wheel grooves. Keep body parts away from pinch/bend areas while using. Ensure
the tubing is secure in the tool before bending. Always wear approved eye
protection. Broken materials may fly.
Operation INSTRUCTIONS
The tube bender comes with the tube clamp hook positioned for the smallest diameter tube. When bending any other diameter, the tube clamp hook must be repositioned. To reposition the tube clamp hook, loosen the tube clamp screw far enough to move the clamp hook and insert it into the appropriate clamp stop and retighten the clamp screw. The diameter of the tube is indicated at the bottom of the clamp on the form wheel as shown in Fig.I. Raise the form lever. Position tubing in the groove as shown. It is important that the tube is engaged with the tube clamp hook to prevent slippage(Fig.2).
Lower the form lever until the “0″on the form lever and form wheel are aligned(Fig.3).Pull the form lever down until the desired bend angle is obtained. Degree of bend is indicated when the “O”mark on the form lever aligns with the desired degree graduation on the form wheel (Fig.5A).
Making Accurate 90° Center line Bends
90°BENDS FOR 1/4″ TUBING Determine the desired Center line dimension
(Dimension “L” in Fig.4). Measure from end of the tube at “L” distance and
place a mark on the tube (Mark “L”).
Position tube in bender as shown in Fig.5. If the end measured is left of the tube-clamping hook the measured mark “L” should be directly under the “L” graduation on the form lever face plate as shown in Fig.5. With a steady motion, pull form lever handle around until the “O” mark on the form lever is directly opposite the 90° graduation on the form wheel (Fig. 5A). If the end that is to be measured is to the right of the tube clamping hook, mark the tube at “R”distance and position directly below the graduation “R” located on the form lever as shown in Fig.6, then proceed with bend in the same manner as above.
90° Bends for 3/8″ & 1/2″ Tubing
Place mark.”L”on the tube in the same manner as required for the 1/4”size. For
a bend to the left of the tube-clamping hook refer to Table 1. Subtract from
the original mark “L” the appropriate length, and place a second mark “B”on
the tube.This second mark “B” should be placed on the right edge of the tube-
clamping hook as shown in Fig.7. For bends to the right of the tube clamping
hook, place mark “R” on the tube in the same manner as required for the 1/4^
size. Add to your mark the distance shown in Table 2, placing a second mark
*B”on the tube.This second mark”B”should be placed on the right edge of the
tube- clamping hook as shown in Fig.7.
Lower the form lever until the “0” mark on the form lever and form wheel are aligned, then pull the form lever down until the desired bend angle is obtained. The degree of bend is indicated when the “0” mark on the form lever aligns with the desired degree graduation on the form wheel (Fig.5A). As an alternative to the calculation table for making right or left bends, a scale on the form lever handle is provided. After the mark “L” or “R” is determined, place the mark even with the appropriate graduation “L” (left) or “R” (right) for the appropriate tube diameter.Place the second mark “B” on the tube at the “HOOK ALIGNMENT MARK”, as shown in Fig.8.
Example—See Fig.8 for a bend left of the tube clamping hook, using 3/8″ tubing Measure the required distance from the end of the tube and place mark “L”. Hold the handle to the tube with Mark “L” adjacent to the 3/8″ Left mark. Make a second mark “B” on the tube adjacent to the “HOOK ALIGNMENT MARK”. Place tube in bender with the second mark “B” aligned with the right edge of the tube clamp hook (Fig.7).
Making bends left of tube clamp hook
Table1.This is for “L” Dimension and must be subtracted form the center line
requirement.
Example:
The “L” Dim. (Centerline) is 9- 1/2″ (9.5″) and the tube is 1/2″ O.D? Refer to
Table 1 under Mark “B” and subtract 2-29/32″ (2.906″).9-1/2″
(9.5″)-2-29/32″(2.906″)=6-19/32″(6.594″)
Making bends right of tube clamp hook
Table 2. This is for the “R” Dimension and must be added to the center line
requirement.
Length Correction Factor for 90° Bends
To arrive at the exact tube length to fabricate a circuit, the following
method may be used. Add all center-to-center dimensions of the tube circuit.
For each 90° bend, subtract the amount shown in the chart “A”. Circuits are
dimensions to square corners. Therefore the tube is always less.
