Making Fine-Tune Adjustments Your Van Mark brake has been pre-adjusted at the factory for optimum performance. Should you want to Fine-Tune your machine, follow the basic steps outlined below. Instructions for Making Basic Shapes The shapes below are based on common profiles used on many job sites. The exact measurements of each bend may vary from job to job, trim piece to trim piece. We recommend making practice bends with scrap until satisfied with results. Screw STEP 1. Cut 4 inch square samples of material you want to adjust your brake to bend (1 for each casting). Wedge STEP 2. Insert 2 inches of the samples into the mouth of the brake at each casting. Lock brake. STEP 3. Attempt to pull each sample straight out and determine through feel that each one is held with equal pressure. If you can pull a sample out, that casting requires adjustment. STEP 4. To make adjustment, open brake and loosen screw. Slide wedge toward back of brake an 1/8 inch then re-tighten and retest. Repeat step until desired locking pressure is achieved.
