Preparation
Before every use, follow these procedures to set up the slip roll for safe, accurate, and efficient use.
To prepare the slip roll for use:
1.Turn the thickness adjustment knob to lower the bottom roller to approximately 1/4" below the top roller. Use calipers or a spacer to set the distance between the rollers evenly at each end (see Figure 10).

2.Lower the rear roller until it is approximately even with the bottom roller (see Figure 10). Use calipers or a spacer to set the rear roller even with the bottom roller at each end.
Flat Rolling
This slip roll can be used to flat roll sheet metal up to 22 gauge. This can be done to straighten and slightly flatten workpieces.
The main rollers of this machine present a pinch- ing hazard. Make sure no body part or clothing is near the area between the rollers. Failure to follow this warning may result in fin- gers, hair, or clothing being pulled into the machine, causing personal injury.
To flat roll a workpiece:
1.Place the workpiece between the top and bottom rollers, as shown in Figure 11. Turn the thickness adjustment knobs to lift the bottom roller until the workpiece is held snug between the top and bottom rollers. Be sure to turn the thickness adjustment knobs equal amounts.
