Operation (cont'd)
ADJUSTING THE SQUEEZE
When bending 1-1/2" to 2" EMT or IMC, the roller
support must be engaged so that it contacts the
conduit; the pressure against the conduit is the
"squeeze."
Due to variations in conduit, the standard adjustment
may provide too much or too little squeeze. If the
conduit develops excessive side marking when bent,
the squeeze is set too high. If the conduit becomes
excessively oval or wrinkled, the squeeze is set too low.
1. Use a screwdriver to loosen the set screws.
2. Use a wrench to rotate both adjusting bolts 1/2 turn
clockwise to INCREASE squeeze or 1/2 turn coun-
terclockwise to DECREASE squeeze.
Note: In order to distribute the load evenly, adjust
both bolts to the same setting. See the illustration.
3. Tighten the set screws.
Trap Plate
Adjusting the Squeeze
Note: The IMC single-shoe roller support has a trap
plate that may require adjustment to allow an increase in
squeeze. Refer to the trap plate adjustment procedures
under "Setup."

ARROW ADJUSTMENT
The arrows on the single shoes can be adjusted to
compensate for variations in conduit.
1. Load the conduit into the proper shoe groove.
2. Press BEND momentarily until the shoe rotates
enough so that the conduit is snug in the hook.
3. Verify that the arrow position is aligned with 0° on
the front protractor scale. If necessary, loosen the
hex head screw and adjust the arrow to align with
0°. Retighten the hex head screw, as shown.
