The Eastwood High-Capacity Tubing Bender consists of moderately heavy metal components which can present a hand/finger pinch hazard
and cause potentially serious injuries if dropped on feet. Avoid pinching hands while handling parts during assembly and wear thick, well fitting
work gloves to prevent cuts from handling sharp metal. The use of safety shoes is strongly recommended.

1. Lay the Lower Frame Plate (a) on a clean, level work surface.
notE: The Lower Frame Plate has two M8 tapped holes which must be
placed downward toward the work surface (Fig 1).

Lower Frame Plate (a) and the Upper Frame Plate (b) for temporary support.
3. Find the two 18mm bolt/washer/Frame Spacer/nut assemblies and disas-
semble them. Place the two Ø 1" x 4" [Ø 26mm x 102mm] Frame Spacers (C)
between the Lower Frame Plate and the Upper Frame Plate (Fig 2).
4. Place an M18 x 120mm Bolt (d) with 18mm washer (E) through the 19mm
hole in the Upper Frame Plate, Frame Spacer and Lower Frame Plate. Place
an 18mm washer (E) over the bolt and thread on the M18 locknut (F) leaving
