The pipe bending procedure
To bend correctly use the following instructions:
Bend gradually without forcing the set.
About halfway the bend pipe-guide P must be moved forward.
Press the lever until the bending-claw runs up against the adjusting-nut in the groove of
bending plate F.
If the radius of the bend looks too wide, the adjusting nut should be moved. The horizontal
pieces of the pipe should be slightly inclined upwards to avoid airlocks.
Moving the pipe-guide P.
The adjusting nut is in the F plate, to the left of the pulley. Use this nut to set the correct (maximum) bending
angle of the pipe.
After the first bend is completed put a mark at 56 cm distance from the beginning of the first
bend. Here we will start the second bend.
For all the next bends the same manner is used. The pictures on the next page indicate the
bending procedure while making the 7 bends.
