Operation (cont'd)
Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry
which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip foot-
wear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering
to contain long hair.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in injury
or property damage.
Refer to the "Identification" section of this manual.
1. Turn on the main power switch (2).
2. Use the BEND or UNLOAD button to
orient the shoe so that the hooks of the
conduit type to be bent are around the
7 o'clock (approximately –5°) position.
(Silver hooks are for EMT; green hooks are
for IMC and rigid.)
The bender automatically stops at the load
position (approximately –5°). To continue
past the load position, release the BEND
or UNLOAD button, and then repress the
BEND or UNLOAD button as needed.
The bender actively prevents operation at certain
angles while the roller supports are up. This is done
to prevent the shoe hooks from damaging the roller
supports. When the roller supports are up and the
hooks are close to or within the roller supports, the
pendant will blink "UP" twice. When the pendant
blinks "UP", the bender can often be moved in the
opposite direction by pressing BEND or UNLOAD.
If the bender will not move in any direction and con-
tinues to blink "UP", then the roller supports must
be fully retracted before the bender will move.
3. Load the conduit so that the bending mark is
aligned with the front edge of the hook.
