Specicaons & Parts secon).
7. Hold bender rmly and maintain proper foong and balance. Do not use at heights.
8. Never operate machine in wet or damp condions.
9. Never aempt to service machine (other than general maintenance procedures outlined in
Maintenance secon). Contact supplier if issues arise.
10. Only use RAPIDTOOL approved spare parts and accessories with machine.
11. Do not bend short lengths.
12. Keep away from sparks and naked ames.
13. Always check power cord for damage and safe placement prior to use.
14. Disconnect bender from power outlet when not in use.
15. Inspect bender before each use (refer to Maintenance secon). Do not use when quality has
been compromised.
16. Do not cover air vents on machine.
17. Store out of reach of children.
2. Specicaons & Parts
Power Supply:
Ensure machine is connected to correct power supply (check machine label to conrm power
supply).
Extension Leads:
Where possible, connect machine directly to power outlet. If an extension lead is required,
ensure lead is under 35m in length. Minimum extension lead diameter are prescribed below:
Extension Lead
Length (m) Min Wire ø (mm²)
25m 1.0
35m 1.5
Machine Head
Bend Module
Addional Bend Module
Addional Bend Die
Bend Module Bolt
Machine Handle
Release Lever
Oil Plug
Reference Bolt
Dabber
Pump Case
Motor Housing
Brush Caps
Note: Reference bolt can be used as a reference
point against bend module posion during bending.
Installing Addional Bend Module and Bend Die
1. Disconnect from power supply.
2. Unfasten bend module bolt and remove exisng bend module.
3. Fit addional bend module over dabber and securely fasten addional bend module bolt
(bolt must line up with groove in dabber).
4. Fit addional bend die over exisng machine head and securely fasten addional bend die bolt.

3. Operang Machine
Pre-use Checks:
1. Check oil level (refer to Maintenance secon).
2. Check condion of bend module and ghtness of bend module bolt (refer to Maintenance
secon).
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 posion 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
operaon.
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 addional bend module and bend die, check bolts for ghtness before each use.
Cleaning:
Clean machine aer each use.
Use protecve 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 parcular aenon 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 ingeson 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 boom 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 posion. Top up and
lt bender in opposite direcon. Repeat this process unl all air has been extracted.
7. Replace seal washer and oil plug.
8. Connect to power source and pull release lever to complete cycle.
Oil Change:
Change oil at least once a year or sooner if it appears dirty.
1. Unplug machine from power source.
2. Turn unit over so oil plug is uppermost (if machine is hot allow to cool down rst).
3. Remove oil plug and seal washer (never remove when machine is hot).
4. Turn bender over and drain oil into a suitable receptacle. When oil ceases to drain, lt
machine to rear to allow oil trapped in piston housing to drain out. When housing is empty,
lt unit in the opposite direcon to empty the residue in the pump case.
5. Once all oil has been drained from the machine, turn unit over so oil plug is uppermost.
6. Slowly ll the machine with fresh oil and replace seal washer and oil plug.
7. Connect machine to power source and follow procedure for Oil Level Check.
Note: Dispose of hydraulic oil in accordance with local regulaons.
Bolt Tightness:
All bolts should be checked for ghtness on a weekly basis or aer every 500 bends (whichever
comes rst).
Carbon Brushes:
Inspect carbon brushes on a monthly basis. Worn brushes will result in power loss and cause
irreparable damage to the armature’s commutator. Check brushes immediately if a loss of power
or electrical fault is experienced.
Replacing Carbon Brushes:
1. Unplug machine from power source.
2. Locate the brush caps on both sides near the back of the motor housing.
3. Open the brush caps with a screwdriver and remove carbon brushes from the machine.
4. Inspect the carbon brushes and replace where worn or damaged.
5. Reinstall new carbon brushes and brush caps securely.
