SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your pipe bender, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of personal injury and / or damage to the bender or
load.
Read all of these instructions before operating the product and save this user man-
ual for future reference.
The product should not be modified or used for any application other than that
for which it was designed.
It was designed for bending steel pipe only, galvanised and black. If you are unsure
of its relative applications do not hesitate to contact us and we will be more than
happy to advise you.
Before operating the product always check no parts are broken, that no oil is leak-
ing and that no parts are missing.
Always operate the product safely and correctly.
KNOW YOUR PIPE BENDER: Read and understand the owner's manual and labels
affixed to the product. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the
potential hazards specific to it.
KEEP CHILDREN AND UNTRAINED PERSONNEL AWAY FROM THE WORK AREA: All
visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the work area; never allow
untrained persons to operate the shop press.
STAY ALERT: Always watch what you are doing and use common sense.
NEVER LEAVE THE BENDER UNATTENDED: When in use / under load.
HAVE YOUR PRODUCT REPAIRED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON: The product is in ac-
cordance with the relevant safety requirements. Repairs should only be carried out
by qualified persons using original spare parts, otherwise this may result in
considerable danger to the user and void the warranty.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS...cont
DANGER! Check that the product is in sound condition and good working order; Take
immediate action to repair or replace damaged parts.
WARNING! Only operate on a level and stable surface and never use on soft ground
where the product is likely to “sink” whilst in operation.
NEVER STAND ON THE PRODUCT: The product is not designed for this purpose.
DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the product, as this may be dangerous and will
invalidate the warranty.
If a problem with the bender is experienced or suspected stop using the product
immediately and contact your distributor for repair.
Do not attempt to press a load that exceeds the rated capacity of the product.
Regularly inspect, clean and lubricate the shop product, ensuring that it is in
good working order and condition.
Always ensure that the work area is clean and tidy, free from unrelated materials and
has adequate lighting.
Keep hands, limbs etc. clear of moving parts during operation of the ram.
DO NOT top-up the bender with brake fluid, or other oil types; use hydraulic oil
only.
DO NOT adjust the safety overload valves.
Clean the product correctly, with the ram in the down position, but DO NOT leave it
extended.
Failure to follow the warnings in this manual, may result in personal injury and/
or property damage.
Prior to applying the load, be sure that the hydraulic ram nut threads are fully en-
gaged to the head assembly.
Components of this shop press are specially designed to withstand the rated capac-
ity. Do not substitute bolts, pins, or any other components.
Always press the load on the centre of the ram. Offset loads can damage the ram,
and may cause a workpiece to eject.
Before operating, check for signs of cracked welds, bent support pins , loose or
missing bolts, or any other structural damage. Do not operate if any of these
conditions exist. Have repairs made only by an authorised service centre / engineer.
Parts being pressed may splinter, shatter or eject from the bender. Due to various
applications, it is your responsibility to always use adequate guards, such as eye
protection and heavy protective clothing, when operating this .
Do not stand in front of work area where the load is applied.

sess, understand and where possible reduce the specific risks and dangers associat-
ed with the operating environment. Bystanders should also be made aware of any
risks associated with the operating environment.
CAUTION: The warnings and cautions mentioned in this user manual can not cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the oper-ator that common
sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this prod-uct, but must be applied.
Danger: Never exceed the maximum capacity of 12 ton, overloading can lead
to personal injury or damage to the pipe bender.
This SIP Pipe Bender is covered by a 2 year parts and labour warranty covering
failure due to manufacturers defects. This does not cover failure due to misuse or

OPERATION
The tool is provided with six Bending Formers.
This enables the following sizes of British Standard Pipe, to BS1387, to be bent to any
angle up to 180 degrees.
1/2 , 3/4, 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2, and 2 inches
Consult the chart below to ensure the correct die for the corresponding pipe is used. If
the wrong former is used, the quality of bend will be severely compromised.
With the pipe resting in the former, and with the ram in its lowest position, (open the
hydraulic valve by turning it anticlockwise), secure the guide rollers in place using the
R Clips (see parts diagram).
ALWAYS ensure the pipe is located securely and square in the die,
Close the hydraulic valve by turning it clockwise fully, then pump the operating lever
gently.
NOTE: For best results, bend the pipe progressively. Set the guide rollers wide apart to
begin with, bringing them closer together as the degree of bend increases.
When completed, open the hydraulic valve. ThIs allows the work to be removed.
To remove the former from the work, a short sharp tap with a hammer and brass drift
should be all that is required. TAKE CARE when removing...NEVER hammer directly on the
edges of the former.

OPERATION...cont
The Hydraulic Pipe Bender is designed for bending STEEL PIPE ONLY, either galvanised or
black finish.
Please familiarise yourself with its operation, so that it may be used properly in order to
provide you with long and satisfactory service.
CAUTION: This bender is not designed to bend thin wall tube - e.g. copper

MAINTENANCE
This tool requires no maintenance except for keeping it clean.
Always visually inspect before each use to ensure no welds are cracked or broken, and
that the tool is in good general condition.
If it is damaged or if in doubt as to its serviceability, consult SIP After Sales -
01509 500400 or your local SIP dstributor.
ALWAYS store the tool with the ram in its lowest position.
Store in an upright position.
Resist from laying the product on its side. This will prevent air entering the system and
the necessity to bleed the ram. Air in the system will result in poor performance.
Bleeding the ram: With the ram in its vertical position, close the release valve at the
base of the ram unit (turn it clockwise), then remove the rubber bung on the upper part
of the cylinder. Pump the handle several times to expel all air, then replace the rubber
bung.
