4.0  DESCRIPTION

The Enerpac model EFBE5017 is a fixed-head hydraulic 

cutter designed to cut flat metal bars.
The cutter contains two blades, one fixed and one 

moving. The moving blade is actuated by a hydraulic 

cylinder.
Hydraulic force is provided by an AC powered electric 

motor and an internal hydraulic pump. The pump 

provides oil flow to the hydraulic cylinder, which 

advances the cylinder piston and moving blade.
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 returns the piston to the 

fully retracted “home” position when the piston reaches 

its full stroke and the trigger is released.
See Figure 1 for a description of cutter major features 

and components. Refer to Sections 2.1 through 

2.4 of this manual for maximum cutting capacities, 

specifications and dimensions.

5.0  RECEIVING INSTRUCTIONS

Visually inspect all components for shipping damage. 

Shipping damage is not covered by warranty. If shipping 

damage is found, notify carrier at once. The carrier is 

responsible for all repair and replacement costs resulting 

from damage in shipment.
