(6) Set the bend angle
Align the setting dial to the appropriate size color and angle of the rebar to be bent. (Fig. 42-1, 42-2)
45°
[Adjusting for the sizes of rebars]
Although the bend angle is the same on the dial, the angle will slightly change
depending on the rebar's thickness.
Adjust the angle in accordance with the size color on the setting dial.
Size of the rebar
D10 mm
D13 mm
D16 mm
NOTE
Diff erences in the diameter and materials of the rebars could result in slight diff erences of the bending angle. The
alignment positions provided are a guideline and may require slight adjustment.
WARNING
○ Make absolutely sure that the cutter cover is
closed when you don't carry out the cutting
work. If the cover is kept open, the cutter can jam
on foreign objects and cause serious accidents.
(Fig. 43)
Lever
○ Never bring your hand close to the bending
roller during operation.
○ 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.
○ Do not bend any rebar exceeding the maximum
capacities of the unit described in the
specifi cations. Never bend 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 bending may have a hard spot
in it. Quality may vary within each bar. Do not
attempt to bend NON-GRADE Rebar.
○ Never place your hand onto the bending side of
the rebar. If you do so, your hand may be caught
in the mechanical parts. (Fig. 44)
○ Install the defl ection guard for operation with the
bending length of a rebar 20" (inside dimension
of the defl ection guard) or less to protect the
persons around the rebar cutter/bender in case
rebar splinters into pieces and defl ects during
bending. (Fig. 51)
○ Remove the defl ection guard when bending a
rebar whose bending length and the fi xed length
are more than 20" to prevent damage to the
defl ection guard.
○ Replace the defl ection guard with new one if it
is damaged. Damaged defl ection guard cannot
protect the persons around the rebar cutter/
bender in case a rebar splinters into pieces and
defl ects during bending.
