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 Stopper (DSC162) or the Hold Bolt
(DSC191) according to the diameter of the rebar to be
cut so that the rebar is at 90 degrees to the blades.
The Stopper (DSC162) or the Hold Bolt (DSC191)
supports the rebar and keeps it perpendicular to the
blades when cutting. (Fig. 6)
WARNING
• When cutting rebar, adjust the Stopper (DSC162) or
the Hold Bolt (DSC191) 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 Stopper (DSC162) or the Hold Bolt (DSC191).
When cutting, hold the rebar on the Stopper (DSC162)
or Hold Bolt (DSC191) 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.
5. Release the switch trigger when the cut is completed
and the Cutter Rod has reached the end of its stroke.
The Cutter Rod will then return automatically to its
starting position. The Cutter Rod will not return if the
stroke is not completed. Similarly the Cutter Rod will
not be able to move forward again until after it returns
completely to its starting position. Press the switch to
start the next cut, only after the Cutter Rod completely
returns to its starting position and stops.
WARNING
• When cutting rebar of a high tensile strength the cut
piece may fly off and cause serious injury to the
operator. Wear safety glasses and confirm that the
surrounding area is safe before starting operation.
(Fig. 10)
WARNING
• Keep your hands and face away from the blades, the
moving parts and the cutting area, during operation.
Remove the Battery from the tool immediately after
use.
NOTE:
• Keep the air hole in the end of the Bar Holder clear of
dirt and debris. The air hole controls the internal
pressure and should not be obstructed. (Fig. 11)
Rotating Function of Motor (Fig. 12)
The Motor Body can be rotated through 360 degrees, in
either direction, during operation. This feature is
particularly useful when working in awkward or narrow
areas as it allows the operator to position the tool in the
best position for easy operation.
Return Valve Operation (Fig. 13)
The function of the Return Valve is to allow the Cutter Rod
to return to the starting position if it is unable complete a
cut or becomes jammed. This will release the oil pressure
and allow the Cutter Rod to return. Retighten the Return
Valve once the Cutter Rod is fully returned and before
starting the next operation.
BLADES REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE
If the cutting edges of the blades are chipped, cracked,
deformed, or damaged in any way, their cutting ability will
be reduced. Cutting under such conditions may cause
further damage and result in personal injury. The blades
should be replaced as a set immediately if any damage is
found.
WARNING
• When replacing the blades, ensure that the Battery is
removed from the tool to prevent accidental operation.
Ensure that Blade A, on the Bar Holder and Blade B, on
the Cutter Rod are fitted in their correct respective
positions. (Fig. 14)
1. Undo the bolts and the washers that hold Blade A and
Blade B.
2. Remove dirt and clean the surfaces where the new
blades are to be fitted.
3. Fit Blade A to the Bar Holder and Blade B to the Cutter
Rod. Replace bolts and washers and tighten firmly.
WARNING
• The bolts that hold Blade A and Blade B should be
tightened regularly. If the bolts become loose the
Blades may be damaged and may cause personal
injury.
