ALIGNMENT
NOTE: The Bead Roller has been factory pre-aligned. However, depending on
use the Bead Roller may eventually require re-alignment. Poor alignment will
affect the quality of metal forming and the ability of the tool to cut sheet metal. If
you experience either of these problems, perform the following alignment steps:
1.

Set up the Bead Roller with Cutting Dies (10-1, 10-2) and Cutting Plates (9) as
shown in the illustration. (See Figure B, next page.)
Inspect the Cutting Plates (9). When the Bead Roller is properly aligned, the

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
2.
CAUTION! Do not exceed the maximum thickness capacity (18 gauge) of
the Bead Roller.
Always use two people to operate the Bead Roller. One person should guide the
metal along the Roller while a second person cranks the Handle (12) of the tool.
Metal forming typically requires good communication between the person
cranking the Handle and the person guiding the metal, particularly on corners.
NOTE: It is recommended to practice all cutting/beading procedures first on
scrap metal. (See Figure F.)
3.
4.
Mark your rib, flange pattern, or cut-line on the workpiece. (See Figure F.)
Insert and guide the workpiece through the Cutting Dies or Flange Dies while
another person cranks the Handle (12) of the tool. (See Figure F.)
5.
When finished using the Bead Roller Kit, make sure to store the tool and its
accessories in a clean, dry, safe location out of reach of children.
