Read handling
instructions before use.

ensuring that there are no
people within the turning range
of the material to be bent.
Do not use this electric
power tools in wet
weather conditions.
Never bring your hand
close to the cutter
during operation.
(Returning halfway)
1 Select RETURN with the dial.
2 Pull the trigger.
If you bend the rebar with a large angle while placing your hand onto it, there is
a fear of getting your hand caught in by the fold-back reaction of the rebar.
Never place your hand onto the position where the rebar may fold back.
The cutter blade can get worn out by repeated rebar cutting. Continued use of
a worn-out cutter can result in the damage and the broken pieces flying
around. Replace it with a new cutter after approximately 8,000 times of cutting
as a rough guide.
The machine is so designed that the upper cutter and the grip rubber can
support a rebar.
If the grip rubber gets worn out, there is a fear that it cannot sufficiently hold the
rebar and gets broken down with its parts flying around, etc.
If the grip rubber cannot hold the rebar much longer, replace it with a new grip
rubber.
During cutting work, securely hook the rebar to the reaction stopper B.
Furthermore, secure enough length of a rebar to be hooked to the reaction
stopper B.
Avoid bringing your hand near to the reaction stopper B during operation;
otherwise, you may get your finger caught in or may run the hazard of other
injuries.
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.
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.
Avoid any work exceeding
the maximum capacities.
(Rebar diameter: 16 mm dia. (5/8"))
