==Over/Under bending==
 +
If you set the machine to a 90 degree bend and it executes a 92 degree bend, this is called an overbend. The machine is able to account for this. If you happen to have an over/under bend select the OPPOSITE bend and input the amount of the over/under bend.

If a 90 degree input produces a 92 degree bend select 'under bend 2 degrees'

If a 90 degree input produces a 88 degree bend select 'over bend 2 degrees'

After the bend is properly set up in the computer, press the two green buttons simultaneously. This should lower the punch to the safety clearance zone.

Once in this zone insert your material into the machine where you want the bend to be and hold with two hands.

Press the foot pedal twice and be careful not to let the metal hit you while its bending.
