3. Rotate the bending shoe so that the bend degree pointer is at the minus
ten degree (-10
˚
) position as shown in the figure below.
4. Mark 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 below.
NOTE: Stub-up and offset information can be found on pages 27-30 in this
manual or on the bending instruction decal on top of each bender.
5. 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 below.
6. After consulting the springback chart (found on page 28 in this manual or on
the bender instruction decal on the top of each bender), slide the bend angle
limit switch to the desired degree. See pages 14 and 15 for instructions on
the Bend Angle Limit Switch.
