Use rebar cutters on concrete re-forcing bars only.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Restrict use to designated materials.
There is always a chance that the cut end may shoot out, especially if less than 30cm in length. Exceeding
designated material specications greatly increases this risk and will also damage the tool. Do not attempt
to cut rebars. Harder, thicker or thinner than those specied.
Use eye protection. Wear safety goggles, safety glassed with side shields or a face shield when using
cutter.
Exercise proper control. Hold cutter rmly and maintain proper footing and balance. Do not over-reach
when working in high place , secure cutter to scaffolding with a safety rope. Check that power cord is not
fouled and keep cord away from sharp edges and heat. Check that all adjusting wrenches have been
removed before using cutter.
Guard Against electric shock. To avoid possible electric shock, do not handle cutter with wet hands or
use cutter in the rain or damp places. Be aware of all power lines, electric circuits and other hazards that
may be contacted, especially those that are below the surface or otherwise hidden from view.
Unplug the tool. Disconnect cutter from outlet when not in use and before cleaning, adjusting or
servicing. Do not disconnect plug from outlet by pulling the cord. Always check that the switch lock if
OFF before plugging in.
Provide safety barriers. Erect safety screens to protect co-workers from possible ying ends. Place
safety screen under the rebar when working in high places.
Beware of the environment. Do not use cutter in the presence of ammable materials (e.g. Paint,
thinner, petroleum products, adhesives). Do not use cutter in a possibly lighted and clear of obstructions.
Operator should at all times have an unobstructed view of the cutter, rebar and surrounding area.
Wear proper apparel
SAVE THESE WARNINGS
Do not wear loose clothes, dangling objects or jewellery. Restrain hair. The use of a safety-helmet and
rubber soled boots is ecommended . If safety gloves are worn, be especially careful that gloves does not
get caught in moving parts.
Maintain the cutter with care inspect the cutter before each application. Faulty or loose cutter blocks ould
result in personal injury. Keep handle dry, clean and free from il and/or grease. Keep housmg and piston
free of dirt and iron lings. Check that no screws or bolts are loose or missing. Inspect switch, cord,plug
and any extension cable at regular intervals.

PRE-OPERATION
SPECIFICATIONS
OPERATION
Pre-use checks
1. Check oil level.
2. Check condition of cutter blocks and tightness of cutter block bolts.
Caution: Using loose or cracked cutter blocks may result in injury to operators as well as damage to unit.
3. Check that the power source is appropriate for the cutter. If voltage is too high, the motor will bum out. If
the voltage is too low, insufcient power will be generated. Never use DC current.
4. Check that power supply is properly earthed. Caution: Failure to earth power supply may result in
electric shock
5. Check that cord is undamaged and that plug is not loose. Caution: Cut or abraded covering could result in
a short and electric shock to operator. If an extension cable is to be used, make sure that it is undamaged
and that it is the proper thickness for the length.
Warm-up Stopper adjustment. The adjustable stopper function to maintain the rebar in tln cold weather,
warm up unit for 30-60 seconds so that the hydraulic oil reaches the proper viscosity. Pull trigger -switch to
extend piston and release when it has reached its full stroke, Repeat 15-20 times.

