(6) Continue pulling the switch trigger untill the
motor makes reverse rotation and the bending
roller starts to return. (Once the bending roller
starts to return, it will automatically return all
the way to the home position even if the switch
trigger is released.)(Fig. 14)
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. 15)
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
specifications. Never bend any hard materials such as PC(Precast concrete) steel,
GRADE 60, etc. 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.
Install the deflection guard for operation with the bending length of a rebar 20" (inside
dimension of the deflection guard) or less to protect the persons around the rebar cutter/
bender in case rebar splinters into pieces and deflects during bending. (Fig. 18)
Remove the deflection guard when bending a rebar whose bending length and the fixed
length are more than 20" to prevent damage to the deflection guard.
Replace the deflection guard with new one if it is damaged. Damaged deflection guard
cannot protect the persons around the rebar cutter/bender in case a rebar splinters into
pieces and deflects during bending.
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 floor, ground, etc.
Two #3 (3/8") rebars can be bent at a time but the #4 (1/2") rebars can only be bent one
by one.
Begin operation only after marking sure that there are no people within the turning
range of the material to be bent.
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. 13)
Be sure to set the rebar in the roller correctly. If it protrudes from the roller, the rebar can
come off during bending operation and scatter into pieces.
