3. How to install deflection guard
The deflection guard is provided to protect the
persons around the rebar cutter/bender in case a
rebar splinters into pieces and deflects during
bending. Install the deflection guard to the VB16Y
for operation with the bending length of a rebar 20"
(inside dimension of the deflection guard) or less.
(1) Insert the base of the deflection guard into the
slot of the rebar cutter/bender. (Fig. 16)
(2) Open the guard fully by pulling the arms as
shown below until a click is heard. (Fig. 17)
4. How to remove deflection guard
Reverse the installation procedure to remove
the deflection guard.
5. How to use deflection guard
(1) Be sure to install the deflection guard when
bending a rebar whose bending length and the
fixed length are 20" (inside dimensin of
deflection guard) or less (Fig. 18)
(2) Be sure to install the deflection guard when
bending a rebar whose bending length is 20"
(inside dimensin of diflection guard) or less and
the fixed length is more than 20". In this case,
move the arm at the fixed end. (Fig. 19)
(3) Remove the deflection guard when bending a rebar whose bending length and the
fixed length are more than 20" (inside dimension of the deflection guard).
