Gasman, while I'm not very familar with this model brake, I think in your 4th (last)picture, those holes at the handle end are for pre-set bend angles (30, 60, 90, 120). Put a good fitting pin in one of the holes and the handle willl always stop at the same bend angle everytime.

Here is a link with manuals for various Di-Acro machines.

Your particular size machine is no longer made, but the most similar is the 24" and 36" finger brake.
