it will cause diarrhoea and vomiting.
In case of eye contact, rinse in clean water for at least 15 minutes and consult a
physician. In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
In case of ingestion, consult a physician immediately. Do not deliberately induce
vomiting.
1.Oil should be warm but not hot. Warm up unit if cold.
2.Adjust stopper and make three or four cuts, noting exactly at what point the rebar
is actually breaking.
3.Pinch a short piece of rebar, stopping just before it breaks off. Unplug unit from
power source.
4.With partially severed rebar in place, turn unit over so that oil-plug is uppermost.
(If unit is hot, allow to cool down.)
5.Remove oil-plug and seal-washer (packing)
! Caution: Never remove oil-plug when unit is hot or oil will spurt out.
6.check that oil is level with bottom of plug hole. (i.e. That pump case is full to the
brim). If oil level is too low, top up with 20-weight hydraulic oil with anti-foam and
anti-abrasion properties. (ISO viscosity grade VG46. E.g. Shell oil tellus 46, mobil
oil DTE-25 OR Esso uni power SQ46.)
7.After topping up, extract air from system. Gently tilt cutter lengthwise and return
it to a level position. Top up again and tilt in the opposite direction . Repeat this
process until all air has been extracted.
Care: Cutter can't function properly if oil contains air bubbles.
8.Replace seal washer (packing) and plug. Connect cutter to power source and
completely serve rebar.
Oil change
The hydraulic oil should be changed at least once a year. Sooner if it appears dirty.
1.Unplug unit from power source. Remove oil plug and packing. Turn cutter over
and drain oil into a suitable receptacle. When oil ceases to drain out, tilt unit to rear
so that oil trapped in the piston housing can run out. When housing is empty, tilt
unit in the opposite direction to empty the residue in the pump case.
2.With drain-hole uppermost, slowly fill the unit with fresh oil. Replace plug and
lightly tighten. Connect unit to power source and advance piston two or three times.
