4. Operating Machine General notes: Machine is equipped with an emergency stop button. Ensure pedal switch cords are securely fastened to inputs (if pedal switch required). Always ensure point 1 angle is set at least 5 degrees higher than point 2 angle. Ensure angle control dials are securely fastened. Wait until bending cycle is completed before starting new cycle. If pedal switches are not required, press the start switch to bend to point 1 angle. Pre-use Checks 1. Check power supply is properly earthed.
. Maintenance Always ensure power is disconnected before performing maintenance. Cleaning: Always wear gloves to protect hands from metal splinters when cleaning. Wipe or brush away all dust and metal filings (can use compressed air). Carbon Brushes: Inspect carbon brushes monthly. Worn brushes will result in power loss and cause irreparable damage to the armature’s commutator. Check brushes immediately if a loss of power or electrical fault is experienced. Replacing Carbon Brushes: 1.
Additional Instructions for Rebar Cutter (Rebar Bender/Cutter Model) 1. Safety 1. Keep body parts well clear of cutting blocks when machine is switched on. 2. Never attempt to cut rebar outside of models prescribed diameter range (refer to table in Specifications & Parts section). 3. Do not cut short lengths. 4. Inspect cutter before each use (refer to Maintenance section). Do not use when quality has been compromised. 5. Beware of ejected objects during the cutting process.
3. Operating Machine Pre-use Checks: Check condition of cutter blocks and tightness of cutter block bolts (refer to Maintenance section). Warm Up: In cold weather, warm up cutter by repeating cut cycle for 60 seconds to ensure hydraulic oil reaches proper viscosity. Stopper Adjustment: Adjustable stopper must be set in correct position dependent on size of rebar. 1. Insert rebar into U-shaped support. 2. Keeping rebar at 90⁰ to machine, screw in stopper until it is just touching the rebar.
Cleaning: Clean machine after each use. Use protective gloves when cleaning to protect hands from metal splinters. Do not use air gun as this may cause dust and metal filings to enter vents. 1. Extend cutter rod and disconnect from power source. 2. Wipe or brush away all dust and metal filings. Pay particular attention to lower half of cutter rod. 3. Connect to power source and press pedal switch to complete cut cycle. Oil Level Check: Check oil every 2 months or if loss of power apparent in rebar cutter.
