○ 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 fl oor, ground, etc.
○ Begin operation only after marking sure that
there are no people within the turning range of
the material to be bent. (Fig. 45)
○ The minimum required bending length is 8"
(200 mm).
If the bending length is not long enough, the
rebar can come off during bending operation,
or it can break into fragments and scatter
dangerously. (Fig. 47)
○ 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 fl y off .
(Fig. 46)
○ When bending multiple rebars at one time, some
may come off the bending roller and guide, etc.,
and therefore exercise caution and set them
horizontally.
○ Bend less than every 3 pieces of rebar with a
#3(3/8") diameter, less than every 2 pieces with
a #4(1/2") diameter, and every 1 piece with a
#5(5/8") diameter.
○ Remember that the cutter moves even during
the bending operation, thereby, close the cutter
cover without fail.

(8) Press the switch lock to release the lock and pull the
switch to bend the rebar.
Even after the rebar is bent, the motor will reverse-
rotate and the roller will return to position while the
switch is pulled.
When the roller begins returning to position, it will
continue to do so even if the switch is released.

2. How to install defl ection guard
The defl ection guard is provided to protect the
persons around the rebar cutter/bender in case
a rebar splinters into pieces and defl ects during
bending. Install the defl ection guard to the VB3616DA
for operation with the bending length of a rebar 20"
(inside dimension of the defl ection guard) or less.
(1) Insert the base of the defl ection guard into the slot of
the rebar cutter/bender. (Fig. 48)
