or marks. |
| Make sure to keep fingers and other body-parts clear from the bending area when performing a test. |
 |
- Position the apparatus such that the fixation clamp (1) are facing forward.
- Loosen the fixation clamp and move the bending-handle (2) in the direction of the arrow so it is positioned at the side as the fixation clamp.
- Position the test panel with the coating facing forward (direction of operator) between the conical mandrel and the steel bending bar so that the panel can be secured in place with the clamping device (3) and tighten it with the clamp.
- Now slowly move the bending-handle (2) to the other side of the apparatus thus bending the test panel over the conical mandrel.
- Visually observe the test panel and check for cracks. If any have occurred note the diameter (3) of the beginning and end of the crack.
- Loosen fixation clamp (1) and remove test panel.
