1818 Mechanical Bender

Instructions for Bending:

3/4" – 1" EMT
1/2" – 1-1/4" IMC
1/2" – 1-1/2" Rigid
2" Rigid Aluminum Conduit
For handle use 5' length of 1-1/4" rigid conduit; retain
with set screw.
1. Rotate the ratchet segment counterclockwise to
LOAD position. The friction button will pop out
and retain the segment from rotating in the bend
direction.
Note: The ratchet handle must be rotated to the UP
position to release the lock and drive pawls from the
segment. The segment may require a small amount of
clockwise rotation to release the lock pawl.
Do not leave the ratchet handle in the
UP position when the bender is not in
use. A handle left in the UP position
could fall unexpectedly.
2. Select the correct bending shoe (size and type of
conduit is marked on the shoe).
3. Place the bending shoe on the pivot shaft and align
the drive pin on the segment with the hole in the
shoe. Snap spring clip on pivot shaft.
4. Place the cushion roller on the roller pin and insert
into the proper hole, as indicated by the decal on
the bender frame.
