Default Pipe bender question

Don't you just love foreign language manual translations! ;-)

Does this mean I should be heating the tubing with a blowlamp before
bending?


It is probably saying don't try bending hard wall tube with it. The
normal half hard (Table X) copper pipe should be fine. Having said that
you can still anneal the tube first if you want to make it easier to bend.
