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.
