Stop
Step 1) Test and decide the amount and distance of Handle rotation to make the desired bend.
Step 2) Place the Stop (#4) into the next hole (clockwise) after your rotation is complete.
Adjustable Stop Loop
Use the Adjustable Stop Loop (#26) for stops where a finer adjustment is needed. The Adjustable Stop Loop
allows for more precise stops as it can be adjusted whereas the Stop (#4) is simply placed into a hole on the
Ring.
Step 1) Test and decide the amount and distance of Handle rotation to make the desired bend.
Step 2) Place the Adjustable Stop Loop (#26) directly at the point where the rotation of the Handle is to
end. Insert Mounting Bolt (#25) through 3/8” Washer (#24) to hold the Adjustable Stop Loop in
place. Tighten on Washer (#24) and Nut (#27).
Step 3) Try a test bend and adjust the Adjustable Stop Loop (#26) as necessary to obtain a precise
bend.
Now that the basic operating instructions have been described; it is time to practice using the Compact
Bender. We are going to show you how to make several useful items such as handles and anchor bolts. We
will also show you how to make letters of the alphabet for use in making decorative signs. Once you practice
on the Compact Bender and learn its capabilities, it should be easy to come up with additional uses for the
Compact Bender based on your interests and work requirements.
