POWER UNIT TRANSPORTING ( Electric-Hydraulic Pump)
■ When transporting of the power unit (pump) is required,
ALWAYS carry unit by its handle.
■ ALWAYS wrap power and remote cable cords neatly to
avoid tripping and damage when transporting.
MAINTENANCE
■ NEVER lubricate components or attempt service on a
operational rebar bender.
■ ALWAYS maintain rebar bender in correct operating
condition.
■ ALWAYS fix damage to the rebar bender immediately
and always replace broken parts. Replace with only MQ
recommended parts.
EMERGENCIES
■ ALWAYS know the location of the nearest fire
extinguisher and first aid kit.
■ In emergencies always know the location of the
nearest phone or keep a phone on the job site.
Also know the phone numbers of the nearest
ambulance, doctor and fire department. This
information will be invaluable in the case of an
emergency.
JIMMY SERIES HYDRAULIC REBAR BENDERS — RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
■ ALWAYS test the ON/OFF switch on the hydraulic power
unit before operating. The purpose of this switch is to shut
down the rebar bender.
■ NEVER use a extension cord that is frayed or damaged
where the insulation has been cut.
■ NEVER carry the hydraulic power unit by its power cord
or disconnect it by yanking the cord from the power outlet.
■ ALWAYS make certain that the proper extension cord
has been selected for the job. See Table 5.
■ NEVER allow power cord to lay in water.
■ NEVER stand in water while operating the rebar bender.
■ When connecting the hydraulic power unit to a power
receptacle, make sure the receptacle circuit is connected
to either a GFCI receptacle or a receptacle protected by
a 20 amp circuit breaker.
■ When plugging the hydraulic power unit into a power
receptacle, check the nameplate for the correct operating
voltage. Operating the rebar bender at the wrong voltage
will damage the electrical components. ALWAYS read
the nameplate before applying power.
■ This hydraulic power unit is equipped with a 3-prong male
power plug. DO NOT use a 2-prong adapter when plugging
into a wall outlet. This will defeat the purpose of the ground
circuit. If the plug does not fit into the receptacle, contact
a qualified electrician to install a 3-conductor wall
receptacle (outlet).
■ Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
■ DO NOT expose the hydraulic power unit to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering the power unit will increase
the risk of electrical shock.
■ When operating the hydraulic power unit outside, be sure
to use the appropriate outdoor extension cord. This type
of extension cord reduces the risk of electrical shock.
■ ALWAYS remove the AC power cord from the power
source before performing any service or maintenance on
the rebar bender. This preventative safety measure
reduces the possibility of accidental starting.
