GARDNER BENDER CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE OR INJURY CAUSED BY UNSAFE USE,MAINTENANCE OR APPLICATION OF ITS PRODUCTS. Please contact Gardner Bender for guidance when you are indoubt as to the proper safety precautions to be taken in designing and setting up your particular application.Preliminary Procedure: Read all instructions carefully before attempting to assemble or operate yourmechanical conduit bender.Bend Only Conduit Size and Type as Marked onEach Shoe:Attempts to bend conduit size and type other than thatmarked on a shoe could result in breakage. (Do notattempt to bend 2" rigid or IMC steel conduit on thisbender shoe).Roller Assembly Position:Always place roller assembly and ratchet handle inproper frame hole according to the size and type ofconduit being bent (as shown on Bender Frame).RatchetHandleWhen Bending 2" EMT Conduit:Always use the steel roller and strap provided. Failureto do so could result in breakage.StrapImportant: The bender carriage must be on a solid,level surface during operation.Mounting of Bender Frame:If bender frame is to be mounted on a bench or supportother than the SAF-T-Bender Carriage, drill four (4)holes in the support, in-line with the mounting slots ofthe frame. Attach the frame to the support with four (4)5 " cap screws of proper length and secure with four (4)16nuts. A plain washer should be used between the headof each cap screw and the bender frame.Keep hands clear of bending shoe androllers during operation.
Bender Set-UpA. Ratchet Handle1. The bender frame has two mounting holes for theratchet handle and a locating pin in the area betweenthe two holes, figure 1.B. Shoe Installation1. Select the shoe which is marked for the size and typeconduit to be bent. The diameter and material it isdesigned for is marked on the flat end of each shoe.ReleaseLeverRatchet HandleMounting HolesLocating PinRatchetPawlsFig. 3Fig. 12. The upper hole is used when bending 1 2", 3 4" and 1"conduit. The lower hole is used when bending 11 4", 11 2"and 2" conduit. Check the markings on the frame.3. Two of the three holes in the back of the ratchet handleare for the locating pin on the frame. When bending 1 2",3 " or 1" conduit, the lower left hole is used. When4bending 11 4", 1" or 2" conduit, the top center hole isused, figure 2. The third hole is not used.4. Insert the ratchet handle shaft into the frame hole2. To mount the shoe, pull the ratchet release lever backagainst the handle, figure 3.3. Raise the ratchet handle approximately 60 , thenlower it back to the rest position.The ratchet pawls willmove upward to permit shoe installation.4. Remove the hairpin cotter and washer from the pivotshaft, figure 4. Position the shoe on the shaft with theratchet teeth facing the frame.For 11 4",11 2" & 2"FrameFor 1 2",3 4" &1"Fig. 2which is marked for the size conduit to be bent. Guidethe locating pin into the correct hole and press theratchet against the frame. Secure the ratchet with thenut, tighten finger tight. NOTE: The mounting nut must be completely threadedon the shaft and the ratchet must be against the frame.Do not use a wrench to tighten the nut.2Fig. 4
5. Slide the shoe on the shaft and secure it with thelarge washer and hairpin cotter, figure 5.Bender ShoeHair Pin CotterD. Bending Conduit1. Press the shoe lock pin, figure 7, rotate the shoe untilthe lock pin seats in the shoe notch and holds theshoe in place. NOTE: Before starting a bend, be sure lock pin hasreleased from shoe.ShoeNotchWasherPivotShaftLock PinFig. 5Fig. 7C. 2" EMT Shoe Only (BT2000)1. The shoe is placed on the pivot shaft in the same wayas other shoes. The washer is not used to secure theshoe. Instead a shaft and strap assembly is used. Seefigure 6.2. Place the conduit under the shoe and in the groove.The other end of the conduit must rest on the blackroller assembly. Check the charts on the last page forexact conduit positions for various type bends.3. When the conduit is properly positioned, install theshoe jaw on the shoe until it rests against the stops,figure 8.2" EMTOnlyPivotShaftStrapSteelRollerShaftShoe JawFig. 62. Assemble the shaft by placing the strap on the smallshaft, then sliding the steel roller over the small shaft.3. Insert the shaft and strap assembly into the frameopening marked 2T. Place the strap over the pivot shaftand insert the hairpin cotter in the pivot shaft, figure 6.4. Soft roller assembly is not used when bending 2" EMT.Fig. 8 NOTE: 2" EMT Conduit Only: When the conduit ispositioned and the jaw in place, install the follow bar.The tapered end (marked Start) slides under theconduit and against the jaw. The follow bar must reston the roller assembly, figure 9.3
4. To use the bender, a 5-foot length of 1-inch standardpipe, schedule 40 or 80, is needed for bending 1/2"through 2" conduit. The 1' pipe is placed into theratchet handle and used as an extension handle tomake bending easier.RatchetPawlsConduit Resting InFollower Bar GrooveShoe TeethFig. 11Jaw Flush Against Shoe StopFig. 9 NOTE: When bending 1-1/2" thru 2" conduit, a heavyduty piece of 1" pipe must be used, due to greaterbending forces required. A 3/4" pipe can be insertedin the 1" standard pipe for added strength.5. Insert the 1" pipe into the ratchet handle, figure 10.Push the release lever forward to set the ratchetpawls. Raise the ratchet handle until the pawlsengage the shoe teeth, figure 11.6. Using the 1" pipe, pull the ratchet down to beginbending, check the angle indicator (on the frame) andthe pointer on the shoe to determine what degree ofbend has been accomplished, figure 12. Repeatraising and lowering the ratchet as often as needed tomake the desired bend.AngleIndicatorPointerRatchetHandle5' of 1"PipeFig. 12Fig. 1047. A small overbend is usually desirable to compensatefor conduit spring-back. Various types and grades ofconduit will spring-back in different amounts.
E. Removing Conduit1. After a bend is complete, pull the release lever back.2. Move the ratchet handle up until the pawls “click”together and release the shoe teeth, figure 13.3. Place foot on conduit. Keep your knee away from thehandle.4. Pull down firmly on the ratchet handle. A sharp clickwill be heard when the pawls release.5. Remove the shoe jaw. Remove the conduit from thebending shoe.Maintenance (Performed Monthly)1. Use heavy duty grease to coat the soft roller innerbearings and roller shaft.2. The roller mounting holes and ratchet mountingholes in the frame should be coated with a film oflightweight oil.3. Lightly coat the shoe pivot shaft (on the frame)with grease.4. Oil the wheel axles and the moving points of theratchet handle.5. Do not lubricate threaded shafts or hardware pieces(cotter pins, nuts, etc.).ReleaseLeverRatchetHandleFig. 136. If the conduit will not slip out of the bending shoe,place the pipe handle in the bending shoe, figure 14.1" PipeHandleBenderShoeFig. 147. Hold the conduit against the soft roller, at the sametime push the pipe upward, moving the shoe counterclockwise. The conduit will be forced out of the shoe. Note:Removing 2" conduit requires removing thefollow bar prior to removing the conduit.5

Developed Length Of Bend When conduit is bent, the length along the bend at the neutral axis (i.e.,approximately the centerline of the pipe) is commonly called “developedlength” of the bend.The difference between the “squared off” distance (AB BC) around a cornerand the “developed length” (AC) along a bend is commonly called “gain” ofthe bend.
