Operation — Installing and Bending Conduit (cont'd)
MANUAL BENDING
Make sure that no angle is set in memory. The memory
is clear if the pendant display shows 00 when BEND,
UNLOAD or JOG are not depressed. If 00 is not
displayed, press CLEAR. [The memory is clear if no
angle is shown in the top row of the terminal display and
is prompting for a bend type]. If an angle of 93 degrees
is reached at any time while pressing BEND or JOG, the
bender will stop to prevent accidentally running a hook
into the conduit. Always use the UNLOAD key to rotate
the shoe to the desired position.
1/2" to 1-1/4" Conduit
Press the BEND key while maintaining conduit align-
ment until slack is taken up. When the conduit starts to
bend, the digital display starts to count from zero and
show the angle to which the conduit has been bent.
The angle displayed has already compensated for
springback. When you reach your desired angle,
release the BEND key. It might be beneficial to stop
slightly before the angle to account for reaction time and
motor braking time and then use the JOG key to
advance the bend in 1/2-degree increments to prevent
overbending.
