2. Use the Manual Bender Buttons (4) on front of bender or the
Hand Pendent (12) to orient the shoe so that the hooks of the
conduit type to be bent are at the 7 o’clock (approximately –5°)
position on the analog protractor.
3. Ensure proper orientation of the Bending Shoe (1) by
positioning the Gray hooks at the 7 o’clock position for EMT
conduit or the Black hooks at the 7 o’clock position for IMC and
GRC conduit.
4. Load the conduit into the appropriate sized Fixed Rigid Roller (10)
and groove (Fig 12) so that the bending mark is aligned with the
front edge of the hook as shown in (Fig 13).
5. Bending the conduit.

DEDUCT CALCULATIONS
Note: Test bends should be performed to ensure proper conduit
squeeze is set. Minor adjustments may be required.
To adjust the conduit squeeze pressure, refer to section labeled
“SQUEEZE ADJUSTMENT”.

A. While bending ¾” through 2” EMT, IMC, or GRC conduit,
ensure the Fixed Rigid Rollers (10) are in the upright
position, as shown in (Fig 14 and 15). Fixed Rigid Rollers
(10) should only be “DOWN” position to help in unloading of
the conduit after a bend has been completed. Return Fixed
Rigid Rollers (10) to the “UP” position once conduit has
been removed in preparation for next bend.
B. When bending 1-1/2" and 2" EMT or IMC conduit, use the
1-1/2”-2” EMT/IMC Roller (9) by turning the assembly to
reflect “E” for EMT or “I” for IMC. Roller Assembly Lock
Handle (8) may have to be pulled to the left to allow roller
assembly to be rotated (Fig 16). Once properly selected,
raise the rollers from the retracted position to the upright
(engaged) position by rotating the Roller Assembly Lock
Handle (8) counter clockwise to lock and secure conduit in
place, as shown in (Fig 17). Slight pressure to handle may
be required at the start of the bend. Handle should lock into
place once bending shoe starts to rotate.
