Using this Baileigh slip roller is easy. First, make sure it's connected to a 220 - volt single - phase power supply. Place the material you want to roll between the rolls. You can use the foot pedal for left or right rolling, which gives you better control. When rolling wire or rod, use the three grooves provided. Remember, this roller can handle 16 - gauge mild steel easily. For safety, always use the integrated emergency stops if something goes wrong. When it comes to maintenance, keep the machine clean and check the alignment of the rolls regularly. The all - steel lower base is very sturdy, but still, make sure the welds are in good condition. If you have any issues, refer to the 1 - year parts warranty for support.
