damage is found, notify carrier at once. Shipping damage is NOT covered by warranty. The carrier is responsible for
all repair or replacement costs resulting from damage in shipment.
IMPORTANT USER SAFETY AND PROTECTION: In setting up systems to fit your operations, care must be taken
to select the proper components and design to insure appropriate integration with your operations and existing
equipment and that all safety measures have been taken to avoid the risk of personal injury and property damage
from your application or system.

in doubt as to the proper safety precautions to be taken in designing and setting up your particular application.
Description
The Cyclone

driven by a 115 volt, 15 amp motor. The roller housing
consists of a single urethane roller and support arm,
also three sets of nylon rollers.
The bender control pendant consists of a zero light, an
override push button and a two-position toggle switch
for "Bend and Return".
An 8-ft electrical cord connects the pendant to the
bender frame.
The bender can be used in a horizontal or
vertical position.
To avoid damaging the bender control circuit, an input
voltage sensing system is built into the control circuit. If
input voltage is less than 92V AC or higher than
132V AC the bender will shut off. One of the two lights
located on the end plate will light to indicate whether
high or low voltage exists.
Re-set the bender by unplugging the power cord, and
plugging it in again. If the incoming current voltage has
not been corrected, the bender will continue to shut off.
The voltage range must be within 92V AC to 132V AC.
Any situation which causes a voltage drop or increase
must be corrected before using the B2000 Bender.
Voltage drops may be caused by:
• Extension cords that are too long.
• Extension cords made of light (16-18 gauge) wire.
• Multiple power tools on a single circuit.
• Other devices which require high amperes to operate.

During pipe bending, stand behind the frame handle. Select an operating area large enough to permit Keep hands, clothing and control cord away from the loading pipe section and bending without striking bending shoe and rollers. objects or personnel. WARNING WARNING Do not locate the bender on damp or wet surfaces. - Page 3 9. Each time a different size and type of conduit is Bend Groove being bent, three facts must be determined and set into the bender shoe control system. The required settings are: conduit size, material and desired bend angle. Prior to setting, be sure the desired size indicator scale is toward the operator and the correct shoe grooves are also toward the operator.
