How to Use
the Mechanical
Sidewinder ® Benders
Monthly lubrication of the ratchet assembly, frame pivot tube, and roller
shaft will result in easier operation. Also a light oil film in the frame roller
and ratchet assembly mounting holes will retard corrosion and result in
easier removal and installation of components.
Kick Bend Instructions
1. Use chart on page 41 applicable to size of EMT or rigid
conduit used.
2. Using desired kick dimension in (H) column, obtain measurement
(M) under the angle of bend desired, according to the type
of conduit used.
3. Mark off measurement (M) on EMT or rigid conduit as illustrated.
4. Place in bender so mark aligns with forward edge of bending shoe.
5. Proceed to bend, reading angle on indicator — allowing
for springback.
