6. STARTING-UP AND USING THE MACHINE

WARNING: All safety recommendations mentioned in the present manual as well as other standard safety
norms as far as the labour hazards are concerned must be followed.
WHEELWORK: The model STAR-16 does not need any whe

has not bee n expressively indicated is considered abnormal. Any tool or accessory added or amended without written
authorization from the manufacturer is considered inappropriate and dangerous. If any damage or injury is caused as
a result thereof or by misuse of the machine, SIMA S.A. exempts all responsibility as manufacturer. The machine must
be installed on a plane, firm and horizontal surface and the ground should not be soft. This machine DOES NOT HAVE
TO BE USED UNDER THE RAIN. ALWAYS WORK IN WELL ILLUMIINATED AREAS.

6.1 BENDING WITH THE SQUARE

The bending square has been designe
bolts Ø18, Ø24, Ø36, Ø48. These can only be used as central bolt. There is also a fifth bolt Ø25 that needs
always to be mounted with its shell. The latter is limited to be used as a thrust bolt and shell. To start bending,
we will proceed as follows Fig.10.
1. Connect the machine to the electricity and make sure the plate turns clockwise.
2. Mount the supporting square (S) and adjust the separating distance from the ce
the diameter of the bar to be bend.
3. Adjust the distance of the tops (T) d
4. Insert the inversion pivot (P) in one of the exterior holes of the plate depending on the angle we
bend. It is recommended to do some tests before starting the real work to get a better command
of the machine.
5. Place the bar on t
automatically return to its original position without needing to the release the pedal. If for any reason we
happen to release the pedal, the plate will stop and we will have to press the orange button to proceed
bending.
6. If we do n ot get the angel we wish to have, we will have to adjust the angle regulation wheel (R). As such,
we can obtain the exact angle.

BENDING WITH THE STIRRUPS DEVICE

The stirrups device is designed to bend bars u

1. Plug the machine and make sure the bending plate is turning clockwise.
2. Mount the stirrups device (S).
3. Adjust the tops distances (T), d
4. Insert the inversion pivot (P) in one of the exterior holes of the plate, depending on the a
bend. It is recommended to make some test before starting to bend to have a better control of the
machine.
5. Place the b ar and press the pedal. Once the plate has arrived to its end of course, it will go back to its
starting point without having to press the pedal. If for any reason we happen to release the pedal, the plate
will stop and we will have to press the orange button to proceed bending.
