Tool Set-Up* & Operation
•
Do not stand in a direct line with the follow
bar, hydraulic ram or conduit while bending.
The bender is under high pressure during use
and has the potential to break and throw parts,
causing serious injury.
Keep your fingers, hands, and other body
•
parts away from bender, attachments, conduit
and moving parts. Body parts can be struck,
crushed, fractured, or amputated if they become
caught between the attachment or between these
components and any other object.
•
Do not bend Aluminum EMT. Conduit may
break causing serious injury.
•
Some parts and accessories of this tool are
heavy. Use proper lifting techniques to reduce
the risk of injury.
•
Use proper combination of accessories for the
specific conduit size. Bends will be incorrect
and injury or damage to the tool could result.
•
Proper set up is essential to minimize risk
during use. Set up the tool and work area
according to these procedures to reduce the risk
of injury.
• 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.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
•
common sense when operating the bender. Do
not use the bender while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
•
High pressure oil easily punctures skin,
causing serious injury, gangrene, or death. Do
not use hands to check for leaks. Stay away
from pressurized components. Depressurize
hydraulic system before touching the hose/
attachments. If injured, seek medical help
immediately to remove oil.

Cam Track® Hydraulic Bender
When the 881 bending is to be operated of the floor,
follow these steps for set up and operation. See Mobile
Bending Table for 881 Hydraulic Bender instruction
manual for MBT mounting and operation information.
1. Check work area for:
•
Adequate lighting
•
A clear, level, stable and dry place for all
equipment and space for the operator to work
comfortably and according to tool operating
instructions to reduce the risk of injury.
•
A clearly marked or easily recognizable work
site to prevent people from coming into the area
while the tool is being used. Barriers or cones
around work sites are ways to do this.
2. Inspect the work to be done. Determine what shoe,
follow bar, and saddle are needed for the conduit
size and type. Not using the correct shoe, follow
bar and saddle produces poor quality bends and
increases the risk of tool damage and injury.
3. Confirm all related equipment has been inspected.
4. Attach the roller unit to the single prong ends of the
connecting forks, with decals and markings facing
out, and secure with the hitch pin clips. (Fig. 2)
5. Position the cylinder block so the ram scale is
toward the floor then slide the ram in between the
connecting forks. (Fig. 3)
