CUTTING REBAR (Max. Tensile strength 650 N/mm²)
WARNING:
There is always a chance that the cut end may shoot out, especially if less
than 30cm in length.
Exceeding designated material specifications will greatly increase
this risk and will also damage the tool. Do not attempt to cut rebars harder, thicker or
thinner than specified for the specific tool.
DO NOT CUT SHORT PIECES: Be especially careful when cutting off short lengths
(30cm or less) as the cut end tends to fly out.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
STOPPER BOLT ADJUSTMENT
1.
The adjustable stopper functions to maintain the rebar in the correct position
during cutting and must be properly set for each size of rebar before making a cut.
Screw in the stopper to provide sufficient clearance for the rebar.
Keeping rebar at right-angles (90
°
) to front cutter block, screw out the stopper
until it is just touching the rebar. Once set, the stopper needs no further adjustment
while cutting rebars of the same diameter, but must be re-set for a different size
rebar.
WARNING:
Failure to correctly set the stopper will result in excessive wear of cutter
blocks and
may cause cut end to fly out.
This may lead to piston and cylinder
damage.
2.
Make sure the unit is plugged into the proper outlet 115V/230V 50/60Hz, (Please
check the voltage of your REBAR CUTTER.).
WARNING:
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF-position
before plugging in.
DC-20WH and DC-25X
