Inspect rebar straightener before each use. Faulty or
loose bending hook could possibly result in personal
injury. Keep handle dry, clean and free from oil and/
or grease. Keep housing and piston free of dirt and
iron filings. Check that no screws or bolts are loose
or missing. Follow all instructions for maintenance.
Inspect switch, cord, plug and any extension cable at
regular intervals.
STORE CAREFULLY
When not in use, store rebar straightener and its acces-
sories in a dry place where they cannot be accessed by
anyone but the operators.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Check the oil level.
Check that the power source is appropriate to the rebar
straightener.
CARE- If voltage is too high, the motor will burn out,
if voltage is too low, insufficient power will be gener
-
ated.
NEVER USE DC CURRENT OR
AC HIGHER THAN 110V
Check that the power supply is properly earthed.
CAUTION- Failure to properly earth the power supply
may result in a shock to the operator.
Check that the cord is undamaged and that the plug is
not loose.
CAUTION- Cut or abraded covering could result in a
short and electric shock to the operator.
If an extension cord is to be used, make sure that it is
undamaged and that it is the proper thickness for the
