Setup (cont'd)
Adjusting the Jackscrews
The bender is equipped with four jackscrews that can
be raised or lowered using the 5/16" T-handle Allen
wrench provided with the bender.
Retract the jackscrews when transporting the bender.
Lower at least two jackscrews to prevent the unit from
rolling when bending. If desired, level the unit with all
four jackscrews.
Using the Optional Kickstand
Lower the kickstand to temporarily prevent the bender
from moving.
To lower the kickstand:
1. Apply foot pressure to the lever above the stand
until it contacts the ground.
2. Push the bender away from you until it rolls up onto
the kickstand.
To take the bender off the kickstand:
1. Apply foot pressure to the lever below the crossbar.
2. Pull the bender toward you until it rolls off the
kickstand.

Pivoting the Bending Head
• Do not rotate the bending head if one or more of
the bending shoes is removed.
• The bender head pivot lock must be fully engaged
in the frame hole and fully turned in the counter-
clockwise direction.
Failure to observe these warnings could cause the
bending head to move rapidly in an unexpected
direction, resulting in severe injury or death.
The bending head can be rotated into three positions:
• Vertical
• Horizontal, 1/2" to 1-1/4" shoe facing up
• Horizontal, 1-1/2" to 2" shoe facing up
To change the bending head position:
1. Rotate the bender head pivot lock knob clockwise
until it contacts the bending head.
2. Pull out the bender head pivot lock knob.
3. Pivot the bending head to the desired position.
4. Release the bender head pivot lock knob so that the
pin is fully engaged in the frame hole.
5. Turn the pivot lock knob counterclockwise until
there is resistance. Do not overtighten.
Connecting the Standard or Deluxe Pendant
Do not connect or disconnect the pendant while the
power is on, or permanent damage to the pendant or
bender circuitry may result.
Remove the pendant control from its storage area, and
plug it into the four-pin receptacle on the side of the
bending head.
