• Hydraulic benders use high pressure fluid to
generate large forces. High pressure fluid can
penetrate skin. Large forces can break and
throw parts, causing serious injury. Stand clear
of the unit during use and always wear appropri-
ate protective equipment, including eye protec-
tion.
• One person must control the work process
and machine operation. Only the operator
should be in the work area when the machine
is operating. This helps reduce the risk of injury.
• Read and understand this manual, and the
warnings and instructions for all equipment
being used with this tool before operating.
Failure to follow all warnings and instructions
may result in property damage and/or serious
injury
• Use the Hydraulic Pipe Bender only with
RIDGID Hydraulic Pipe Bender attachments
as directed in these instructions. Other uses or
modifying the Hydraulic Pipe Benders may dam-
age the tool, the attachments or cause personal
injury.
The EC Declaration of Conformity (890-011-320.10) will
accompany this manual as a separate booklet when re-
quired.

Hydraulic Pipe Bender
Pipe with thicker walls and/or high hardness (over
75 HRb)/strength (over 66 ksi (455 MPa) Tensile) may not
be able to be bent. Pipe with comparable outside diam-
eter and wall thickness to the pipes listed may be able
to be bent depending on pipe material characteristics.
Pipe with thinner walls can be bent but may experience
issues with kinking or buckling in the bend area.
