Please read these instructions carefully before using the machine.
We strongly recommend that you ask for assistance from your retailer, who is
authorised to give you all the advice you need to use the machine properly and
achieve a good output.
It will take a day’s use to acquire a sound knowledge of how to operate
the machine.
Charger the battery for at least 3 hours before starting your first day’s work.
(See chapter P9 battery recharge).
Disconnect the machine from its battery for all operations apart from tying.
Always keep your hands well away from the tying head when the machine is in
operation.
We strongly recommend that, for safety and practical reasons, you use the case
provided for carrying the machine and the battery in the workplace.

The tying head should be in the working position before switching on.
Connect the battery exit cable 01 to the machine supply cable 02.
The machine is switched on.
Short pressure on the switch 03 will control only the wire cutting function (zone 04).
Sustained pressure will launch the complete tying cycle (See chapter “Making a tie”).

The wire needs to be prepared to make it easier to feed through
the machine.
Cut the end to obtain a wire with no
bends in it.
Clip the lever 01 upwards.

Smoothe the wire for at least 40 cm.
Clip the reel on to the machine
between cheeks 01 and 02.

LOADING THE REEL
01

Insert the wire into hole 01. Keep on feeding the wire through
until it emerges from the tying head 01.
If you come up against an obstacle
during insertion, move the wire gent-
ly backwards and forwards and/or
press once or twice the control switch
to pivot the tying head and to keep
the wire moving through the ma-
chine.
IF THE WIRE STILL DOESN’T COME
OUT: we recommend that you dis-
connect the tying head (See chapter
“Operating problems” P16), check
that the wire isn’t stuck and try to in-
sert it with the head removed
Unclip the brake system lever 01.
At the start of each reel, check
that the wire is properly rolled and
doesn’t stick between cheeks 02 and
03.
Switch the machine on and press
briefly on the control switch to cut
the excess wire.
You can now start tying operations.

REMOVING THE REEL
Clip lever 01 upwards to allow the
wire free movement through the
passage
Pull directly on the reel to unclip it from
the machine.
Pull the reel to unclip it from the
machine
Carry out a visual check on wire exit
01 to ensure that there is no wire
remaining in the machine.
After the last tying operation it is
possible that some wire may remain
stuck in the tying head:
• If it does not prevent you from loa-
ding another reel, carry on working.
It will come out during tying, usually
without a problem.
• If it does prevent you from feeding
a new wire through, disconnect the
head and remove the remaining
wire by hand (See chapter “Solving
operating problems”).
