Operation (cont’d)
ADJUSTING THE SQUEEZE
When bending 1-1/2" to 2" EMT or IMC, the roller
support must be engaged so that it contacts the conduit;
the pressure against the conduit is the “squeeze.”
Due to variations in conduit, the standard adjustment
may provide too much or too little squeeze. If the conduit
develops excessive side marking when bent, the
squeeze is set too high. If the conduit becomes exces-
sively oval or wrinkled, the squeeze is set too low.
1. Use a screwdriver to loosen the set screws.
2. Use a wrench to rotate both adjusting bolts 1/2 turn
clockwise to INCREASE squeeze or 1/2 turn coun-
terclockwise to DECREASE squeeze.
Note: In order to distribute the load evenly, adjust
both bolts to the same setting. See the illustration.
3. Tighten the set screws.
