Never operate this Bender in an explosive atmosphere.
Injury or Death may occur.
1. Be sure to match the appropriate shoe with its
corresponding support unit. Attach the support using the
hinge pin. See Figure 12.
2. Mark pipe or conduit at desired length.
NOTE: A 2'' minimum dimension is required to eliminate
flattening the end of the pipe/conduit. See Figure 13.
NOTE: Stub-Up and offset dimensions can be found on the
Bending Charts on Pages 8 to 9 of this manual or on the
bending instructions decal on top of each Bender.
3. Rotate the bending shoe 5 to 10 degrees below the 0
(zero) degree setting, as shown in Figure 14. Place
Bending mark in line with front edge of shoe hook.
4. After marking the pipe/conduit, place it into the bender.
See Figure 14. The pipe/conduit should slide over the
correct size support unit, through the shoe groove and into
the hook. The Bending mark should be at the front
(OUTSIDE) edge of the hook. See Figure 14.
5. Using the remote hand unit (pendant) place the
“Bend/Unload” switch in the “bend” position. Press the
“Jog” button and advance the Bender. Be sure to check the
alignment of the bending mark as the rotating shoe locks
the pipe/conduit into position. Advance the Bender shoe to
the desired degree of bend. When the pointer on the shoe
reaches the desired degree of bend, release the “Jog”
button and the Bender will stop. See Figure 15.
NOTE: Due to springback in pipe/conduit, some over bending
is necessary to achieve the desired degree of bend. See page
8 and 9, or the bending instruction decal on the top of each
Bender for approximate springback compensation figures.
6. To release the pipe/conduit, place the “Bend/Unload”
switch in the “Unload” position. Press the “Jog” button and
reverse the shoe far enough to stop and drop the support
unit. See Figure 15. The pipe/conduit can now be removed.
NOTE: The pipe/conduit should be under control
when unloading.
Failure to return to zero to remove conduit may result in
injury or Death.
