12. Place your foot on the pressure pedal to bring both rollers into contact with the conduit. (The
roller assembly has a stop which limits the travel of the pressure pedal. When the pressure pedal
is touching the stop, the rollers are fully engaged).
13. Before commencing with the bend, press down on the pressure pedal with moderate pressure
(approximately 30-40 lbs of force). If the pressure pedal rotates and fully engages with the stop,
the pressure rollers are too loose and the height of the rollers need to be raised. See section below
titled "Adjusting the 1 ½" & 2" Pressure Rollers". If you can apply moderate downward force on
the pedal and it does not fully engage with the stop, then the rollers are adjusted properly.
14. Start the bend by pushing down on the pressure pedal with moderate pressure. Press and hold
the FWD button on the pendant while maintaining pressure on pedal.
15. As the bend begins, the pressure rollers should "roll in" to the fully engaged position and the
pressure pedal should come into contact with the stop. Once the pressure rollers are fully
engaged, you can remove your foot from the pressure pedal and continue with the bend.
16. Release the FWD button to stop bending.
17. When the bend is complete, press REV to rotate the shoe counter clockwise so that the
conduit loosens from the hook and can be removed from the bender.
18. After the conduit has been removed, press and hold the REV button until the position arrow
is pointing at approximately 5° before the 0° start position.
ADJUSTING THE 1 ½" & 2" PRESSURE ROLLERS
NOTE: PRESSURE ROLLERS ARE NOT USED WITH RIGID CONDUIT
½
When bending 1
" and 2" EMT and IMC conduit, the pressure rollers must be fully engaged so that
they apply the appropriate amount of pressure to the conduit. Because of variations in brands and
construction of conduit, the factory setting for the pressure rollers may need to be adjusted to
provide the right around of pressure on the conduit. If the conduit exhibits excessive side flattening
when bent, the pressure may be set too high. If the conduit becomes kinked or wrinkled, the
pressure may be set too low.
To adjust the roller pressure, do the following:
1. Use a screwdriver to loosen the set screws.
