Operation (cont'd)
ADJUSTING THE SQUEEZE
When bending 1-1/2" to 2" EMT or IMC, the roller
support must be engaged so that it contacts the con-
duit; the pressure against the conduit is the "squeeze."
Due to variations in conduit, the standard adjustment
may provide too much or too little squeeze. If the
conduit develops excessive side marking when bent,
the squeeze is set too high. If the conduit becomes
excessively oval or wrinkled, the squeeze is set too low.
1. Use a screwdriver to loosen the set screws.
2. Use a wrench to rotate both adjusting bolts 1/2 turn
clockwise to INCREASE squeeze or 1/2 turn
counterclockwise to DECREASE squeeze.
Note: In order to distribute the load evenly, adjust
both bolts to the same setting. See the illustration.
3. Tighten the set screws.
