Operation (cont'd)
Squeeze Adjustment
Squeeze is factory set and should not normally need to
be adjusted.
When bending 1-1/2" or 2" EMT or IMC, the amount
of squeeze applied to the conduit can be adjusted to
compensate for conduit variations. The squeeze is set
properly if the conduit does not contact the roller on
the tail roller support (10) while bending EMT. Also, the
conduit should not be more than approximately 1/4"
(6 mm) above the tail roller.
