Rebar Bender Safety

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

Use rebar benders on maximum Grade 60 steel reinforcing bars only. These tools are not to be used in

bending other kinds of metal or materials. Do not cut ungraded rebar.

EXERCISE PROPER CONTROL: Hold bender firmly and maintain proper footing and balance. Do not overreach. When working in a high place,

secure bender to scaffolding with a safety rope. Check that power cord is not fouled and keep cord away from sharp edges and heat. Check that all

adjusting wrenches have been removed before using bender.

GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK: To avoid possible shock, do not handle bender with wet hands or use bender in the rain or damp places.

Be aware of all power lines, electric circuits and other hazards that may be contacted, especially those that are below the surface or otherwise

hidden from view. Never attempt to pick the tool up by use of the electric cord.

UNPLUG TOOL: Disconnect bender from outlet when not in use and before cleaning, adjusting or servicing. Do not disconnect plug from outlet by

pulling the cord. Always check that the switch lock is OFF before plugging in.

MAINTAIN BENDER WITH CARE: Inspect bender before each application. Faulty or loose bender blocks could result is personal injury. Keep

handle dry, clean and free from oil and/or grease. Keep housing and piston free of dirt and iron filings. Check that no screws or bolts are loose or

missing. Follow instructions for maintenance. Inspect switch, cord, plug and any extension cable at regular intervals. It is a good idea to inspect the

housing for any cracks before operating.

DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM BENDER PRESSURE BY ADDING TO OR MODIFYING THE HYDRAULIC PUMP.

General Safety

WARNING:

Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term

"power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work Area Safety

• K

eep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

• P

ower tool plugs must match the outlet.

• Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electric shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil sharp edges or

moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable to outdoor use. Use a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock.

Personal Safety

• S

tay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under

the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection

used for ap- propriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or

plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may

result in personal in- jury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. Dress

properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long

hair can be caught in moving parts.

• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these

devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power Tool Use and Care

• D

o not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for

which it was designed.

• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must

be re- paired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or

storing power tools. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tools or these instructions to operate the

power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

4-16mm Rebar Bender – RB16B

Operation

Pre-Use Checks

1. Check oil level (See Maintenance).

2. Check that the power source is appropriate to the bender.

CARE: If voltage is too high, the motor will burn out. If voltage is too low, insufficient power will be

generated. Never use DC current.

3. Check that power supply is properly grounded.

4. Check that cord is undamaged and that plug is not loose.

5. If an extensions cable is to be used, make sure that it is undamaged and that it is the proper wire gauge

thickness for the length. See table below.

Length

110/115 50/60 Hz

Cable Size (AWG)

Up to 15mm (50 ft.) 14

Up to 30mm (100 ft.) 12

Up to 45mm (150 ft.) 10

Warm-Up

In cold weather you should warm up the tool unit for 30-60 seconds so that the hydraulic oil reaches the proper

viscosity. Pull trigger-switch to extend piston and release when it has reached its full stroke. Repeat 15-20 times.

Bending

1. Insert rebar at the front bender block, making sure that it is properly seated in the shaped support.

2. Pull trigger-switch and keep depressed while piston advances and rebar is bent. (If switch is released at an

intermediate point, piston will stop).

3. When bending is completed, release switch. Then, piston will retract by pulling lack the #23 switch by hand.

(Note that switch cannot be reactivated until piston has fully retracted).

Points of Consideration

1. Do not cover air vents or operate the tool on dirt - use a plywood base under the rebar bender to keep

armature and fan clean.

CARE: If the vents are covered, the motor will overheat and may burn out.

2. If hydraulic oil exceeds 70°C (158°F) in temperature, power will drop. Allow unit to cool before resuming

operation. (Be particularly careful in summer, when the aluminium pump case heats up quicker).

3. If a drop in power is observed and motor is unusually hot, check carbon-brushes (See Maintenance

).

Once piston has been retracted, pull trigger-switch long enough to partially advance piston. Unplug unit. Check

piston and housing for accumulated dirt and iron filings that may be jamming the piston. (See Maintenance) If,

after cleaning, piston still does not automatically retract when fully extended, the piston itself may be damaged.

