The Benders provide many creative ‘job-site’ fabrication solutions. By pulling the rebar against stationary pins, rebar bends SAFELY away from the operator. This bending action, coupled with an operating head that can pivot 360 degrees, makes the Pull Bender the perfect tool for bending ‘cast-in-place’ rebar. Planning on the ease of bending ‘cast-in-place’ rebar can simplify many projects. Alert operation is the key to safely using the Pull Bender. First, the rebar must be placed carefully within the cradle, lying flat against the cradle (#208) and in the middle of both rollers (#102). The rebar must extend beyond both roller pins by a minimum of 1 inch. Pulling on only one pin will cause mechanical failure and may cause serious injury. To rotate the Bender Head, loosen the 5/16 bolt in the center of the front block (part #207). Rotate the top and bottom plate assembly (#204 - #205) to the desired location. Avoid applying pressure to the 90-degree elbow (#119) during rotation process. When the Bender is new, you may need to alternately rotate the cradle (#208) and the top/bottom plates until desired angle is obtained. Be aware that the top and bottom plate assembly can move forward and out of position during rotation. Hold the top and bottom plate assembly tight against the Front Block (#203) during rotation. Then, retighten the bolt. If cradle returns slowly or not at all, 1. The 4 bolts securing the top and bottom plates may be over-tightened. Loosen all 4 bolts and re-tighten to equal torque. 2. The hydraulic connectors on either end of the hose, on the Power Head, or on the Pump may have incurred damage. Check for foreign materials in or on the connectors or scarring. Replace if necessary. 3. The cylinder may be damaged. This will require service from EZE BEND.
