4. OPERATION
4.1
bending steel conduit.
4.1.1 Pass the conduit through the gap between the stop piece (5) and the
former (9) and bed it into the groove (fig.3).
4.1.2 check that the free end of the conduit will not foul on the ground when
the bend is complete. the maximum length is 1100mm.
4.1.3 attach the bending lever extension (10) to the bending lever. Withdraw
the bending lever retaining pin (2) and pull the bending lever (7) down
until the required bend is achieved.
4.1.4 If the free end is too long to enable the required bend, remove the
conduit, release the bending lever (7) and swing it downwards. swing
the stop bar (4) downwards.
4.1.5 load the conduit into the conduit bender as in 4.1.1. Pull the bending
lever (7) upwards until the required bend is achieved. steady the
conduit puller by placing a foot on the cross member when using this
method.
4.2
bending to outside measurements.
Note! The formers are produced to the exact depth and diameter of
the tube (fig.3) to facilitate bending to given measurements.
4.2.1 measure from the end of the conduit to the distance required and mark
accordingly.
4.2.2 Insert the measured part of the conduit into the conduit bender so that it
rests against the stop piece (5) and beds into the groove of the former
(9).
4.2.3 Place a square or a rule against the mark on the conduit and slide the
conduit along until the square touches the outside edge of the former (9)
(fig.4.a). the conduit is now in the correct position for bending.
Note! before commencing the bend ensure that the conduit is
bedded firmly into the groove in the former (9) otherwise the bend
will be inaccurate.
4.3
bending to inside measurements.
4.3.1 measure from the end of the conduit to the distance required and mark
accordingly.
4.3.2 Insert the measured part of the conduit into the conduit bender so that it
rests against the stop piece (5) and beds into the groove of the former
(9).
4.3.3 Place a square or a rule against the mark on the conduit and slide the
conduit along until the square touches the inside edge of the former (9)
(fig.4.B). the conduit is now in the correct position for bending.
4.4
Measuring from a bend.
Note! Use the method explained above to make a bend at a given
distance from another bend whether in the same or a different
plane.
4.4.1 If the required measurement is from the outside to the outside of the
bends, mark off from the outside of the first bend and square up with the
outside (fig.4.a) of the former (9). If the measurement is from the
outside to the inside of the bends (centre to centre) square up with the
inside of the former (fig 4.B).
4.5
Making offsets.
4.5.1 make the first bend to the required angle. as a guide this should be 45°
for offsets measuring 100mm or more and progressively less as the
offset decreases.
4.5.2 Place the bend in the machine as shown in fig.5. Place a straight edge
against the outer edge of the former (9) and parallel to the bend. adjust
the conduit in the machine until the required measurement is obtained.
Note! The offset will increase as the conduit is pushed to the right
and decrease as the conduit is pushed to the left.
4.5.3 When the conduit is set correctly ensure that it is firmly bedded into the
groove of the former. Bend in the normal way until the bends are
parallel with each other.
5. MAINTENANCE
5.1

5.2

5.3
after use store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
