MB25A REBAR BENDER • OPERATION AND PARTS MANUAL — REV. #3 (11/18/08) — PAGE 11
USING THE ANGLE ADJUSTING KNOB
Depending on the diameter of the rebar and its tensile
strength, it may be necessary to "fine tune" the angle us-
ing the Angle Adjusting Knob after trial bends of a few
pieces of rebar.
1. The Angle Adjusting Knob is automatically locked when
released. Unlock the knob by pulling it hard and sliding
the knob to the right or left to adjust the angle.
2. When the desired angle is selected, release the knob.
The knob will now be automatically locked.
USING THE FOOT SWITCH
Instead of the Start Switch, the Foot Switch can be used
to start the bending process. See Figure 6.
1. Insert the plug of the foot switch to the Foot Switch
Connector on the front panel of the rebar bender.
2. Press the pedal on the foot switch to start bending.
3. When the bending angle is achieved, the roller will
automatically spring back to the start position.

1. To stop the rebar bender immediately in case anything
goes wrong in the bending process, press the
Emergency Stop Button (Figure 7). The roller on the
rebar bender will immediately stop and return to the
start position.
It is not necessary to press the pedal con-
tinuously while bending. Once the pedal is
pressed bending will start and pedal can
be released.

DANGER
During operation of this rebar bender,
there exists the possibility of
electrocution, electrical shock or burn,
which can cause
severe bodily harm or
even DEATH!
To avoid these hazards:
NEVER use damaged or worn cables when plugging
the rebar bender into an AC power
receptacle.
NEVER grab or touch a live power
cord with wet hands.
NEVER stand in water and touch a
live power cord.
WARNING
The roller goes back to start position very quickly after
bending because of the spring mechanism. Keep away
from the machine until the roller is completely back in
the start position to prevent any injury.
