Pull back a tiny bit. This >> Oh, I see. I see. >> Let's use the manual bender. Pick it up. Put the end of the conduit at the very end of that shoe. Don't have it stick out from the end of the bender. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Got it. >> Now, stand up. Put your weight on it. You're going to make a small bend backwards. >> That a little more. >> Good. Right about there. Good. Now, what you can do is stand up. Pull the pipe up with you. Put the other end of the conduit bender on the ground. Now, >> put the handle on the ground. >> Yeah. >> Like that. >> No, no, no, no. You want to put the handle upside down like this. >> Oh, I see. I see. >> That's it. That's it. Yep. Stand up. You can see you're still in the same spot. Now, you have to turn the conduit around 180° and have it stick out one inch. Got it.

How do I know when I'm good, though? I think it's good, right? >> Yeah. It was only a little bit. Okay. You got to work on it. >> Okay. Oh, yeah. That's that fits right there. >> That works. Yeah. If you make a mistake on an offset, you can always correct it, right? >> Thanks, Dad. Yep.
