Maintenance
⚠
WARNING
•
Wear gloves to protect hands from metal splinters. Do not use an air-gun. Blasting with air can cause
metal filings and or dust to get into eyes and respiratory system.
•
Hydraulic oil is 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 last 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.
•
Clean the machine daily. If possible, clean it right after use.
•
After adjusting the stopper, test a rebar by cutting it 3 or 4 times. Pay attention to which part of the
rebar is cut.
•
Once a week or every 500 cuttings, check out the tightness of all bolts. Make sure to check the
bolts which attach the housing to the cylinder. The loosened bolts may weaken the operating
power of the machine.
•
Every two months (at least) check both carbon brushes. (The usual lifespan of a carbon brush is
200 hours of operation.) Worn brushes will create power loss, causing the motor to run hot and
damage the armature.
•
It is suggested that you replace the hydraulic fluid every six months. If it is dirty, change it sooner.
o
Turn off the power.
o
Loosen (about 10m/m) the hexagon bolt, which is part of the left handle on the motor side.
Turn the bolt face downward and release the oil until only oil drops are coming out.
o
Set the machine up and inject oil through the hexagon bolt hole. When oil is shown
through the bolt hole, place the plug on. Replenish oil by blocking the bolt hole with a
finger and advancing the piston.
o
Keep the interval between cutter blades at least 5 to 7 m/m. It’s full when the level
reaches the bolt hole. Attach the bolt.
•
How to be sure the oil level is full:
o
After operating the machine 4 or 5 times, check to see if the advancing speed of the
machine is even, especially in the front of the machine.
o
If the oil is not completely full, the power may decrease during the last minute of the
cutting process.
