4.0  DESCRIPTION

The Enerpac cordless bar cutters, models EBC20B and 

EBC20E, are designed to cut round, square or flat metal 

bars and other similar items.
These cutters contain t

wo blades, one fixed and one 

moving. The moving blade is actuated by a hydraulic 

cylinder.
Power is supplied by an 18 or 20 volt lithium-ion battery 

(varies by region). The battery powers a DC electric 

motor, which drives a small hydraulic gear pump. The 

pump provides oil flow to the hydraulic cylinder, which 

advances the cylinder piston.
A hydraulic reservoir with built-in rubber diaphragm 

provides a constant supply of oil to the pump, regardless 

of tool orientation or the amount of piston extension.
A trigger-style on-off switch, mounted on the cutter grip, 

starts and stops the electric motor. The trigger must 

remain pressed during the cutting process.

An automatic retract feature moves the piston to the 

fully retracted “home” position when the piston reaches 

its full stroke and the trigger is released.
A built-in blade safety guard provides protection from 

splintered material during cutting and helps prevent 

contact with the blades.
The rotatable cutting head can be turned 360 degrees, 

allowing it to be positioned as needed for added 

convenience.
See Figure 1 for a description of cutter major features 

and components. Refer to Sections 2.1 through 

2.6 of this manual for maximum cutting capacities, 

specifications and dimensions.
