SETUP AND OPERATION

1. Before assembling the MXB2000, ensure that the bender is disconnected from the power source.
2. Mount the handle using the four(4) hex bolts and washers. The bolts & washers can be found in the fabric pouch hanging on the MXB2000 frame.
3. Mount the appropriate roller support onto the legs of the bender. The roller support mounts as shown below. The roller support is heavy and has spring-loaded moving parts so use caution to prevent pinching your hands and fingers.
4. The IMC and EMT roller supports have a trap plate that may require adjustment to properly fit under the leg of the bender. Verify that the trap plate is 3.1″ (78 mm) below the leveling screws. If necessary, loosen the two set screws, adjust the leveling bolts so the trap plate fits under the leg of the bender, then retighten the set screws.
5. Install the roller support hinge pin in the location shown below.
6. Install the cotter pin into the end of the roller support hinge pin to secure it.
7. Fully retract the rollers by pulling up on the loading pedal with your foot before attempting to install the bending shoe.
8. Slide the appropriate bending shoe onto the shaft of the main sprocket, as shown. Align the four studs on the back of the shoe with the four holes in the main sprocket. Push the shoe in until it stops.
9. Locate the pendant and the pendant power cord. Plug the pendant power cord into the back of the MXB2000 bender as shown below. Plug the other end of the pendant power cord into the bottom of the pendant as shown below.
10. Use a 10-3 electrical cord with the bender (not supplied)

BENDING CONDUIT

Bending ½”, ¾”, 1”, and 1 ¼” EMT, Rigid, and IMC Conduit

1. Before preparing the MXB2000 for bending conduit, ensure that the bender is disconnected from the power source.
2. Install the correct roller assembly on the bender and attach the hinge pin to secure it to the bender. Insert the cotter pin into the end of the hinge pin.
3. Install the appropriate bending shoe for the conduit being bent
4. Place the black roller assemblv in the folded-up or vertical position. These rollers are used when bending ½2″, ¾”, 1″, and 1 ¼” conduit.
5. Using your foot, lift up on the pressure pedal to position the – ½” & 2″ roller unit into the fully retracted position. The 1 ½” and 2″ rollers should drop into the fully retracted position. If they do not fully retract, use a tool, such as a screwdriver, to adjust the roller so that both rollers rotate coun- terclockwise to the retracted position. Using a tool to adjust the roller will keep hands and fingers clear from any potential pinch points. These pressure rollers are not used when bending ½”, ¾”, 1″, and 1 ¼” conduit.
6. The bending shoe is separated into two halves. One half of the shoe is used for bending ½”, ¾”, 1”, and 1 ¼” conduit. The other half of the shoe is used for bending 1 ½” and 2” conduit. See markings cast into the center of the shoe indicating the conduit size for each half.
7. Plug the power cord into an appropriate 120V AC receptacle.
8. Turn the power switch on the back of the bender to the ON position.
9. Using the pendant controller, press BEND to rotate the shoe clockwise. Rotate the shoe until the ½” ¾” 1″ and 1 ¼” half of the shoe is facing down and the arrow pointer is at approximately 5° before the 0° starting point.
10. Facing the front of the bender, load the conduit into the right side of the bender. Place the conduit on the correct size roller and guide it into the bender until it aligns with the corresponding groove in the shoe. Continue guiding the conduit into the bender until the bending mark is aligned with the front edge of the hook.
11. Press BEND and rotate the shoe until the bottom of the hook fully contacts the bottom of the conduit. See illustration below. The conduit should be held firm but you should still be able to turn it with your hand. The arrow on the protractor scale should be at approximately the 0° position.
12. Press and hold the BEND button to begin bending the conduit.
13. Release the BEND button to stop bending.
14. When the bend is complete, press RETURN to rotate the shoe counter- clockwise so that the conduit loosens from the hook and can be removed from the bender.
15. After the conduit has been removed, press and hold the RETURN button until the position arrow is pointing at approximately 5° before the 0° start position.

Bending 1 ½” and 2” EMT, IMC, and Rigid Conduit

Note: Pressure rollers are not used with Rigid conduit

1. Before preparing the MXB2000 for bending conduit, ensure that the bender is disconnected from the power source

2. Install the appropriate roller assembly on the bender and attach the hinge pin to secure it to the bender. Insert the cotter pin into the end of the hinge pin.

3. Install the appropriate bending shoe for the type of conduit being bent.

4. Place the black roller assembly in the folded-down position. This roller assembly is not used when bending 1 ½” and 2″ conduit.

5. For EMT and IMC conduit, use your foot to lift up on the pressure pedal to position the 1 ½” & 2″ roller unit into the fully retracted position. The ½” and 2″ rollers should drop into the fully retracted position. If they do not fully retract, use one hand to slightly press up on the loading pedal and at the same time, use a tool such as a screwdriver to adjust the roller so that both rollers rotate counterclockwise to the retracted position. Using a tool to adjust the roller will keep hands and fingers clear from any potential pinch points.

6. The bending shoe is separated into two halves. One half of the shoe is used for bending ½”. ¾”.1″ “, and 1 ¼” conduit. The other halt of the shoe is used for bending 1½” and 2″ conduit. See markings on the shoe showing the conduit size for each half.

