1. Adjust the spacing bolt so the
piece of rebar to be cut sets flush
at a 90-degree angle to the shear
blades.
2. Set the steel bar on the bar holder
between the blades, making sure
the bar sets fully between the
blades. Do not attempt to cut the
bar partially as this will cause
damage to the blades.
3. Place the protective shield over
the cutting blades.
