JIMMY SERIES HYDRAULIC REBAR BENDERS — GENERAL INFORMATION

GENERAL INFORMATION

The MQ Jimmy Series Hydraulic Rebar Benders are designed to be used as portable on-site rebar benders, capable of bending in-placerebartoapprovedAmericanConcreteInstitute(ACI)radius. Labor time and injuries are greatly reduced from manually bending rebar. Bends of 90°, 135° or 180° can now be completed in seconds at the correct elevation after forms are stripped away.

With seven models to choose from, the Jimmy Series rebar benders can accommodate a wide variety of rebar angles and sizes. Please reference Tables 1 and 2 in this manual for the rebar bender that best fits your application.

Rebar Straightening

■Rebar can be straightened using JB5090, JB7090, JB8090, JB9180 and JB11090.

■NEVER straighten rebar that is bent greater than 30°. Check with building codes before straightening rebar

■Before the rebar can be straightened by the JB5090, JB7090 or JB8090, it will be necessary to replace the main roller with the straightening roller. The straightening roller is included with each of the above models from the factory.To accomplish this task remove the main shaft as outlined in Figure 14.

CAUTION
