Setting Up Your Hydraulic Pipe Bender

Before you begin bending, it’s essential to properly set up your hydraulic pipe bender from Northern Tools.

1. Choose the Correct Die: Select the die that corresponds to the diameter of the pipe you’ll be bending.
2. Secure the Die: Insert the chosen die into the bender’s die holder and tighten the securing bolts.
3. Connect the Hydraulic Pump: Connect the hydraulic pump to the bender’s hydraulic port.
4. Check Fluid Levels: Ensure the hydraulic fluid reservoir is filled to the appropriate level.

Operating the Hydraulic Pipe Bender

Once your bender is set up, you’re ready to start bending pipes.

1. Position the Pipe: Place the pipe into the die, ensuring it’s properly aligned.
2. Engage the Hydraulic Pump: Activate the hydraulic pump to apply pressure to the bending arm.
3. Monitor the Bend: Carefully observe the bend as it progresses, adjusting the pressure as needed to achieve the desired angle.
4. Release the Pressure: Once the desired bend is achieved, release the pressure on the hydraulic pump.
5. Remove the Pipe: Carefully remove the bent pipe from the die.

Tips for Successful Bending

• Lubricate the Pipe: Applying lubricant to the pipe before bending can reduce friction and prevent damage to the pipe’s surface.
• Use a Bending Guide: For complex bends, consider using a bending guide to ensure accuracy and consistency.
• Practice Makes Perfect: Like any skill, bending pipes takes practice. Start with simple bends and gradually work your way up to more complex shapes.

Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your hydraulic pipe bender from Northern Tools, follow these maintenance tips:

• Regularly Inspect: Check the bender for any signs of wear or damage, paying particular attention to the hydraulic system and dies.
• Clean the Bender: After each use, wipe down the bender with a clean cloth to remove any dirt or debris.
• Lubricate Moving Parts: Periodically lubricate the bender’s moving parts, such as the hydraulic cylinder and pivot points, to ensure smooth operation.
• Store Properly: When not in use, store the bender in a dry and protected location.
