An endoscope includes an electric device attached to a rigid portion provided at a distal end of the endoscope, and signal conductors extending from the electric device. The signal conductors are bent at a bending portion of the endoscope so as to reduce a bending resistance of the bending portion. Each signal conductor has an intersecting portion extending in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the bending portion. A jig for processing or bending the signal conductors includes a plurality of pairs of first and second engagement portions provided on each of opposite sides of the jig. The first engagement portions as well as the second engagement portions arre arranged in a row, and spaced from one another in the longitudinal direction of the jig. Each pair of first and second engagement portions are disposed in a straight line intersecting the longitudinal direction of the jig.
