Description
The Cyclone ® , GB model B2000 production bender is
used to bend EMT, IMC, rigid steel or rigid aluminum
conduit. A single bending shoe accommodates sizes
1 ⁄
2
", 3 ⁄
4
", 1", 1 1 ⁄ 4 ", 1 1 ⁄
2
" and 2" conduit. The shoe is
driven by a 115 volt, 15 amp motor. The roller housing
consists of a single urethane roller and support arm,
also three sets of nylon rollers.
The bender control pendant consists of a zero light, an
override push button and a two-position toggle switch
for “Bend and Return”.
An 8-ft electrical cord connects the pendant to the
bender frame.
The bender can be used in a horizontal or
vertical position.
To avoid damaging the bender control circuit, an input
voltage sensing system is built into the control circuit. If
input voltage is less than 92V AC or higher than
132V AC the bender will shut off. One of the two lights
located on the end plate will light to indicate whether
high or low voltage exists.
Re-set the bender by unplugging the power cord, and
plugging it in again. If the incoming current voltage has
not been corrected, the bender will continue to shut off.
The voltage range must be within 92V AC to 132V AC.
Any situation which causes a voltage drop or increase
must be corrected before using the B2000 Bender.
Voltage drops may be caused by:
• Extension cords that are too long.
• Extension cords made of light (16-18 gauge) wire.
• Multiple power tools on a single circuit.
• Other devices which require high amperes to operate.
