Machine And Work Area Set-Up

WARNING
Set up the bender and work area according to
these procedures to reduce the risk of injury from
electric shock, machine tipping, crushing and other
causes, and to help prevent bender damage.
1. Locate a work area that has:
• Adequate lighting.
• No flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may
ignite. The equipment is not explosion proof and
can cause sparks.
• Clear level, stable, dry location for all of the equip-
ment and the operator.
• Properly grounded electrical outlet of proper voltage.
If in doubt, have outlet inspected by licensed elec-
trician.
2. Clean the work area before setting up any equip-
ment. Wipe up any oils or liquids. Clear anything
that the pipe could hit during bending.
3. Inspect the pipe to be bent and installation area and
confirm that you have the correct tool and formers for
the job. See the Specifications Section. Do not at -
tempt to bend pipe that exceeds the pipe bender
specifications. This could damage the pipe bender.
4. Confirm that equipment to be used has been properly
inspected.

5. Assembly
All benders should be set up on the floor or other
suitable surface. Bender parts are heavy and awk-
ward. Use appropriate transport and lifting methods.
If using the accessory wheel stand or turnable tripod,
follow instructions for proper set-up.
• Place the bending frame with the hinged side up.
• Insert the end of the cylinder into the opening at the
end of the bending frame. Align the groove on the
cylinder with the back of the bending frame.
• Fully insert the U-bracket through the joint between
the bending frame and the cylinder.
• Place the corner supports on the lower bending
frame over the appropriate holes for the size of
pipe to be bent.
• Insert the pins through the bending frames to retain
the corner supports.
