Use of the Right Angle Bend Attachment
Use the Right Angle attachment instead of the Stop Block when making a right angle or sharp bend in the stock.
The Right Angle Attachment fits on the Compact Bender only one way.
1. Install the Support Pin (5) under the Right Angle attachment. This will raise it up
so that it sits above the Ring Assembly/Die Receiver-see Figure 6.
2. Set the Support Pin into the 3rd hole on the Ring Assembly/Die Receiver (10). Line up the hole in the
top of the Right Angle Bending Attachment (7) with hole #2 in the Ring Assembly Die Receiver (10)
- see Figure F. Insert the Long Hitch Pin (1) through the second hole in the Ring Assembly/
Die Receiver(10) to secure the Right Angle Bending Attachment (7) in place.
Note:
Your workpiece will not need to be clamped when you are using the Right Angle Bending Attachment (7).
3. Mark the stock at the points that you desire to make a bend. Line up the stock so
that the Right Angle Attachment hits directly at the midpoint of your mark.

The Stop and Adjustable Stop Loop
Many times while using the Bender you will need to make repeated bends of the same type and angle. In these
instances, using the Adjustable Stop Loop (#26) or the Stop (#4) will save time and allow for precisely the same bends.
Adjust the Stop and Adjustable Stop Loop with a piece of scrap metal prior to using your actual
workpiece. This will assure accuracy and aid in obtaining ideal placement of the Stop.
Stop
1. Test and decide the amount and distance of Handle rotation to make the desired bend.
2. Place the Stop (4) into the next hole (clockwise) after your rotation is complete.
