Pipe with thicker walls and/or high hardness (over

75 HRb)/strength (over 66 ksi (455 MPa) Tensile) may not

be able to be bent. Pipe with comparable outside diam-

eter and wall thickness to the pipes listed may be able

to be bent depending on pipe material characteristics.

Pipe with thinner walls can be bent but may experience

issues with kinking or buckling in the bend area.

Hydraulic benders use high pressure fluid to

generate large forces. High pressure fluid can

penetrate skin. Large forces can break and

throw parts, causing serious injury. Stand clear

of the unit during use and always wear appropri-

ate protective equipment, including eye protec-

tion.

One person must control the work process

and machine operation. Only the operator

should be in the work area when the machine

is operating. This helps reduce the risk of injury.

Read and understand this manual, and the

warnings and instructions for all equipment

being used with this tool before operating.

Failure to follow all warnings and instructions

may result in property damage and/or serious

injury

Use the Hydraulic Pipe Bender only with

RIDGID Hydraulic Pipe Bender attachments

as directed in these instructions. Other uses or

modifying the Hydraulic Pipe Benders may dam-

age the tool, the attachments or cause personal

injury.

The EC Declaration of Conformity (890-011-320.10) will
