● 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.
● The cutter blade can get worn out by repeated rebar
cutting. Continued use of a worn-out cutter can
result in the damage and the broken pieces flying
around. Replace it with a new cutter after no more
than 5,000 times of cutting.
● The machine is so designed that the upper cutter
and the grip rubber can support a rebar.
If the grip rubber gets worn out, there is a fear that
it cannot sufficiently hold the rebar and gets broken
down with its parts flying around, etc.
If the grip rubber cannot hold the rebar much
longer, replace it with a new grip rubber. Also
replace the worn grip rubber with new one when
replacing the cutter.
● During cutting work, securely hook the rebar to the
reaction stopper B. Furthermore, secure enough
length of a rebar to be hooked to the reaction
stopper B.
● Avoid bringing your hand near to the reaction
stopper B during operation. If you do so, you may
get your finger caught in or may run the hazard of
other injuries.
● Set the rebar in the center or the recess of the cutter
during cutting work. Any cutting work with the
rebar set on corners or ends of the cutter can result
in the pieces of broken rebar flying around or the
damage to the cutter and the machine.
