Work Instructions - Virax Eurostem III Manuel D'utilisation

IMPORTANT NOTES:
• The temperature of the battery increases when it is used with the machine. If the battery is charged immediately after use, it
will not be fully charged. The battery should be allowed to cool before recharging.
• If the right-hand LED on the charger stays lit in red, remove the battery and before reinserting it, wait for its temperature to
drop between 0°C and 50°C.
• Batteries warm up when being charged. Do not overload the batteries.
• If the right-hand LED on the charger flashes red, the battery is out of service and must be changed.

6 Work instructions

This power tool is supplied by an 18V battery. Radiophonic jamming complies with the Directive on electromagnetic compatibility 2014/30/ЕС.
This power tool has been designed to bend pipes up to 180°. See description of the pipes in the Technical Data section.
Use : (Visuals on pages 6 and 7)
1 - Insert the battery (13) until you hear the locking button (1) click.
2 - Place the bending form (9) and the counter-form (11) corresponding to the Ø of the pipe to be bent.
3 - Place the pipe to be bent in the groove of the bending form (9). If necessary, open the form hook (10) to make it easier
to place. Move the counter-form (11) with the tightening wheel (5) until the pipe is moderately tightened.
Beware finger crushing.
The 0° mark of the form (9) must be aligned with the mark of the counter-form (11).
4 - Engage the clutch by positioning the lever (6) up. Make sure the reversing switch (3) is downwards (clockwise rotation
of the form).
Before starting the bending process, make sure the pipe is correctly positioned in the form (9) and in contact with
the entire surface of the counter form (11).
5 - Press the trigger (2) to start bending.
Beware finger crushing.
Maintain until the desired bending angle is achieved by aligning the graduation marks of the form (9) with the mark of the
counter form (11).
Consider the elasticity of the pipe to be bent.
6 - Loosen the pipe with the counter-form tightening wheel (5) sufficiently to be able to extract the pipe. If necessary, open
the form hook (10) to make it easier to remove the pipe. Take out the pipe.
7 - To return the bending form (9) to its initial position, disengage the bending machine by positioning the clutch lever (6)
down. Manually return the bending form (9) to its initial position at 0°.
Note: You can also use the motorized reverse (by placing the reversing switch (3) down for clockwise rotation of the
form), but this is slower and consumes battery power.
Tips:
When bending a long length of pipe, it is recommended to support the end of the pipe with a tripod.
For repeated optimal bending of large diameter pipes, the use of a 4.0 Ah battery (Ref. 253541) is recommended.
Do not bend more than 180°, otherwise it will not be possible to extract the pipe from the form.
For working at ground level, use the optional tripod, Ref. 251809. The machine can be placed in a horizontal or vertical
position depending on the size and orientation of the pipe to be bent.
Make sure there is enough space for the pipe rotation before starting the bending.
Disconnect the battery from the machine before storing it in the Virabox.
