BENDING/CUTTING REBAR IN-PLACE
12.
The DBC-16H can be used for bending rebar in-place, protruding from a wall,
floor or column. The closest bend to the surface would be minimum of 115mm,
see drawing below. Please make sure there is adequate space for the bending and
cutting unit to complete the bend.
POINTS OF ATTENTION
1.
If hydraulic oil exceeds 70 degrees C (158 degrees F) in temperature, power
will drop.
Allow tool to cool before resuming operation.
2.
If a drop in power is observed and motor is unusually hot, check carbon-brush.
3.
If the piston should ever fail to retract completely, push the rear cutter block
backwards to manually retract the piston or check under piston to remove any
debris keeping the piston from retracting.
CAUTION:
Use a rebar or flat metal bar for this purpose.
Never push the cutter block with any part of the hand, even if gloved.
Once the piston has been retracted, pull the trigger-switch long enough to partially
advance the piston. Unplug the tool. Check the piston and housing for accumulated
dirt and iron filings that may be jamming the piston. If, after cleaning, the piston
still does not automatically retract when fully extended, the piston itself may be
damaged. Return the tool to an authorized agent for repair.
CLEANING
Clean your tool every day, preferably immediately after use.
WARNING:
To avoid accidents always disconnect the tool from the power supply
before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
CAUTION: Wear gloves to protect hands from metal splinters.
Do not use an air gun: blasting with air can cause metal filings and/or dust to get into
eyes and respiratory system.
Wipe or brush away all dirt and metal filings. Pay
particular attention to the lower half of the piston, where dirt is more easily
accumulated.
