2. Normal cutting
WARNING
○ The bending roller is moving even during cutting
work. Keep your hands away.
○ Do not cut any rebar exceeding the maximum
capacities of the unit described in the
specifi cations.
○ Never cut any hard materials such as PC(Precast
concrete) steel. Materials of this type are likely
to scatter into pieces and cause injuries.
○ The rebar you are cutting may have a hard spot
in it. Quality may vary within each rebar. Do not
attempt to cut NON-GRADE rebar.
○ When cutting, make sure that reaction stopper
B is hooked to the rebar during the work. Make
sure that there is enough length to fully hook
reaction stopper B. (Fig. 32)
○ When cutting, correctly set the rebar near the
center or deep inside the cutter.
If the rebar is set at the end of the cutter during
cutting, it may result in iron fi lings scattering
from the rebar or damage to the cutter or tool.
(Fig. 33)
○ Replace the worn grip rubber with new one when
replacing the cutter.
○ Note that the unit is not a hand held tool. Be
absolutely sure to use the unit only after placing
it on stable spots such as fl oor, ground, etc.
CAUTION
Do not simultaneously cut two rebars measuring
D16 mm or D13 mm.
Doing so may damage the tool.
After following the steps for "1. Inspect the cutter and grip
