OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS — MECHANICAL BENDER
1. Locate the Mechanical Bender on a firm, level surface.
2. Place the ratchet arm in the up position. This will release the ratchet pawl.
Rotate the bending shoe until the conduit hook for the size and type of
conduit you are bending is at approximately the 6 o'clock position. (See
Figure 5b).
NOTE: The bending shoe hooks are color coded. The blue hook is for Rigid/
IMC conduit and schedule 40 pipe. The silver hook is for EMT conduit.
3. Mark the conduit to desired length. Note that a minimum of 2" from the
end of the conduit to the front edge of the hook is required to eliminate
flattening the end of the conduit. See Figure 5b.
NOTE: Stub-up and offset information can be found on pages 7, 9 and 10
in this manual.
4. Place conduit into the bender. The conduit should slide over the roller
support, through the shoe groove and into the hook. The bending mark
should be at the front (outside) edge of the hook. See Figure 5b.
5. Cut a 4' length of 1" RIGID conduit and insert it into the ratchet arm as
shown in Figure 5a. This will serve as the ratchet handle.
