Do not use tool as a step or ladder.
• 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.
• Inspect the bender before use. Replace worn,
damaged, or missing parts with Greenlee replace-
ment parts. A damaged or improperly assem-
bled component could break and strike nearby
personnel.
• Set the switches to the appropriate conduit size
and type before bending.
• Select the appropriate shoe groove and support
roller for the type and size of conduit before
bending.
• Do not bend conduit over 93 degrees.
Overbending could result in the other shoe hook
colliding with the conduit.
• Some bender parts and accessories are heavy
and may require more than one person to lift and
assemble.
• Ensure that all bystanders are away from the work
area when operating the bender.
• Ensure that the work area is clean, dry, uncluttered,
and well-lit.
• Use this tool for the manufacturer's intended
purpose only. Use other than that which is
instructed in this manual can result in injury or
property damage.
Failure to observe these precautions may result in
injury or property damage.
