OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before starting work,check that the tool
is in good condition and that the rollers
etc, move freely, also familiarise yourself
with all parts, (see Fig.1).
Plan bends first, to ensure all bends are
possible, sometimes it may
be necessary to make
bends and trim to length
afterwards, if available
practice on scrap pieces to
cut down on wastage.
To make a bend, open bender
fully, place the pipe to be bent
into the respective former groove
15 or 22mm, also pipe must pass
under the pipe locator. The
aluminium guide is then positioned
(concave face down) on top of the pipe,
