accurate offset bends
• Quickly creates repeated bends at the same degree
• Strong legs offer increased jobsite durability (10x life test)
• Large tires/wheels - increase mobility
• Strong upright handle provides ease of use
• Easily lift and transport using the forklift tubes built into base
• Lift Hook for security (job-site) tethering

Instruction Sheet
B2000 Cyclone
Effective for models with serial numbers beginning with "J".
The bender control pendant consists of a zero light, a green power
light, a jog push button, a push button for "Bend and Return". An
8' electrical cord connects the pendant to the bender frame. The
bender can be used in a horizontal or vertical position.
The end plate contains an ON-OFF switch which is also a circuit
breaker. When the switch is turned on, the two leds will flash red,
then green to indicate normal function.
To avoid damaging the bender control circuit, an input voltage
sensing system is built into the control circuit. If input voltage is less
than 92 VAC or higher than 132 VAC the bender will shut off. One of
the two LEDS located on the end plate will light to indicate whether
high or low voltage exists.
Re-set the bender by turning unit off then on again. If the incoming
current voltage has not been corrected, the bender will not operate.
The voltage range must be within 92 VAC to 132 VAC. Any situation
which causes a voltage drop or increase must be corrected before
using the B2000 Bender.
Voltage drops may be caused by:
• Extension cords that are too long.
• Extension cords made of light (16-18 gauge) wire.
• Multiple power tools on a single circuit.
• Other devices which require high amperes to operate.
