is safe for operation. Put on safety glasses and wear
protective clothing.
• Refer to the tool specifications in this manual and do
not cut rebar of size or hardness that exceeds the
cutting capacity of the tool.
• Do not cut material other than rebar. Please ask the
manufacturer if you want to cut other materials.

Cutting Procedure
WARNING
• Never use the tool without the protector in place.
Failure to do so can cause serious personal injury.
(Fig. 4)
1. Position the rebar to be cut between the blades.
(Fig. 5)
Adjust the Hold Bolt according to the diameter of the
rebar to be cut so that the rebar is at 90 degrees to the
blades. The Hold Bolt supports the rebar and keeps it
perpendicular to the blades when cutting. (Fig. 6)
WARNING
• When cutting rebar, adjust the Hold Bolt according to
the diameter of the rebar to be cut so that the rebar is
at 90 degrees to the blades. Without this adjustment,
the cut piece may fly off and cause serious injury to the
operator or bystanders. Never fail to check the position
of the operator relative to the tool and confirm the
safety of the operator and surrounding area.
2. Position the rebar to be cut so that it is fully between
the blades. (Fig. 7)
WARNING
• If the rebar to be cut is not positioned fully between the
blades, the blades will be damaged; the rebar will be
ejected violently and may cause serious personal
injury.
WARNING
• Do not cut rebar when the piece to be cut off is less
than 200 mm in length. Cutting shorter length may
cause the rebar to fly off during cut and may result in
serious personal injury. (Fig. 8)
WARNING
• Do not cut rebar when it is not properly supported by
the Hold Bolt. When cutting, hold the rebar on the Hold
Bolt side. (Fig. 9) If not, the cut piece may fly off and
cause serious injury to the operator or bystanders.
3. Push in the Switch Lock on Side A. The switch is
unlocked and the trigger can be operated.
4. Press the switch trigger to start cutting operation. The
Cutter Rod will move forward to cut the rebar. Keep
the Switch depressed until the Cutter Rod stops at the
end of its stroke.
