Removing (Fig. 8)
Set the setting dial to the “RETURN” position as
shown in Fig. 8 and pull the switch trigger again.
SERVICE LIFE AND REPLACEMENT OF THE CUTTER
1. Service life of cutter (Fig. 9)
Repeated cutting of the rebar can result in the
"wear and tear", "deformation", "nicked edges",
etc. Using the cutter under such circumstances will
not only damage the machine but also there will be
a fear of the broken cutter fragments flying around.
Replace it with a new cutter after cutting no more
than 5,000 pieces of rebar.
2. Before removing the cutter
(1) Pull the switch lightly and let the upper cutter
move slowly. When the hexagon socket bolt
that fixes the upper cutter comes out of the cam
cover, turn the switch OFF and stop the motor.
(2) Unplug the power cord from the receptacle.
3. Removal
If you remove the hexagon socket bolt using the
provided Allen key, you can remove the cutter.
(Pushing the cutter guard up in the direction of
the arrow shown in Fig. 10, facilitates removal
of the upper cutter.)
Removal of the lower cutter can be easily made
if the lower cutter is wrenched with a Phillips
head screwdriver as shown in the following
diagram. (Fig. 11)
WARNING:
To prevent accidents, always be sure to turn the
switch OFF and unplug the power cord from the
receptacle.
If you remove the hexagon socket bolt using the
provided Allen key, you can remove the cutter.
(Pushing the cutter guard up in the direction of the
arrow shown in Fig. 10, facilitates removal of the
upper cutter.)
