Squeeze Adjustment; Optional Pvc-Coated Conduit Bending - Greenlee 855GX IntelliBENDER Manual De Instrucciones

Operation (cont'd)

Squeeze Adjustment

Squeeze is factory set and should not normally need to
be adjusted.
When bending 1-1/4", 1-1/2", or 2" EMT or IMC, the
amount of squeeze applied to the conduit can be
adjusted to compensate for conduit variations. The
squeeze is set properly if the support shaft does not
contact the support plates while bending EMT, as
shown by the shaded parts below. The shaft should
not be more than approximately 1/4" (6 mm) above the
lower flat surface.
Squeeze can be checked by loading EMT conduit
and advancing the shoe until conduit starts to bend.
If support shafts touch plates or are more than 1/4"
(6 mm) from plates, unload conduit and adjust squeeze
as described.
• If shaft is touching, increase squeeze.
• If shaft is farther than 1/4" (6 mm), decrease squeeze.
1/4" (6 mm) max. gap between
shaft and top of side plates
To adjust the squeeze:
1. Unplug the bender.
2. Remove screw (refer to illustration below).
3. Rotate the squeeze adjuster:
• If the shaft is contacting the support plates,
increase the squeeze by rotating the squeeze
adjuster clockwise.
• If the shaft is too high above the support plates,
decrease the squeeze by rotating the squeeze
adjuster counterclockwise.
