WARNING! To avoid serious injury do not operate the bender unless it is securely mounted to the floor or workbench.

3.1.

Attach the ring/loop assembly to the floor stand or bench stand as indicated in fig.1.

3.1.1

Attach the loop end first by placing the long spacer (1) into the loop. Place a flat washer (3) over the bolt (2) and insert the bolt

through the loop and long spacer. Insert the protruding bolt into the mounting plate at the top of the stand ensuring that there is a

short spacer (6) sandwiched between the loop and the mounting plate. Secure with a lock washer (7) and a nut (8).

3.1.2

Attach the ring end to the stand in the two places indicated using the two 3/8” bolts with countersunk heads (5). Ensure that there is a

short spacer (6) inserted between the ring and the mounting plate through which each bolt passes. Place a flat washer and a lock

washer over each bolt and secure with a lock nut.

3.2

Attach the handle to the ring/loop as indicated in fig.2.

3.2.1

Insert the loop end of the handle inside the loop of the ring/loop assembly and secure it with one of the two longer hinge pins. The

hole selected on the handle loop will depend on the type of bend to be done. (See section 4)

3.3

Extend the handle to its full length. (See fig.2)

3.3.1

Remove the hair clip from the handle pin, then remove the pin from the handle. Pull the extension arm out of the handle tube and

align the hole at the end of the extension with the hole in the handle tube. Reinsert the pin and retain it by reinstalling the hairclip.

3.4

Fix the assembled unit to the floor or bench as appropriate.

3.4.1

Place the bender in the position where you intend to use it and rotate the handle fully in both directions to ensure that there will be no

obstructions during bending. The bender must be attached to a bench or floor using fixings which are strong enough to resist the

turning force exerted on them. Similarly the structure of the bench or floor surface must also be

sound and strong enough to resist the turning force exerted through the fixings.

3 Wear safety goggles and gloves when bending parts.

3 Always allow enough material to extend beyond the stop block

and forming dies when making bends to ensure that the material

does not come free allowing the handle to release suddenly.

7 DO NOT bend any material other than hot rolled mild steel.

7 DO NOT operate the metal bender if damaged.

7 DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the bender.

7 DO NOT use the metal bender for purposes other than that

for which it is intended.

7 DO NOT try to bend round stock using the sharp angle attachment.

7 DO NOT modify the bender in any way or use a handle extension

other than the one provided.

7 DO NOT try to bend material larger than the maximum sizes

stipulated below.
