Contents:
• Pipe Bender • Round Bending Rollers, 6 die sets • Square Bending Rollers, 3 die sets
OPERATION
Numbered references in parenthesis (#1) refer to the included Parts List.
The machine is preassembled except the roller mould sets. Each set has two drive rollers and
one center roller.
PIPE BENDER SET-UP
1. Place the pipe bender on a flat surface that can support the tool.
2. Select the roller set based on the steel tube’s diameter and the thickness (see Pipe/Tube
Thickness Chart).
2.1 Using a mismatched roller size for the pipe can result in a misshapen bend.
3. Mount one of the drive rollers (#27). Ensure the notch in the roller’s opening aligns with the
key on the driving shaft (#23). Push to seat the roller. Screw the round nut (#26) onto the
driving shaft to secure the roller. Repeat with the second drive roller.
4. Mount the last roller onto the center spindle and secure with the remaining round nut.

OPERATING THE PIPE BENDER
1. Plug the machine into the power outlet.
2. Turn the adjustable screw (#18) clockwise to raise the center roller out of the way.
3. Lubricate all three rollers with a little oil where they will touch the pipe.
4. Place the pipe or tube into the grooves of the drive rollers. The pipe’s seam should not align
with the bend direction.
4.1 Some dies have multiple diameter rollers. Ensure you have the pipe aligned with the
matching diameter on each roller.
5. Turn the adjustable screw counterclockwise to lower the center roller onto the pipe. Ensure
it fits into the groove. You may need to adjust the nut and roller to ensure the fit. Do not
tighten fully yet.
6. Pull the pipe through the rollers to the spot where you want the bend to begin.
7. Turn the adjustable screw clockwise to apply pressure to the pipe.
8. Turn the power switch to Forward or Reverse based on the direction you wish to turn the
drive rollers.
• Forward moves the rollers clockwise and the pipe will move from left-to-right.
• Reverse moves the rollers counterclockwise and the pipe will move from right-to-left.