OPERATION / MAINTENANCE
The correct position during cutting and must be properly set for each rebar before making a cut.
Screw in stopper to provide sufcient clearance for rebar. Insert rebar fully into U-shaped support.
Make sure that rebar is resting on the base of the stopper. Keeping rebar at right angels (90 °) to front
cutter block, screw out the stopper until it is just touching the rebar. Once set, the stooper needs no
further adjustment while cutting rebar of the same diameter, but must be re-set for a different size rebar.
Caution: Failure to correctly set the stopper will result in excessive wear of the cutter block and may cause
the cut end to y out.
CUTTING
Insert rebar between stopper and front cutter block, making sure that it is properly seated in U-shaped support..
Pull the trigger switch and keep depressed while piston advances and rebar is cut. If the switch is released at
an intermediate point, the piston will stop. When the cut is completed, release the switch. The Piston retracts
automatically. Note that the switch can’t be re-activated until piston has fully retracted.
Be especially careful when cutting off short lengths (11.5 inches or less) the cut end tends to y out at shorter
lengths.
Caution: Flying ends are a hazard to all personnel in the vicinity.
Do not cover air vents. If events are covered, the motor will overheat and may burn out.
If hydraulic oil exceeds (158 F) in temperature the power will drop.
Insert rebar between stopper and front cutter block, making sure that it is properly seated in U-shaped support..
Pull the trigger switch and keep depressed while piston advances and rebar is cut. If the switch is released at
an intermediate point, the piston will stop. When the cut is completed, release the switch. The Piston retracts
automatically. Note that the switch can’t be re-activated until piston has fully retracted. Allow until to cool before
resuming operation. (Be particularly careful in summer, when the aluminum pump case heats up quicker.)
If a drop in power is observed and motor is unusually hot, check carbon brush.
If piston should ever fail to retract completely, push rear cutter block backwards to manually retract piton.
Caution: Use a rebar or at metal bar for this purpose. Never push cutter block with any part of the hand,
even if gloved. Once piston has been retracted , pull trigger-switch long enough to partially advance piston.
Unplug unit. And check piston and housing for accumulated dust iron lings that may be jamming the piston.
After cleaning, piston still does not automatically retract when fully extended, the piston itself may be damaged.
Return the unit to an authorized agent for repair.
MAINTENANCE
Cutter blocks: Before using, always check that the two bolts on each cutter block are properly
tightened. Using a loose block will result in damage to block and housing. Also check condition of
cutter blocks. If either cutting edge is dull or chipped, remove retaining bolts and rotate both blocks
so that two new edges come into use. Replace and tighten bolts (each block has four cutting edges)
When all four cutting edges have been used or if either block is cracked or otherwise damaged, replace both
block.
CLEANING
Caution: Wear gloves to protect hands from metal splinters. Do not use an air-gun, blasting with air can cause
metal ling and/or dust to get into eyes and respiratory system.
Disconnect the unit and wipe or brush away all dirt and metal lings. Pay particular attention to the lower half
of the piston, where dirt is more easily accumulated.

MAINTENANCE
OIL LEVEL CHECK
The cutters are hydraulically operated, the oil level must be checked at frequent intervals, preferably every
day. Failure to maintain the oil at the proper level results in a drop in pressure and loss of cutting power.
Caution: Hydraulic oil is highly ammable. Keep away from sparks nd naked ame. Do not smoke.
Caution: Hydraulic oil may cause inammation of the eyes and skin . If ingested, it will cause diarrhea and
vomiting.
In case of eye contact, rinse in clean water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician. In case of skin
contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
In case of ingestion, consult a physician immediately. Do not deliberately induce vomiting.
Adjust stopper and make three or four cuts, noting exactly at what point the rebar is actually breaking.
Pinch a short piece of rebar, stopping just before it breaks off. Unplug unit from power source. With partially
severed rebar in place, tum unit over so that oil-plug; uppermost. (If unit is hot, allow to cool down.) Remove
oil-plug and seal-washer (packing)
CAUTION: Never remove oil-plug when unit is hot or oil will spurt out. Check that oil is level with bottom of
plug hole (i.e. That pump case is full to the brim). If oil level is too low, top up with 20-weight hydraulic il with
anti-foam and anti-abrasion properties. (ISO viscosity grade ‘G46. E.g. Shell oil tellus 46, mobil oil DTE-25
OR Esso uni power Q46.) After topping up, extract air from system. Gently tilt cutter lengthwise and return it
to a level position. Top up again and tilt in the opposite direction . Repeat this process until all air has been
extracted.
Care: Cutter can’t function properly if oil contains air bubbles.
Replace seal washer (packing) and plug. Connect cutter to power source and completely serve rebar. The
hydraulic oil should be changed at least once a year. Sooner if it appears dirty. Unplug unit from power
source. Remove oil plug and packing. Turn cutter over and drain oil into a suitable receptacle. When oil
ceases to drain out, tilt unit to rear so that oil trapped in the piston housing can run out. When housing is
empty, tilt unit in the opposite direction to empty the residue in the pump case.
OIL CHANGE
1. With drain-hole uppermost, slowly ll the unit with fresh oil. Replace plug and lightly tighten. Connect unit
to power source and advance piston two or three times. Unplug unit and remove oil-plug . Top up oil level
and replace plug.
2. Finally follow procedure for oil level check.
Note: Dispose of hydraulic oil in accordance with local regulations. Do not pour into the sea, river, lake or
drains.
BOLT TIGHTNESS
Once a week or after every 500 cuts, check the tightness of all bolts, especially those securing the housing
to the cylinder. Loose bolts will result in a loss of power.
CARBON BRUSHES Inspect the two carbon brushes at least once every two months
Care: Worn brushes will result in power loss, cause the motor to run hot and irreparably damage the armature’s
commutator.
Disconnect the unit and unscrew both brush caps and pull out the carbon brushed. Replace the brushes if
less than 2.3 inches in length.