4-16mm Rebar Bender – RB16B

Bleeding Your Portable Rebar Bender

You may have to bleed the hydraulics on your bender if the tool runs unusually slow or doesn't have the

pressure to bend normally. Do not run tool with low or no oil. For best results please follow these directions:

1. If piston is still moving, run the tool for 2 minutes to warm the oil inside. If the piston is not moving, add oil

before warming up for 2 minutes.

2. When the oil is warm, run the piston out just before it returns and stop.

3. Remove the oil plug and top it off with oil.

4. Make a seal with your thumb over the oil plug opening.

5. Run the tool so that it makes a complete cycle.

6. When the piston is completely retracted in the open position, gently roll your thumb to let the unwanted air

escape.

7. Repeat step #5 and #6 at least three times.

8. Add oil only when the piston is at least halfway out.

9. If you have to add additional oil, repeat #5 and #6.

10. Replace the oil plug and tighten it.

11. Make three or four bending with rebar. The machine should now be working properly.

12. Pinch a piece of rebar, stopping just before it actually bends.

13. Remove the oil plug again and top off the reserve one more time.

14. Replace the oil plug and tighten.

15. The operation is now complete.

We recommend the following 20-wieght Non-Detergent Hydraulic Oils for use with our tools (anti-foam anti-

abrasion): Tellus 68 (Shell), Rando HD 68 (Texaco) or Chevron AW 68 (Chevron).

•

Disconnect the unit. Wipe or brush away all dirt and metal filings. Pay particular attention to the lower half of

the piston, where dirt is more easily accumulated.

NEVER USE YOUR BENDER TO CUT REBAR IN WET CONCRETE.

Oil-Level Check

As the benders are hydraulically operated, the oil-level must be checked at frequent intervals, preferably every

day. Failure to maintain the oil at the proper level results in a drop in pressure and loss of cutting power.

CAUTION: • Hydraulic oil is highly flammable. Keep away from sparks and naked flame. Do not smoke. •

Hydraulic oil may cause inflammation of the eyes and skin. If ingested, it will cause diarrhea 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 induce

vomiting.

1. Oil should be warm but not hot. Warm up unit if cold.

2. Make three or four cuts, noting exactly at what point the re- bar 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, oil-plug should be straight up. (If unit is hot, allow cooling 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 if 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 68, Mobil oil DTE-25 or Esso Uni power SQ46).

7. After topping off, extract air from system. Gently tilt bender lengthwise and re- turn it to a level position. Top

off again and tilt in the opposite direction. Repeat this process until all air has been extracted.

CARE: Bender cannot function properly if oil contains air bubbles.

8. Replace seal washer (packing) and oil plug. Connect bender to power source and completely sever rebar.

Oil Change

The hydraulic oil should be changed at least once a year, sooner if it appears dirty.

NOTE: Hydraulic oil should be warm before draining.

1. Unplug unit from power source. Re-move oil-plug and packing. Turn bender 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. Unplug unit and remove oil-plug. Top off oil-level and

replace plug.

3. Finally, follow procedure for oil-level check. (Steps 2-8)

NOTE: Dispose of hydraulic oil in accordance with local regulations. Do not pour into the sea, a river, a lake or

drains.

Bolt Tightness

Once a week, or after every 500 bendings, check the tightness of all bolts; especially those bolts securing the

housing to the cylinder. Loose bolts will result in a loss of power. Make sure that the bolts holding both bender

blocks are also tight.

Carbon Brushes

Inspect the two carbon brushes at least once every two months. (Nominal brush life is 200 hours).

CARE: Worn brushes will result in power loss, cause the motor to run hot and irreparably damage the armature.

1. Disconnect unit.

2. Unscrew both brush caps and pull out carbon brushes.

3. Replace brushes if less than 6mm or1/4" in length.

Overhaul

Return the unit to an authorised agent for overhaul at least once every two years, sooner if subjected to heavy

use.
