Hydraulic Pipe Bender
• Pipe moves during bending and can cause striking
or crushing injuries. Be sure there is adequate clear-
ance around the pipe before bending.
• Hydraulic benders use high pressure fluid to gen-
erate large forces. High pressure fluid can pene-
trate skin. Large forces can break and throw parts,
causing serious injury. Stand clear of the unit during
use and always wear appropriate protective equip-
ment, including eye protection.
• 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 warn-
ings and instructions for all equipment being used
with this tool before operating. Failure to follow all
warnings and instructions may result in property dam-
age 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 damage the tool, the
attachments or cause personal injury.

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 diameter and
wall thickness to the pipes listed may be able to be bent
depending on pipe material characteristics. Pipe with thin-
ner walls can be bent but may experience issues with
kinking or buckling in the bend area.
