The bar bender is an essential tool for modern construction projects. This machine lets you bend reinforcing steel bars effortlessly and quickly, saving time and eliminating waste. At RAPIDTOOL Australia, we offer the best range of bar bending machines that can bend the heaviest rebar at accurate angles in approximately 2.5 seconds.
It’s important to have the right rebar bender and operate it safely and correctly for optimum efficiency and productivity. Here are dos and don’ts when choosing and operating bar bending machines:
Do you know the steel bars you’re working with?
How thick and heavy are the steel bars you regularly work with? This is important as we offer bar benders in different sizes to correspond with the rebar you’re using. The right size will ensure efficient and accurate bends and prolong the machine’s lifespan.
Our ERB-16 Electric Rebar Bender can bend 4-16mm steel bars to a 90-degree angle in approximately 5 seconds. We also offer industrial rebar benders that can bend 6-25mm or 6-32mm steel bars.
Don’t forget to read the user manual.
A RAPIDTOOL bar bender may be user-friendly and intuitive to use, but we recommend taking the time to read our instruction manual. It has everything you must know about using our tools safely and correctly, as well as proper care and maintenance. All this will contribute to safety and a longer lifespan for your tool.
Do wear proper safety gear
Bar bending machines might make the task safer and more effortless, but that doesn’t mean you should skip wearing personal protective equipment. So, make sure you don the essentials, such as ear and eye protection, hard hat, gloves, and non-skid safety shoes.
Don’t make adjustments or replacements without turning it off
If you need to reconfigure the bar bender or change its bending pins, turn it off and disconnect the plug. Cutting off the power prevents accidental operation and reduces the risk of injury.
