⅜ During cutting work, securely hook the rebar to the

reaction stopper B. Furthermore, secure enough

length of the rebar to be hooked to the reaction

stopper B.

⅜ Set the rebar in the center or the recess of the cutter

during cutting work. Any cutting work with the

rebar set on corners or ends of the cutter can result

in the pieces of broken rebar flying around or the

damage to the cutter and the machine.

1. Cutting (Fig. 3.)

(1) Turn the lever in the direction of the arrow mark

and open the cover.

(2) Set the setting dial at the “cut” position. (Turn the

setting dial all the way clockwise.) (Fig. 3.)

(3) Set the unit in the position shown in Fig. 3.

(4) Set the rebar to be cut on the lower cutter.

(5) When the rebar is set, make sure that either the

reaction stopper A or B is hitched to the rebar.

(6) Pull the switch trigger and cut the rebar.

CAUTION

⅜ For the sake of safe operation, this unit is designed

so that the switch cannot be inadvertently switched

on. When switching the tool on, press the lock

button and then pull the switch trigger (Fig. 2). If

the switch trigger is pulled without pressing the

lock button first, the switch may be damaged. Please

use care when switching the tool on.

⅜ Even after the cutting has been completed, continue

pulling the switch trigger until the motor starts to

run in the reverse direction and the cutter starts

to return. If the switch trigger is released too early,

the cutter will not return and the trigger will have

to be pulled again.

⅜ If the switch is turned off and then immediately

turned on again, the motor may not start. Wait for

at least one full second before attempting to turn

the motor on again after it has been switched off.

⅜ A slip clutch is built in the machine to protect the

mechanism.

If you process the material with the diameter or

quality beyond the capacity, the slip clutch can

sometimes function. In such a case, stop processing

immediately and check the material.

When the slip clutch works, a big slip noise occurs,

but it’s not a malfunction.

2. Removing the rebar during cutting operation. (Fig.

4.)

If the switch trigger is released in the middle of

cutting, the cutter can come to a stop at a halfway

position, jumming the rebar in the unit.

When this occurs, you can either pull the switch

trigger again and cut off the rebar, or you can free

the rebar by bringing the upper cutter back up to

the home position by carrying out the following

procedure. (Fig. 4.)

⅜ Removing (Fig. 5.)

Set the setting dial to the “RETURN” position as

shown in Fig. 5. and pull the switch trigger again.

SERVICE LIFE AND REPLACEMENT OF THE

CUTTER

1. Service life of cutter (Fig. 6.)

Repeated cutting of the rebar can result in the

“wear and tear”, “deformation,” nicked edges”, etc.

Using the cutter under such circumstances will not

only damage the machine but also there will be a

fear of the broken cutter fragments flying around.

Replace it with a new cutter after cutting about

8,000 pieces of rebar (a rough guide).

2. Before removing the cutter

WARNING!

To prevent accidents, always be sure to turn the switch

OFF and unplug the power cord from the receptacle.

(1) Pull the switch lightly and let the upper cutter move

slowly. When the hexagon socket bolt that fixes the

upper cutter comes out of the cam cover, turn the

switch OFF and stop the motor.

(2) Unplug the power cord from the receptacle.

3. Removal

⅜ If you remove the hexagon socket bolt using the

provided Allen key, you can remove the cutter.

(Pushing the cutter guard up in the direction of the

arrow shown in Fig. 7, facilitates removal of the

upper cutter.)

⅜ Removal of the lower cutter can be easily made if

the lower cutter is wrenched with a Phillips head

screwdriver as shown in the following diagram.

(Fig. 8)

4. Mounting

(1) Get rid of dust around the cutter installing section

and clean it up.

(2) Align the hole of a new cutter and the position of

a pin, and insert it into the installing section.

(3) Also replace the hexagon socket bolt (packed along

with the cutter) with a new one simultaneously,

completely tighten it using the attached Allen key,

and then fix the cutter.

HOW TO USE (BENDING)

WARNING!

⅜ Note that the unit is not a hand-held tool. Be

absolutely sure to use the unit only after placing

it on a stable spots such as floor, ground, etc.

⅜ Never bring your hand close to the bending roller

during operation.

⅜ Never bend any materials other than the rebars. If

you attempt to do so, the material can splinter into

pieces and scatter.

⅜ Bend less than every 3 pieces of rebar with a 10mm

diameter, less than every 2 pieces with a 12 mm

diameter, and every 1 piece with a 16mm diameter.

⅜ Remember that the cutter moves even during the

bending operation, thereby, close the cutter cover

without fail.

⅜ Begin operation only after marking sure that there

are no people within the turning range of the material

to be bent.

⅜ Reserve an extra length of at least 200 mm on the

bending length of the rebar to be bent. (Fig. 9)

If the extra length is not long enough, the rebar

can come off during bending operation, or it can

break into fragments and scatter dangerously.

⅜ Place the rebar on the center plate and set it so

that it is horizontal with the turntable surface.

If the side that is to be bent is set inclined upward,

the rebar can come loose from the bending roller

while bending causing it to fly off. (Fig. 10)
