1.0 DESCRIPTION

The Cyclone

, GB model B2000 production bender is used to

bend EMT, IMC, rigid steel or rigid aluminum conduit. A single

bending shoe accommodates sizes

⁄2",

⁄4", 1", 1

⁄4", 1

⁄2" and

2" conduit. The shoe is driven by a 115 V, 15 A motor. The roller

housing consists of a single urethane roller support arm, and

three sets of nylon rollers.

The bender control pendant consists of a zero light, a jog push

button, a two-position toggle switch for “Bend and Return”,

resettable circuit breaker and ON/OFF switch. An 8' electrical

cord connects the pendant to the bender frame. The bender

can be used in a horizontal or vertical position.

To avoid damaging the bender control circuit, an input voltage

sensing system is built into the control circuit. If input voltage

is less than 92 VAC or higher than 132 VAC the bender will

shut off. One of the two LEDS located on the end plate will light

to indicate whether high or low voltage exists.

Re-set the bender by turning unit off then on again. If the

incoming current voltage has not been corrected, the bender

will continue to not operate. The voltage range must be within

92 VAC to 132 VAC. Any situation which causes a voltage drop

or increase must be corrected before using the B2000 Bender.

Voltage drops may be caused by:

• Extension cords that are too long.

• Extension cords made of light (16-18 gauge) wire.

• Multiple power tools on a single circuit.

• Other devices which require high amperes to operate.

2.0 WARNINGS

CAUTION: During pipe bending, stand behind the

frame handle. Keep hands, clothing and control cord away

from the bending shoe and rollers.

WARNING: Do not operate the bender on damp or

wet surfaces. Do not stand on wet surfaces while

operating the bender.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the bending shoe,

do not allow the clamping jaws to strike the upper roller

support arm when the shoe is rotating. Position the roller

housing against the frame stop. See Figure 1.

CAUTION: Select an operating area large enough to

permit loading pipe section and bending without striking

objects or personnel.

WARNING: To avoid possible injury, do not place

fingers under the bottom edge of the bending shoe. See

Figure 2.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to bend conduit or pipe

other than

⁄

2" through 2" IMC, EMT, rigid steel or

aluminum. Bending other materials will damage the

bender and void the warranty.