7. Plug the power cord into an appropriate 120V AC outlet.

8. Turn the power switch on the back of the bender to the ON position.

9. Using the pendant controller, press BEND to rotate the shoe clockwise. Rotate the shoe until the 1 ½” and 2″ half of the shoe is facing down and the painted hooks on the shoe are at approximately the 6 o’clock position. On the protractor scale, the arrow should be approximately 5° before the 0° starting point.

10. Facing the front of the bender, load the conduit into the right side of the bender. Place the conduit on the correct size roller and guide it into the bender until it aligns with the corresponding groove in the shoe. Continue guiding the conduit into the bender until the bending mark is aligned with the front edge of the hook.

11. Press BEND and rotate the shoe until the bottom of the hook fully contacts the bottom of the conduit. The conduit should be held firm but you should still be able to turn it with your hand. The arrow on the protractor scale should be at approximately the 0° position.

12. Place your foot on the pressure pedal to bring both rollers into contact with the conduit.
    (The roller assembly has a stop which limits the travel of the pressure pedal When the pressure pedal is touching the stop, the rollers are fully engaged).

13. Before commencing with the bend, press down on the pressure pedal with moderate pressure (approximately 30-40 Is of force). If the pressure pedal rotates and fully engages with the stop, the pressure rollers are too loose and the height of the rollers need to be raised. See section below titled “Adjusting the 1 ½” & 2″ Pressure Rollers” you can apply moderate downward force on the pedal and it does not fully engage with the stop, then the rollers are adjusted properly.

14. Start the bend by pushing down on the pressure pedal with moderate pressure. Press and hold the BEND button on the pendant while maintaining pressure on pedal.

15. As the bend begins, the pressure rollers should “roll in” to the fully engaged position and the pressure pedal should come into contact with the stop. Once the pressure rollers are fully engaged, you can remove your foot from the pressure pedal and continue with the bend.

16. Release the BEND button to stop bending.

17. When the bend is complete, press RETURN to rotate the shoe counter clockwise so that the conduit loosens from the hook and can be removed from the bender.

18. After the conduit has been removed, press and hold the RETURN button until the position arrow is pointing at approximately 5° before the 0° start position.

Adjusting the 1 ½” & 2″ Pressure Rollers

Note : Pressure rollers are not used with Rigid conduit

When bending 1 1/2″ and 2″ EMT and IMC conduit, the pressure rollers must be fully engaged so that they apply the appropriate amount of pressure to the conduit. Because of variations in brands and construction of conduit, the factory setting for the pressure rollers may need to be adjusted to provide the right around of pressure on the conduit. If the conduit exhibits excessive side flattening when bent, the pressure may be set too high. If the conduit becomes kinked or wrinkled, the pressure may be set too low.

To adjust the roller pressure, do the following:

1. Use a screwdriver to loosen the set screws
2. Use a wrench to rotate both adjusting bolts 1/2 turn clockwise to INCREASE pressure or 1/2 turn counterclockwise to DECREASE pressure.Be sure to adjust both bolts the same amount so that the roller pressure is applied evenly. Measure the length of the exposed bolt and ensure that the length is the same on both sides.
3. Tighten the set screws.

ARROW ADJUSTMENT

The arrow on the shoe can be adiusted to compensate for variations in conduit.

1. Load the conduit into the proper shoe groove.
2. Press BEND momentarily until the shoe rotates enough so that the bottom of the conduit is fully contacting the bottom of the hook.
3. Verify that the arrow position is aligned with 0° on the protractor scale. If necessary, loosen the hex head bolt and adjust the arrow to align with 0°. Retighten the hex head bolt, as shown.

IllUSTRATED BENDING GLOSSARY

• back-to-back bend – any U-shaped bend formed by two parallel 90° bends with a straight section of conduit or pipe between the bends.
• center-to-center distance – the distance between the successive bends that make up an offset or a three-bend saddle.
• developed length – the actual length of pipe that will be bent; refer to distance “d” in the illustration at left.
• gain – the difference between the straight-line distance (a + a) and the shorter radial distance, (d) where:
  • g = angle of bend
  • r = the centerline bending radius of the bending shoe
• kick – single bend of less than 90°
• leg length – the distance from the end of a straight section of conduit or pipe to the bend; measured from the end to the outside edge of the conduit or pipe.
• offset bend – two opposite bends with the same degree of bend; used to avoid an obstruction.
• offset height – the distance between the two legs of an offset bend, measured perpendicular to the two legs; also called amount of offset and depth of offset.
• rise – the distance from the end of a straight section of conduit or pipe to the bend; measured from the end to the center line of the conduit or pipe. Also called stub or stub-up.
• saddle – a three-bend or four-bend combination; used to avoid an obstruction.
• shrink the amount of conduit “lost” when laying out an offset bend working toward an obstruction.
• spring back – in the amount, measured in degrees, that a conduit or pipe tends to straighten after being bent.

BENDING INSTRUCTIONS 90° STUBS

1. Measure the length of the required stub.
2. See the Minimum Stub Length formula on the Deduct Table. The required stub must be equal to or longer than the Minimum Stub Length.
3. Measure and mark the stub length on the conduit. This is Mark 1. Subtract the Deduct from this mark and make a new mark. This is Mark 2.
4. Align Mark 2 with the front edge of the hook and bend the conduit.

Notes:
When the operator presses RETURN, the conduit may spring back a few degrees. Compensate by overbending as shown in the Scale Reading Table
