KEEP CHILDREN AND UNTRAINED PERSONNEL AWAY FROM THE WORK AREA: All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the work area; never allow untrained persons to operate the shop press.
STAY ALERT: Always watch what you are doing and use common sense.
NEVER LEAVE THE BENDER UNATTENDED: When in use / under load.
HAVE YOUR PRODUCT REPAIRED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON: The product is in accordance with the relevant safety requirements. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons using original spare parts, otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the user and void the warranty.

DANGER! Check that the product is in sound condition and good working order; Take immediate action to repair or replace damaged parts.
WARNING! Only operate on a level and stable surface and never use on soft ground where the product is likely to “sink” whilst in operation. NEVER STAND ON THE PRODUCT: The product is not designed for this purpose. DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the product, as this may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

• If a problem with the bender is experienced or suspected stop using the product immediately and contact your distributor for repair.

• Do not attempt to press a load that exceeds the rated capacity of the product.
  Regularly inspect, clean and lubricate the shop product, ensuring that it is in good working order and condition.

• Always ensure that the work area is clean and tidy, free from unrelated materials and has adequate lighting.

• Keep hands, limbs etc. clear of moving parts during operation of the ram.

• DO NOT top-up the bender with brake fluid, or other oil types; use hydraulic oil only.

• DO NOT adjust the safety overload valves.

• Clean the product correctly, with the ram in the down position, but DO NOT leave it extended.

• Failure to follow the warnings in this manual, may result in personal injury and/ or property damage.

• Prior to applying the load, be sure that the hydraulic ram nut threads are fully engaged to the head assembly.

• Components of this shop press are specially designed to withstand the rated capacity. Do not substitute bolts, pins, or any other components.

• Always press the load on the centre of the ram. Offset loads can damage the ram, and may cause a workpiece to eject.

• Before operating, check for signs of cracked welds, bent support pins , loose or missing bolts, or any other structural damage. Do not operate if any of these conditions exist. Have repairs made only by an authorized service centre/engineer.

• Parts being pressed may splinter, shatter or eject from the bender. Due to various applications, it is your responsibility to always use adequate guards, such as eye protection and heavy protective clothing, when operating this.

• Do not stand in front of the work area where the load is applied.

• If the product appears to be damaged in any way, is found to be badly worn, or operates abnormally IT SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE until necessary repairs are made by an authorized service center.

• Understand the operating environment; Before each use the operator should assess, understand and where possible reduce the specific risks and dangers associated with the operating environment. Bystanders should also be made aware of any risks associated with the operating environment.

Danger: Never exceed the maximum capacity of 12 ton, overloading can lead to personal injury or damage to the pipe bender.

CAUTION: The warnings and cautions mentioned in this user manual can not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the oper-ator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this prod-uct, but must be applied.

GUARANTEE

This SIP Pipe Bender is covered by a 2 year parts and labour warranty covering failure due to manufacturers defects. This does not cover failure due to misuse or operating the pipe bender outside the scope of this manual – any claims deemed to be outside the scope of the warranty may be subject to charges Including, but not limited to parts, labour and carriage costs. This guarantee does not cover consumables such as oil, springs, formers etc. In the unlikely event of warranty claims, contact your distributor as soon as possible.
Note: Proof of purchase will be required before any warranty can be honored.

OPERATION

The tool is provided with six Bending Formers. This enables the following sizes of British Standard Pipe, to BS1387, to be bent to any angle up to 180 degrees.
1/2 , 3/4, 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2, and 2 inches
Consult the chart below to ensure the correct die for the corresponding pipe is used. If the wrong former is used, the quality of bend will be severely compromised. With the pipe resting in the former, and with the ram in its lowest position, (open the hydraulic valve by turning it anticlockwise), secure the guide rollers in place using the R Clips (see parts diagram).

Nominal Bending Die/Pipe Size|  | Inside Diameter (Bore)|  | Outside Diameter

(Actual size of Bending Die)

---|---|---|---|---

BSP

| Medium| Heavy| Medium/Heavy
mm| inch| mm| inch| mm| inch
1/2”| 16.2| 0.65| 15.0| 0.59| 21.4| 27/32
3/4”| 21.7| 0.85| 20.5| 0.81| 26.9| 1-1/16
1”| 27.4| 1.08| 25.8| 1.02| 33.8| 1-3/8
1-1/4”| 36.1| 1.42| 34.5| 1.36| 42.5| 1-11/16
1-1/2”| 42.0| 1.65| 40.4| 1.59| 48.4| 1-29/32
2”| 53.1| 2.09| 51.3| 2.02| 60.3| 2-3/8

ALWAYS ensure the pipe is located securely and square in the die,
Close the hydraulic valve by turning it clockwise fully, then pump the operating lever
gently.
NOTE: For best results, bend the pipe progressively. Set the guide rollers wide apart to begin with, bringing them closer together as the degree of bend increases.
When completed, open the hydraulic valve. ThIs allows the work to be removed. To remove the former from the work, a short sharp tap with a hammer and brass drift should be all that is required. TAKE CARE when removing…NEVER hammer directly on the edges of the former. The Hydraulic Pipe Bender is designed for bending STEEL PIPE ONLY, either galvanized or black finish. Please familiarise yourself with its operation, so that it may be used properly in order to provide you with long and satisfactory service.

CAUTION: This bender is not designed to bend thin wall tubes – e.g. copper.

MAINTENANCE

This tool requires no maintenance except for keeping it clean. Always visually inspect before each use to ensure no welds are cracked or broken, and that the tool is in good general condition. If it is damaged or if in doubt as to its serviceability, consult SIP After Sales –  01509 500400 or your local SIP distributor. ALWAYS store the tool with the ram in its lowest position. Store in an upright position. Resist from laying the product on its side. This will prevent air from entering the system and the necessity to bleed the ram. Air in the system will result in poor performance. Bleeding the ram: With the ram in its vertical position, close the release valve at the base of the ram unit (turn it clockwise), then remove the rubber bung on the upper part of the cylinder. Pump the handle several times to expel all air, then replace the rubber bung.
