4. ASSEMBLY
WARNING! Ensure that you have read and understood Section 1 Safety Instructions before operating the conduit
bender.
WARNING! When the conduit bender is packed in its box it is heavy and may require 2 people to move it.
4.1. Remove the conduit bender from the box and check all parts are present. Refer to fig.1.
4.2. Remove the leg retaining pin (1) and open the conduit bender to its fullest extent. Re-insert the leg retaining pin (1) to lock the leg into
position.
4.3. The vice (6) is secured beneath the platform for transit purposes. Remove the 3 retaining bolts and remove the vice (6). Place it on
top of the platform and bolt into position.
4.4. Remove the bending lever retaining pin (2). Fit the former (9) and roller pin (8) in the appropriate position on the bending lever (7)
(fig.2). Secure the roller pin (8) in place with the R-clip.
4.5. Select the size of former (9) required (fig.2) according to the diameter of conduit to be bent. Withdraw the centre pin (3), insert the
former (9) and replace the centre pin (3).
4.6. Raise the bending lever (7) to the upright position and lock in place with the retaining pin (2). Attach the bending lever extension
(10).
4.7. Swing the stop bar (4) to the upright position and insert the stop piece (5) into the appropriate hole required and secure with the
R-clip. The conduit bender is now ready for use.
5. OPERATION
5.1. Bending steel conduit.
5.1.1. Pass the conduit through the gap between the stop piece (5) and the former (9) and bed it into the former (fig.3).
5.1.2. Check that the free end of the conduit will not foul on the ground when the bend is complete. The maximum length is 1100mm.
5.1.3. 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.
5.1.4. 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.
5.1.5. Load the conduit into the conduit bender as in 5.1.1. 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.
5.2. 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.
5.2.1. Measure from the end of the conduit to the distance required and mark accordingly.
5.2.2. 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).
