RULES AND REGULATIONS ■ This unit is equipped with a 3-prong male power plug. DO NOT use a 2-prong adapter when plugging into a wall outlet. This will defeat the purpose of the ground circuit. If the plug does not fit into the receptacle, contact a qualified electrician to install a 3-conductor wall receptacle (outlet). ■ Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is grounded.

GENERAL INFORMATION GENERAL INFORMATION The MQ HBC19A/HBC25A Rebar Cutter is designed to be used as a portable on-site rebar cutter, capable of cutting in-place rebar safely and efficiently with the squeeze of a trigger. Labor time and injuries are greatly reduced from manually cutting rebar. The cutter can virtually handle any rebar cutting job, from slabs and masonry walls to large buildings and bridges. The rebar cutter contains a built-in hydraulic pump with innovative magnetic particle filtering.
COMPONENTS 6 5 8 HBC19A 2 3 6 7 5 HBC25A 2 8 1 3 7 4 1 4 Figure 1. HBC19A/HBC25A Components Figure 1 shows the components of the HBC19A/HBC25A Rebar Cutter. These components are described below. 1. Blade (set of two) - Cuts the rebar that is set on the holder between the blades. 2. Spacing Bolt and Nut - Allows rebar of different diameters to be cut by adjusting the space between the blades. 3. Rebar Holder - Holds the rebar to be cut. 4.
OPERATION CUTTING PROCEDURE WARNING Make sure that the bar is resting fully within the blades and protector is in the upright position. If the rebar is not properly set, the cutting piece or fragments of the rebar may scatter as soon as rebar is cut and the cutter can also be damaged. 1. Adjust the spacing bolt according to the diameter of the rebar being cut. Bolt must allow rebar to be flush, at 90° to the blades.
OPERATION RETURN VALVE 5-6 MM (1/4 INCH) Figure 4. Carbon Brush Size 1. Make sure that the power plug is not connected to the power source. Figure 3. Return Valve 2. The cutter rod will retract and return to its starting position. 3. Once the cutter rod returns to its starting position, tighten the return valve before resuming rebar cutting. 2. For the HBC19A, remove the 2 bolts holding the cover using a 4mm allen-head wrench then remove the cover to access the two carbon brush caps (one on each side).
MAINTENANCE REPLACING OIL Table 2. Oil Type The rebar cutter uses hydraulic action to operate. If there is insufficient, dirty, or improper oil in the cutter, it will not operate at full capacity. If unit is not operating properly, check oil level and condition. If necessary, replace oil as follows: 1. Loosen oil fill bolt with the supplied open-end wrench Remove oil fill bolt and lay cutter to allow to oil to drain out. See Figure 7.
MAINTENANCE Table 3. Troubleshooting Symptom Cutter rod is stuck. Possible Problem Solution Oil is insufficient? Add oil. See instructions in Maintenance section. Cutter rod did not retract completely due to reinforcement steel chips, iron powder and dir t present in the sliding por tion of the cutter rod and the bar holder? Push back cutter rod. Clean cutter rod. Cutter rod did not retract completely due to the distor tion or swelling of cutter rod blade? Tighten blade bolts.
