The Greenlee 555RSC electric classic conduit bender is a top - notch tool for electrical work. It comes with a 555C Series Bender and a 28008 1/2' - 2' Rigid Shoe Group. This bender offers simple relay controls, making field repairs a breeze. Its compact handle design prevents any interference with the conduit during bending. You can bend 1/2' – 2' Rigid, IMC, EMT, and PVC Coated Rigid pipes. There are various shoe groups available for different combinations, and the optional PVC - coated rigid conduit shoe group can be used on all 555 series benders. With less lifting required, it significantly reduces operator fatigue. The bender has a capacity of 1/2' - 2' Rigid (1/2' - 2' IMC with IMC Roller Support), runs on 120 VAC with 20 amp GFCI - protected power, weighs 320lbs, and has specific dimensions (height: 44' or 1118 mm, width: 28.5' or 724 mm, depth: 28 - 1/2' or 724 mm). It can operate in a temperature range of - 5°F to 120°F (- 20°C to 49°C) and relative humidity of 0 - 98%. The centerline bend radius varies according to the conduit size, and it's mainly for Rigid Conduit.
Using the Greenlee 555RSC is easy. First, make sure the power supply is 120 VAC and is 20 amp GFCI - protected. Connect the bender to the power source safely. Select the appropriate shoe group from the available options for the type of conduit you're working with, like 1/2' - 2' Rigid, IMC, EMT, or PVC Coated Rigid. Place the conduit in the bender and start the bending process. When using it, keep in mind the operating temperature range of - 5°F to 120°F and relative humidity of 0 - 98%. Avoid using it in extreme conditions outside these ranges. For maintenance, regularly check the simple relay controls. If there are any issues, they can be easily repaired in the field. Also, make sure to keep the bender clean and lubricated as needed to ensure smooth operation. Don't lift the bender more than necessary to reduce fatigue, and always follow safety guidelines when working with electrical equipment.
