Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup requires securely bolting the YP-9 to a stable, level workbench using the four provided mounting holes; using undersized screws or mounting to unstable surfaces will compromise performance. The tool is specifically compatible with mild steel within the 5/16 inch thickness limit. To maintain the equipment, clean the dies and the bending surface after every use to prevent debris buildup. Periodically apply a light coating of machine oil to the pivot points to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust. Always verify the material width before starting a project, ensuring it does not exceed the 1-15/16 inch capacity.
