2. Install the rollers on their support pins at one of the hole positions according
to the extent of the bend required. The tighter the bend, the closer the
rollers will be to the centre of the pipe bender.
3. Secure the roller pins in position
using the R-clips.
4. Choose your die, based on the
chart and set it in position on the
ram.
5. Use the tip of the handle to open
the hydraulic valve by turning it
anticlockwise. (The ram will retract
under spring tension).
• If using for the first time, purge any air
from the ram by opening the
hydraulic valve (turning anti-
clockwise) inserting the handle into
the actuating lever and pumping
several full strokes to eliminate any
air bubbles.
6. Close the hydraulic valve by
turning it clockwise.
7. With the ram in its lowest position
rest your workpiece between the
die and the rollers. Position the
workpiece so that the point of
contact with the die is directly
above the centre of the ram.
8. When satisfied that the workpiece
is correctly positioned and is
completely stable, slowly pump
the handle so that the ram begins
to exert pressure on the workpiece.
9. Continue to pump the handle and
constantly monitor the bending
process.
10. For best results, bend the pipe
progressively. A good technique is
to set the guide rollers wide apart
to begin with, bringing them closer
together as the degree of bend
increases.
