Saddle Bend
1. Complete an offset bend as previous instructed. Pull the pawl release and
raise the conduit hold down. Next, lower the elevating shoe to the zero (Ø)
position. Rotate the conduit 180° degrees to ensure your two offsets will
be in perfect alignment.
2. Slide the desired length of conduit through the elevating shoe to create
the straight length between the offsets.
3. Return the rolling shoe carriage to the starting position of the offset,
lower the conduit hold down and tighten the screw against the conduit.
Then, raise the elevating shoe to the calculated offset height including the
springback.
4. 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.
Matching Existing Offsets
1. You can match existing offsets without knowing the degree of the bend.
First, measure the center distance on the bends of the existing offset. Set
the arrow on the rolling shoe carriage at that number on the horizontal
scale.
2. To determine the vertical scale calculation, measure the height of the
existing offset. Next, check the springback chart and add the springback
amount to this height.
Multiple Offset Bends
To easily repeat offsets, the Model 754
is equipped with a gauge rod.
1. To set the gauge rod, raise the
elevating shoe to the calculated
height for the first bend.
2. Next, loosen the thumb screw and
raise the gauge rod until the gauge
rod indicator just touches the top of
the elevating shoe carriage
(see drawing). Retighten thumb
screw.
3. Gauge rod is now set for repeat
bends.
