Operation Manual

3. Operang Machine
Pre-use Checks:
1. Check oil level (refer to Maintenance secon).
2. Check condion of bend module and ghtness of bend module bolt (refer to Maintenance
secon).
3. Check power supply is properly earthed.
4. Check that power cord is undamaged and plug is not loose (also applies for extension leads).
Warm Up:
In cold weather, warm up unit for 60 seconds to ensure hydraulic oil reaches proper viscosity.
Pull trigger to extend dabber and release when dabber nished full stroke. Repeat bend cycle
without rebar 15-20 mes.
Bending Procedure:
1. Insert rebar between bend module and machine head.
2. Pull and hold trigger while dabber advances and bends rebar to required angle.
3. Pull release lever to open posion once rebar has been bent (allows dabber to retract).
Note: Power will be compromised if hydraulic oil exceeds 70˚C. Allow machine to cool before resuming
operaon.
4. Maintenance
Bend Module:
Check bend module and machine head for damage before each use.
Check bend module bolt for ghtness before each use.
When using addional bend module and bend die, check bolts for ghtness before each use.
Cleaning:
Clean machine aer each use.
Use protecve gloves when cleaning to protect hands from metal splinters.
Do not use air gun as this may cause dust and metal lings to enter vents.
1. Extend dabber and disconnect from power source.
2. Wipe or brush away all dust and metal lings. Pay parcular aenon to lower half of dabber.
3. Pull release lever to complete bend cycle.
Oil Level Check:
Check oil before each use. Hydraulic oil is highly ammable; keep away from sparks and naked
ame. In case of ingeson or eye contact, consult a physician immediately.
1. Make 3-4 bends.
2. Fully bend next bit of rebar without pulling release lever. Unplug machine from power source.
3. Turn unit over so oil plug is uppermost (if machine is hot allow to cool down rst).
4. Remove oil plug and seal washer (never remove when machine is hot).
5. Check oil is level with boom of plug hole. If oil is too low, top up with approved ISO VG46 oil.
6. Remove air bubbles - gently lt bender lengthways and return to level posion. Top up and
lt bender in opposite direcon. Repeat this process unl all air has been extracted.
7. Replace seal washer and oil plug.
8. Connect to power source and pull release lever to complete cycle.
