Size of rebar
#3(3/8")
#4(1/2")
#5(5/8")
NOTE: Even at the same dial setting position, the bending angle can sometimes differ if
the diameter or hardness of the rebar is different. Use the angle marks merely as a
rough guideline.
2. Ordinary bending
(1) Set the unit in the position with the turntable
up as shown in Fig. 14.
(2) Make sure that the cover is closed.
(3) Set the setting dial at the desired angle. (Fig.
13)
(4) Place the rebar on the center plate and set it
correctly as shown in Fig. 14.
(5) Pull the switch trigger and bent the rebar.
(6) Continue pulling the switch trigger untill the
motor makes reverse rotation and the bending
roller starts to return. (Once the bending roller
starts to return, it will automatically return all
the way to the home position even if the switch
trigger is released.)(Fig. 15)
WARNING:
Make absolutely sure that the cutter cover is
closed when you don't carry out the cutting work.
If the cover is kept open, the cutter can jam on
foreign objects and cause serious accidents. (Fig.
16)
Never bring your hand close to the bending roller
during operation.
If you bend the rebar with a large angle while
placing your hand onto it, there is a fear of getting
your hand caught in by the fold-back reaction of
the rebar. Never place your hand onto the position
where the rebar may fold back.
Do not bend any rebar exceeding the maximum
capacities of the unit described in the
specifications. Never bend any hard materials
such as PC(Precast concrete) steel. Materials of
this type are likely to scatter into pieces and cause
injuries.
The rebar you are bending may have a hard spot
in it. Quality may vary within each bar. Do not
attempt to bend NON-GRADE Rebar.
