If your chosen shoe is not on the front
nose of the bender, you must remove both
shoes and switch their positions.
NOTE: Both shoes are retained by spring
loaded pawls. Press down on the
spring loaded retainer pawls to
remove both shoes (see photo at
right).
2. Place the shoe you are not using onto the
spare shoe tube located on the rear of the bender.
3. Next, you must rotate the bend degree pointer for the size shoe you have
chosen to the minus ten degree (-10
˚
) position. To do this set the switch
on the pendant to the "UNLOAD" position. Then press the "JOG" button
and rotate the bend degree pointer that matches the size shoe you have
chosen until it is at the minus ten degree (-10
˚
) position. (See photos
below).
NOTE: Because the pointer will only activate the Bend Angle Limit Switch
and Stop Switch in the clockwise direction, be sure to rotate the
pointer in the counter-clockwise direction when positioning the
pointer.
