1. SAFETY

1.1 General Instructions

• Read and keep the attached safety instructions for the electrical tool.
• Read all instructions and the following recommandations.
• Avoid accidents by using protective equipment such as goggles, gloves, safety shoes, etc.
• Carry the machine using the handle built into the casing, never use the motor handle.
• Put the machine away in its box to transport it and protect it from shocks.
• Never expose the tube bender to the rain.
• Make sure that the capacity of your extension cable is 16 A and that it is always in perfect condition.
• Keep the cable away from moving parts.
• Do not pull on the cable to unplug it.
• Do not drag or carry the tube bender using the cable.
• Stop the tube bender immediately if there are any electrical or mechanical problems.
• Do not take the battery out when bending.
• Do not press on the switch when changing forms or during transport.
• When bending, do not bring your hand close to the form.
• Do not disassemble the tube bender.
1.2 Operating safety
The machine is provided with :
• A pusher switch that stops bending immediately at any time.
2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Electrical connection
Insert the electrical plug into a 230 V, 10 A, 50-60 Hz single phase network protected by a differential circuit
breaker.
2.2 Bending Tube Ø10 to Ø22 : speed : H Tube Ø25 to Ø28 : speed : L
• Disengage the bending mechanism by pushing lever 5 down.
• Place form 6 on the output shaft, search for the indexing position at which hook 7 is placed on the
slide side, by rotating the form manually.
• Position the mating form 8 on its pivot and rotate until the mark corresponding to the tube to be bent
is on the hook side.
• lnsert the tube to be bent in the groove of the form.
• Open hook 7 if necessary to facilitate placement of the tube, and close the hook after placement.
• Bring the mating form into position untilthe tube is moderately tightened by screwing in hand wheel 9.
Very important:
The first mark 6a of the form must correspond to mark 8a on the mating form.
• Press switch 4 to bend, while lifting the mechanism engagement lever 5.
• Control the bending speed from 0 to the maximum by pressing more or less on the switch.
• Marks engraved on the form make it easier to produce the required bending angle. Allow for the
bending speed and the elastic return of the tube.
• Release switch 4 at the end of bending.
• Retract the mating form by unscrewing hand wheel 9.
• Disengage the bending mechanism by pushing lever 5 down.
3. MAINTENANCE
• Frequently check that the cable and the plug are in good condition.
• Remove dust frequently and keep motor and charger aeration openings clean an unobstructed.
• Do not insert sharp objects.
• Compressed air cleans more efficiently.
• Sorne cleaning products and solvants can damage plastic parts.
• Excessive sparks on the commutator are usually a sign of excessive brush wear.
