10. Turn the assembled bender onto the cylinder block
so the hitch pin clips and ram scale are facing up
(Fig. 8). The cylinder block is designed to level out
the bender cylinder while bending on the floor.

11. Arrange the shoe between the connecting forks so
the saddle connection is to the left. Align the yoke
with the EMT or IMC/Rigid connection on the shoe
depending on the type of conduit to be bent. Insert
yoke pin through the yoke and shoe until the toggles
fully expand on the other side. (Fig. 9)

12. With the ears turned toward the ram, insert the
"START" end of the follow bar from the right of the
connecting forks over the roller. (Fig. 10)

13. Once the "START" end is past the roller, turn the
follow bar so that the conduit groove is toward the
ram and the follow bar ears touch the ground. (Fig.

For changeover to other shoe groups, remove cyl-
inder block hitch pin clips, as necessary, and insert
into outermost hole of hitch pin (Fig.7). Lift connect-
ing fork enough to allow the follow bar through.
Return the hitch pin clips to the appropriate holes
for bending. Do not bend without the hitch pin clips
installed, poor quality bends and tool damage could
occur.
14. Prepare the conduit by marking the bends following
the instructions in the Bending Basics section of this
manual.
15. Check the conduit, shoe and follow bar grooves
are clean. Debris on the bending surfaces increase
the risk of wrinkling or creasing of conduit and can
cause damage to the grooves in the shoe and follow
bar.
16. Insert the conduit into the bender. Push the conduit
through so the end is past the shoe at least a few
inches.
17. Arrange the saddle around the conduit at the front
of the shoe with the saddle lip facing away from the
follow bar. Insert the Saddle pin all the way through
the shoe and saddle holes until the toggles fully
expand.
18. Adjust the saddle and shoe so the back edge con-
tacts the follow bar. (Fig.12)
19. Adjust the conduit so the appropriate bending
mark is lined up with the saddle lip. See Basics of
Bending for further instructions on marking conduit.
