Operating procedure
3. Push in the Switch Lock on Side A. The switch is unlocked
and the trigger can be operated.
4. Press the Trigger Switch to start cutting operation. The
Cutter Rod will move forward to cut the rebar. Keep the
Switch depressed until the Cutter Rod stops at the end of
its stroke.
5. Release the Trigger Switch when the cut is completed and
the Cutter Rod has reached the end of its stroke. The Cutter
Rod will then return automatically to its starting position. The
Cutter Rod will not return if the stroke is not completed.
Similarly the Cutter Rod will not be able to move forward
again until after it returns completely to its starting position.
Press the switch to start the next cut, only after the Cutter
Rod completely returns to its starting position and stops.
Note: If the machine temperature reaches to 70 deg. C or
higher, cutting operation should be stopped to allow the
machine to cool down.
If the rebar to be cut is not positioned fully between the
blades, the blades will be damaged; the rebar will be
ejected violently and may cause serious personal injury.
WARNING
Do not cut rebar when it is not properly supported by the
Stopper (HCC-16DF) or the Hold Bolt (HCC-19DF). When
cutting, hold the rebar on the Stopper (HCC-16DF) or Hold
Bolt (HCC-19DF) side, as shown in the figure on the left. If
not, the cut piece may fly off and cause serious injury to the
operator or bystanders.
WARNING
2. Position the rebar to be cut so that it is fully between the
blades as shown in the figure on the left.
Do not cut rebar when the piece to be cut off is less than 200
mm in length. Cutting shorter length may cause the rebar to
fly off during cut and may result in serious personal injury.
When cutting rebar, adjust the Stopper (HCC-16DF) or the
Hold Bolt (HCC-19DF) according to the diameter of the
rebar to be cut so that the rebar is at 90 degrees to the
blades as shown in the figure on the left. Without this
adjustment, the cut piece may fly off and cause serious
injury to the operator or bystanders. Never fail to check the
position of the operator relative to the tool and confirm the
safety of the operator and surrounding area.
