Maintenance
If motor will not run: Motor could become overheated
due to long repeated usage or severe strain. Allow
motor to cool. If motor still does not run check the fuse.
To avoid possible injury, always unplug the bender
power cord before attempting maintenance work.
Fuse Replacement: The fuse is located behind the
handle mounting plate. Remove the two brackets and
the mounting screws around the plate. Use caution to
avoid dropping the handle. Remove the handle
assembly and circuit control. Set the handle assembly
aside.
The fuse is located in a white bracket in the left corner
of the control panel (figure 11). Remove and replace
with a new 15 amp, 125 volt fuse, part number
E1601000. Connect the power cord and pendant
connectors, install the end plate. Check bender
operation.
For any repair other than above, contact an authorized
GB Technical Service Center.
Angle Adjustment
Two different size indicator scales are mounted on the
shoe outer rim. One for
1
⁄
2
" thru 2" IMC and Rigid, the
other for EMT
1
⁄
2
" thru 2" (figure 12).
Each size indicator is adjustable to compensate for over
long or short bends which may be due to differences in
conduit characteristics or other variations.
Bends which are too long: Loosen the indicator scale
(for type material being bent) mounting screws. Slide
the indicator clockwise as many degrees as the
overbend (if bend is 5˚ over, move indicator 5˚
clockwise). The degree of movement is observed by
watching one of the size marks as it moves past the
angle disc scale. Tighten the mounting screws.
Bends which are too short: Loosen the indicator (for
type material being bent) mounting screws. Slide the
indicator counterclockwise as many degrees as the
bend is short (if bend is 5˚ short move counterclockwise
5˚ ). The degree movement is observed by watching
one of the size marks as it moves past the angle disc
scale. Tighten the mounting screws.
