3. Түтүктү киргизүү: Insert the EMT conduit into the "high side" of the die. The conduit should exit from the "low side" of the die. For maximum offset, configure the handle and conduit tail to the high side.
4. Кысым колдонуу: Firmly push the handle down to make the bend.
5. Release & Remove: Release the handle and carefully remove the bent conduit from the tool.
