12-16TON PIPE BENDERS OWNER’S MANUAL Assembly No Assembly required Before Each Use • Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well lit. Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury. Using the tool in confined work areas may put you dangerously close to other cutting tools and rotating parts. • Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the tool will operate properly and perform its intended function.

12-16TON PIPE BENDERS OWNER’S MANUAL OPERATION TIPS AND TECHNIQUES: • The pipe bender is designed to bend water pipe and heavy-gauge galvanized pipe that is used in commercial applications. The bottle jack (#2) is a heavy-duty tool that should last through several years of use. The only parts that eventually wear out, during normal use, are the seals. If hydraulic fluid is found to be seeping from the ram of the bottle jack, you can fix the problem by installing a seal kit (not included).
