GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
The
MQ HBC19A/HBC25A Rebar Cutter
is designed to
be used as a portable
on-site rebar cutter, capable of cut-
ting in-place rebar safely and efficiently with the squeeze
of a trigger. Labor time and injuries are greatly reduced
from manually cutting rebar. The cutter can virtually handle
any rebar cutting job, from slabs and masonry walls to large
buildings and bridges.
The rebar cutter contains a built-in hydraulic pump with
innovative magnetic particle filtering. All parts are machined
to tight tolerances for maximum performance.
At approximately 27 to 49 pounds, the cutter is easily car-
ried around job sites. Even overhead work takes minimum
effort.
The cutting rod returns to the starting position when the
operating switch is released after the rod makes its full
cutting stroke. The cutting rod will not move if the cutting
stroke is not finished. The operating switched must be held
long enough for cutting rod to complete stroke.
The HC19A/HBC25A comes with a return valve that al-
lows the cutter rod to return to the starting position when
the cutter blade jams and stops during cutting of a rebar.
