Safe Operating Practices; Description And Purpose - Greenlee 777 Instruction Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Pinch points. Keep hands away
from bending shoe, pipe supports,
and conduit when bender is in
use.
Wear eye protection when operating
the bender.
• Make sure all hose fittings are properly seated
before starting a bend. Incomplete connections
may not allow the ram to retract. It is very difficult
to tighten a hose fitting while under pressure.
• Do not stand in direct line with the hydraulic ram.
Failure to observe these warnings can result in
severe personal injury or death.
Description
The 777 Conduit Bender is intended to bend rigid
conduit and Schedule 40 pipe when used with standard
bending shoes. It is intended to bend Schedule 80 pipe
through XX pipe when used with ductile iron bending
shoes.
The bender can accomplish a 90° bend in one shot
when using 1-1/2" - 2" shoes. Segment bending is
required when using 2-1/2" - 4" shoes.
The bender is to be coupled to any Greenlee hydraulic
pump capable of developing 10,000 psi. Suggested
pumps are models 755, 975, 976-22PS, 980, and 960
SAPS.

each use. Replace damaged, worn or missing

• Some of the bender parts and accessories are
heavy and may require more than one person
to lift and assemble.
• Conduit moves rapidly as it is bent. The path of
the conduit must be clear of obstructions. Be
sure clearance is adequate before starting the
bend.
• Do not operate while wearing loose clothing.
Failure to observe these precautions can result
in injury or property damage.
