This manual tube bender allows for precise bends up to 90 degrees. It is suitable for soft copper, aluminum, and plastic pipes ranging from 14mm to 32mm in diameter.
Bild 6.1: Demonstrating the 90-degree bending capability.
- Bereiten Sie die Pipeline vor: Ensure the pipe is clean and free of debris. Mark the desired bending point on the pipe.
- Insert the Pipe: Place the pipe between the selected bending die and the fixing bar. Align the marked bending point with the center of the bending die.
- Initiate Bend: Firmly grip the handle and slowly actuate the manual lever. The ratchet mechanism will engage, gradually bending the pipe.
- Monitor Bend Angle: Continuously observe the pipe's angle as you apply pressure. Stop when the desired angle is achieved (up to 90 degrees).
- Release Pipe: Once the bend is complete, release the pressure on the lever. Carefully remove the bent pipe from the tool.
