11. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Be particularly careful to ensure that the customer understands the following precautions which are listed on the
Handling Instructions and Caution Plates attached to the main body of each tool.
(1) Do not cut and/or bend any materials other than rebar.
Avoid any work exceeding the maximum capacities of the unit described in the specifications. Otherwise, the
cutter can be damaged and the material can shatter into pieces.
(2) While turning the switch on, never put your hand close to the cutter.
For the sake of safe operation, the Model VB 13Y is designed as follows:
Cutter cover is provided.
Gear cover prevents finger access to the cutter.
Bending unit has no opening.
Bending unit is designed so that fingers cannot be inserted.
Although these safety measures are taken, the opening of the cutter must be exposed for workability.
Unintentional starting with fingers touching the cutter can cause serious injury. Never bring your hand close
to the cutter while the plug is connected to a receptacle.
(3) Make absolutely sure that the cutter cover is closed when
you are not carrying out cutting work. If the cover is kept
open, the cutter can jam on foreign objects and cause
serious accidents.
(4) Reserve an extra length of at least 120 mm (4

23/32")
on the bending length of the rebar to be bent (Fig. 9).
If the extra length is not long enough, the rebar can come
off during the bending operation, or it can break into fragments
and scatter dangerously.
(5) Begin operation only after making sure that there are no people or objects within the turning range of the
material to be bent.
(6) If the switch is turned off and then immediately turned on again, the motor may not start, as a safety
precaution. Wait for at least one full second before attempting to turn the motor on again after it has been
switched off.
(7) Note that the unit is not a hand-held tool. Be absolutely sure to use the unit only after placing it on a stable
surface such as a floor, the ground, etc.
(8) Be sure to unplug the power cord from the receptacle when the cutter is being checked, cleaned, or parts
replaced. Failure to do so can result in a serious injury.
