Bend Angles Greater Than 90°
1. Follow the procedure above to create a 90° bend.
2. Pull the red indexing trigger toward the grip until the
handle releases then swing the handle up until it locks
into the new position. (See Figure# 11)
7. Align the vertex mark with the alignment mark that
corresponds to the bend angle. For 90° bends align the
vertex mark under the "L" as shown in Figure #8.
8. Push the tube latch firmly over the tube to secure the
tube in the bender die. Note: Excessive pressure on the
tube latch may damage soft tubing.
9. Pull the indexing handle down until the 0 reaches the
desired bend angle. Relax the pressure on the handle and
check the angle. In many cases, the tubing will spring
back 2-3 degrees. It might be necessary to bend the tube
slightly past the planned angle to compensate for spring
back.
