Operating procedure
4. Pull 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 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. Pull the switch to start the next cut, only
after the Cutter Rod completely returns to its starting
position and stops.
Do not cut rebar when it is not properly supported by the
Hold Bolt or if the Hold Bolt is not properly adjusted. When
cutting, hold the rebar on the Hold Bolt 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
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.
WARNING
When cutting rebar of a high tensile strength the cut piece
may fly off and cause serious injury to the operator. Wear
safety glasses and confirm that the surrounding area is
safe before starting operation.
