3. Operating Machine
Pre-use Checks:
1. Check oil level (refer to Maintenance section).
2. Check condition of cutter blocks and tightness of cutter block bolts (refer to Maintenance
section).
3. Check power supply is properly earthed.
4. Check that power cord is undamaged and plug is not loose (also applies for extension leads).
Warm Up:
In cold weather, warm up unit for 60 seconds to ensure hydraulic oil reaches proper viscosity.
Pull trigger and repeat cut cycle without material 15-20 times.
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.
Cutting Procedure:
1. Insert rebar between stopper and front cutter block, making sure it is properly seated in
U-shaped support.
2. Pull and hold trigger while cutter rod advances and fully cuts rebar.
3. Release trigger only once rebar has been fully cut to allow cutter rod to retract.
Note:
Power will be compromised if hydraulic oil exceeds 70˚C. Allow machine to cool before
resuming operation.
4. Maintenance
Cutter Blocks:
Check cutter blocks for damage before each use. If cutter block is damaged, replace block before
next use as per following diagram:
Check cutter block bolts for tightness before each use. Use protective gloves when handling
cutter blocks as edges are very sharp.
