OPERATION

NOTE: Fixed Rigid Rollers (10) should be in the up (engaged)
position during all bends regardless of type or size of conduit 
being bent. 

BENDING

1. When bending 1-1/2", or 2" EMT or IMC, the amount of squeeze  
    applied to the conduit can be adjusted to compensate for conduit 
    variations. The squeeze is adjustable by pulling pin and rotating 
    the Squeeze Adjustment Lever (7) to increase or decrease the 
    amount of tension needed to properly seat the conduit as shown 
    in (Fig 11).
2. Counterclockwise turns of the lever will decrease pressure applied 
    to conduit while clockwise turns of the lever will increase pressure 
    to the conduit.

SQUEEZE ADJUSTMENT

•  Keep hands away from bending shoe, rollers, and conduit when 
    bender is in use.
•  Support conduit when unloading. Conduit can become loose 
    and fall if not properly supported.

FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE WARNINGS COULD 
RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
