USING THE “AUTO-STOP” DEPTH-OF-BEND FEATURE
The “Auto-Stop” slide pointer is attached to the depth-of-
bend degree plate and stops the radius die at pre-set
bend depths. The “Auto-Stop” feature works with either
the GREEN automatic control button or the remote foot
switches.
To use the three-button automatic controls, follow these
simple instructions.
1. Position the “Auto-Stop” pointer at the desired depth
of bend.
2. Position the tubing at the appropriate bend mark.
3. Check your “circle-of-swing” and prepare to begin
bending.
4. Press the GREEN control button.
5. At this time the radius die will advance until the
desired depth-of-bend is reached. Then, retract to
the original starting position.
6. Be prepared to support the tubing as it is released
from the dies.
CAUTION!
Be alert at all times. NEVER place hands near
bending area or other pinch points
when motor is running.
USING THE REMOTE FOOT SWITCHES - The remote
foot switches are used for manual bending functions.
When using the foot switches for manual operation, it is
best that you position the “Auto-Stop” pointer out of the
way or at 180 degrees so that it does not interfere. If you
want to use the foot pedals in conjunction with the “Auto-
Stop” pointer, position the pointer at the desired bend
depth and proceed by pressing the RIGHT foot switch
until the radius die stops at the pre-set bend angle.
Press the LEFT foot switch to retract the radius die.
Always be prepared to support the pipe as it is released
from the dies.
OPERATING THE MANUAL
KNEE CONTROL
BULLET MODELS
Read the following section completely before attempt-
ing any operation of this unit. All “Blue Bullet” models
are equipped with a hydraulic control valve mounted at
knee height that allows the user to operate the
machine
manually with their leg. A degree plate with pointer is
mounted near the front of the machine that gives the
user accurate bend depths. “Blue Bullet” models are
not equipped with any automatic features.
To operate the manual control valve, move the handle
to the left or the plunger down to advance the radius
die. The handle must be fully engaged to properly con-
trol radius die movement.
To retract the radius die, move the handle to the right
(or plunger up) to return to the original starting position.
Always be prepared to support the pipe as it is
released from the dies.
OPERATION NOTE / BULLET MODELS:
If the operating control handle is pressed half way or
partially down during the bending operation, the radius
die may slow down or even retract slightly. To keep the
bending die at a controlled speed you must fully
depress the valve handle. If you wish to advance the
radius die a few degrees only, instead of easing the
handle down, try “tapping” the handle.
