Service Life And Replacement Of The Cutter - Hitachi VB 13Y Mode D'emploi Et Instructions De Securite

2. Removing the rebar during cutting operation. (Fig. 7)
If the switch trigger is released in the middle of cutting, the cutter can come to a stop at
a halfway position, jumming the rebar in the unit.
When this occurs, you can either pull the switch trigger again and cut off the rebar, or you
can free the rebar by bringing the upper cutter back up to the home position by carrying
out the following procedure. (Fig. 7)
Removing (Fig. 8)
Set the setting dial to the "RETURN" position as shown in Fig. 8 and pull the switch
trigger again.

SERVICE LIFE AND REPLACEMENT OF THE CUTTER

1. Service life of cutter (Fig. 9)
Repeated cutting operation can inevitably wear out
the cutter blade and warp and nick blade edges. If
the cutter is continuously used with such
imperfections, the unit will be subjected to damage
and fragments may scatter out from the cutter. As
shown in Fig. 9, the cutter is equipped with blades
at two spots. Each blade can be used twice by
changing the front and back clamp faces. To avoid
the use of a worn-out blade with deformed and
nicked edges, we recommend that you change the
clamp face of the cutter after cutting no more than
2,500 rebars (standard). Otherwise, replace the
blades with a new ones.
2. Changing cutter's clamp face, and replacing.
(Fig. 10)
(1) Pull the switch lightly and let the upper cutter
move slowly. When the hexagon socket bolt
that fixes the upper cutter comes out of the cam
cover, turn the switch OFF and stop the motor.
(2) Unplug the power cord from the receptacle.
3. Removal
WARNING:
To prevent accidents, always be sure to turn the switch OFF and unplug the power cord
from the receptacle.
If you remove the hexagon socket bolt using the provided Allen key, you can remove the
cutter. (Pushing the cutter guard up in the direction of the arrow shown in Fig. 10,
facilitates removal of the upper cutter.)
4. Mounting
(1) Remove dust around the cutter mounting part with a clean soft rag.
(2) Put the cutter into the mounting part so that the cutter blades ( ) face each other.
(3) To secure the hexagon socket bolt, clamp it firmly using the Allen wrench.
