Pre-Operation Inspection

WARNING
Before each use, inspect your pipe bender and cor-
rect any problems to reduce the risk of serious inju-
ry from electric shock, crushing injuries and other
causes and prevent machine damage.
1. If an electric bender, make sure the ON/OFF switch
is in the OFF ( ) position and the power cord is
un plugged.
2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the pipe bender,
including the handles and controls. This allows bet-
ter inspection of the pipe bender and helps prevent
the pipe bender or control from slipping from your
grip during use.
3. Inspect the bender for:
• Hydraulic leaks. Check the hydraulic fluid level
and adjust as needed (see Maintenance Section).
• Any broken, cracked, bent, missing, misarranged
or binding parts or any other condition that may
prevent the safe and normal operation of the
bender.
• Cracks or breaks in the formers and corner sup-
ports.
