OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6.
NOTE: Check the arrow on the rolling shoe carriage to be sure it has not
moved during the bending set up process.
6. Using the Springback Chart for Vertical Scale (see chart below), determine
the height to raise the elevating shoe. As an example, for a 45° bend, add
an additional 5% to the desired offset height. To make a 10", 45° offset,
you would add an additional 5%, which is ½", for a total of 10 ½".

7. Using the drill, raise the
elevating shoe to the height
calculated in step 6. The
rolling shoe will move as
the elevating shoe rises and
create the second bend.
8. To remove the bent conduit,
slightly lower the elevating
shoe to release the tension
on the conduit. Then, pull
the quick release pin and
raise the rolling carriage
block to the open position.
Next, pull the pawl release
and raise the conduit hold
down. Remove the conduit.
NOTE: Be sure to lower the conduit support block and close and secure the
rolling carriage block before setting up the next bend.
NOTE: If the end of the conduit that extends past the conduit hold down is
too high, the conduit hold down screw should be lowered. If it is too
low, the conduit hold down screw should be raised.
