4. The bender can be used either with or without the pendant trigger. If the pendant trigger is being used, plug the cord on the trigger into the
Speed Control Box. Plug the power cord on the PT200 into the female cord on the Speed Control Box. Plug the male cord on the Speed Control Box
into the nearest outlet or extension cord. See Figure 11 and Figure 12
NOTE: See the PT200 Power Driver instruction manual for recommended extension cord lengths and wire gauges.

5. When the pendant is being used, the PT200 Locking Switch must be engaged.
To lock the threader rotation, push down on the Locking Switch while the trigger is
being squeezed. Squeeze the trigger again to release the locking mechanism. The
locking mechanism must be released to change the Direction Switch on the threader.
See Figure 13
NOTE: Make sure to release the locking mechanism whenever the Pendant Trigger is
no longer being used. If the Locking Switch is engaged when the threader is plugged in
without the Pendant Trigger it will immediately begin rotating, which could be hazardous.
6. The Portable Cyclone
®
can be used in both the horizontal and vertical position.
If it is being used in the horizontal position, place it on its side laying on the 3 legs on
the back of the bender. The base should be moved out of the way of the conduit to avoid
damaging it during bending. Unlock the Angle Adjustment Lever and rotate the base away
from the bender. The position of Die Adapter is not critical when bending vertically but
everything should be in the same plane when bending horizontally. The correct position
will vary based on threader being used. The 11-R Die Adapter can be adjusted inward
or outward as necessary to ensure that the threader is the correct distance away from
the bender to mount correctly and still lay against the ground. To do so unscrew the
screws holding the 11-R Die Adapter in place using a 3mm metric Allen wrench. There
are tapped holes in the end of the threader post and pinion gear shaft that can be used if
a more permanent mounting of the threader is desired. This can be done using horizontal
mounting hardware to attach the threader to the bender. See section "6.6 Horizontal
Threader Mounting Hardware". See Figure 14
7. If the conduit was removed when installing the PT200, insert the conduit back into the
correct shoe groove. It is recommended that the shoe be slowly rotated back to the
starting position before beginning the bend at full bending speed to avoid potentially
damaging the bender.
NOTE: If the piece of conduit being bent is long and is putting too much weight on the
back of the bender, extend the back foot to give the bender more balance. See Figure 15
