RULES AND REGULATIONS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
■
ALWAYS test the
POWER
switch on the equipment before
operating. The purpose of this switch is to shut down the
power.
■
NEVER use a extension cord that is frayed or damaged
where the insulation has been cut.
■
NEVER carry the equipment by its power cord or
disconnect it by yanking the cord from the power outlet.
■
ALWAYS make certain that the proper extension cord
has been selected for the job. See Extension Cord
Gauge Selection Table.
■
NEVER allow power cord to

while operating the equipment.
sure the receptacle circuit is connected to either a GFCI
receptacle or a receptacle protected by a 20 amp circuit
breaker.
■
When plugging the unit into a power receptacle, check
the nameplate for the correct operating voltage.
Operating the rebar bender at the wrong voltage will
damage the electrical components. ALWAYS read the
nameplate before applying power.
■
This unit is equipped with a 3-prong male power plug.
DO NOT use a 2-prong adapter when plugging into a
wall outlet. This will defeat the purpose of the ground
circuit. If the plug does not fit into the receptacle, contact
a qualified electrician to install a 3-conductor wall
receptacle (outlet).
■
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electrical shock if your body is
grounded.
■
DO NOT expose the hydraulic power unit to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering the power unit will increase
the risk of electrical shock.
■
When operating the unit outdoors, be sure to use the
appropriate outdoor extension cord. This type of
extension cord reduces the risk of electrical shock.
■
ALWAYS remove the AC power cord from the power
source before performing any service or maintenance
on the unit. This preventative safety measure reduces
the possibility of accidental starting.
When operating near an arc welder, it is important the
both the unit and the welding equipment be connected
to the same earth ground. If they are not, server damage
to the unit, particularly to the power cord could occur.
Personal injury may also occur.

At approximately 27 to 49 pounds, the cutter is easily carried around job sites. Even overhead work takes minimum
effort.
The cutting rod returns to the starting position when the
operating switch is released after the rod makes its full
cutting stroke. The cutting rod will not move if the cutting
stroke is not finished. The operating switched must be held
long enough for cutting rod to complete stroke.
