Default how to Hossfeld?

I have access to a Hossfeld bender. To many options to wing it,and mistakes are costly. I remember coming across a web page a few years ago with great instruction on this machine. Any direction is greatly appreciated!
The community college purchased one with no idea how to use it, just wanted to say they had one. I don't want it to go to waste.
They received nothing with it as far as instruction.I am waiting for the mfg publication, but as I recall it was not that great. I wish I could remember where I saw that link.

Thank you
Kenny O

Hossfeld has download PDF files that might be helpful. The HOSSFELD UNIVERSAL® Bender Tooling Brochure has extensive set-up drawings the seem to point you in the right direction to get started. Looks like that bender starts when my conduit bender stops.

LOL, I used a #1 for 30+ years before I ever saw an instruction book.
