This Conduit Bender comes as one piece. The only additional piece needed is a
threaded 3/4” pipe handle (between 30” and 36” long) not included.
Insert the handle into the proper end of the bender and thread in place securely.
The bender is now ready for use.
operAtion instruCtions
note: Always test your desired bend on a piece of scrap material before attempting on a
workpiece. Bending properly takes a measure of experience. Techniques such as
offset bends and unbending take an exceptional degree of skill and are not covered
in this manual.

For a 90° bend, measure the distance from the object that you start from to the point
you want the radius to end at. Subtract 5” (for 1/2” conduit bender) or 6” (for 3/4”
conduit bender) “take up” distance from this and make the Bend Mark.
For 45° or 30° bend, make the Bend Mark where you want the bend to start. Prac-
tice bends can help you determine how much take up distance different bends
require.

Slide the Conduit Bender onto the piece of conduit you wish to bend and line up
the arrow on the Bender with the Bend mark you made in step 1 or 2, above. Ap-
ply light pressure to the handle and foot pedal and verify that the arrow still aligns
with the Bend Mark.
Apply constant, simultaneous pressure to both the handle and the foot pedal to bend
the conduit. Cast into the surface on the Conduit Bender you will see three different
lines: 30°, 45°, and 90°. When the bend is complete, the line beside the desired
degree of angle will be exactly perpendicular to the piece of conduit on the floor.
note: If simultaneous force is not applied to the handle and the foot pedal, then the conduit
may kink. Do not use a conduit that is kinked or bent too sharply.
