Lowers rolls and turns nuts or handwheel to lock roll into machine, and to adjust to thickness of metal if operating block (pinch) roll. Turns handwheel to adjust roll to set degree of curvature of initial pass. Starts machine and sets feed speed of workpiece back and forth between rolls. Adjusts roll between each pass to form workpiece into specified shape. Hammers workpiece to align it between rolls. Measures arcs with template. May set adjustment roll at angle to form conical shapes. May adjust roll to straighten warped or bent bars or plates [STRAIGHTENING-ROLL OPERATOR (any industry)]. May preheat metal, using hand torch or heating furnace. May prebend heavy metal or bars, using bull press or bulldozer [BULLDOZER OPERATOR (any industry) I].
