(Returning Halfway)
1 Select RETURN with the dial.
2 Pull the triger.
● 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.
