proper bead depth. It is recommended that you
use a scrap piece of the same material you want to bead roll.
4. Place a scrap piece of metal between the open Bead Rolls. Note: Do not start with the rolls
completely closed as you may find that the rolls are too close together and it is difficult to feed
the metal.
5. Turn the Bead Depth Adjuster handle clockwise to lower the upper Bead Roll until the Bead
Rolls contacts the metal.
6. Rotate Bead Depth Adjuster clockwise ½ additional turn to force pressure on metal.
7. Lightly step on the foot pedal and feed the metal between the rolls for approximately 2” of
travel and release the foot pedal to stop machine.
8. Rotate Bead Depth Adjuster another ½” turn clockwise (tighten pressure) and run another 2” of
travel. Continue turning Bead Depth Adjuster in ½” turn increments and run 2” long
increments until you can not turn the Bead Depth Adjuster any further.
Note: This will allow you to determine how many turns on the Bead Depth Adjuster are
required to obtain the desired Bead Pattern depth. Usually 1 to 2 turns will provide the
desired Bead depth.
