What happens here

After the first bend, pull the conduit up, keeping it in the bender. Rotate the conduit 180 degrees. Then, reposition the bender so that the conduit sticks out exactly one inch from the bender's shoe, and the handle of the bender is now on the ground (or positioned for a downward bend). This precise measurement and rotation are critical for creating an even offset and avoiding a 'dog leg' or crooked bend.

Goal: Set up the conduit and bender for the mirrored second bend of the offset.
