3. Do not use the tool without closing the reel
cover. O th erw ise, th e w ire reel may c ome of f and
c ause an ac c id ent.
4 . Be sure to check that the diameters of rebars
to be tied are within the tool capacity before
beginning work.

12 ENGLISH
5 . Wear clothes that have close-tting hemlines
and sleeves. Do not work with a towel or other
object wrapped around your neck. O th erw ise,
th ey may get c augh t in th e rotating part and c ause

• Check that no parts are damaged
• Check that no bolts are loose
• Check that safety devices operate
normally
7. If any abnormalities are found, stop using the
tool immediately. Do not repair the tool by
yourself. Ask your local Makita Service Center
for repairs. I f th e tool is used in an inc omplete
state, an ac c id ent may oc c ur.
8 . W hen installing the battery cartridge, be sure
to lock the trigger and do not place your nger
on the trigger. I nc orrec t operation may c ause an
ac c id ent.
9 . W hen tying rebars, exercise care not to move
them. I f rebars mov e d ue to ty ing, y ou may be
injured.
1 0. Do not touch the wires during the wire tying
process. O th erw ise, y ou may get c augh t in th e
wire and injured.
1 1 . Do not bring your hands close to the tying
point during the wire tying process. O th erw ise,
you may get caught in the wire and injured.
1 2. Hold the grip of the tool rmly during the wire
tying process. O th erw ise, y our w rist may be
tw isted or y our bod y may be pulled , w h ic h may
result in an injury.
1 3. Do not move to the next tying point until the
current wire tying process is completed.
Otherwise, you may be injured.
14. Pay attention to the end of the wire during the
wire tying process. O th erw ise, y our h and may
be c augh t by th e end of th e w ire, and y ou may be
injured.
15. Do not touch the contact plate during the wire
tying process. If you need to touch the contact
plate, be sure to lock the trigger, or turn the
power switch off and remove the battery car-
tridge. Otherwise, you may be injured.
16. W hen you have completed the wire tying pro-
cess, pull the tool up vertically. O th erw ise, th e
arm may be c augh t on rebars, w h ic h may c ause
an ac c id ent.
1 7. Be careful not to drop, bump, or hit the tool.
If a strong impact is applied prior to the tool
being used, make sure that the tool is not dam-
aged or cracked, and that the safety devices
operate normally. O th erw ise, an ac c id ent may
oc c ur.
18. If any of the following phenomena occur, lock
the trigger, turn the power switch off, and
remove the battery cartridge from the tool.
I f th e tool operates inc orrec tly , an ac c id ent may
oc c ur.
• If an operating sound is heard as soon as
the battery cartridge is mounted.
• If overheating or abnormal smells or
noises are detected.
• W hen you are taking measures in
response to the error display. (Ask your
local Makita Service Center for repairs.)
• W hen loading or unloading a wire reel.
• W hen you move while holding the tool
during work.
• W hen you do not use the tool.
• W hen you inspect or adjust the tool.
• W hen you remove a stranded wire.
19. W hen working on scaffolding, always stabilize
it and work using a posture that will ensure
you maintain your balance. I f sc af f old ing is

mov e in a bac kw ard d irec tion w h ile w orking, y ou
may lose y our f ooting and c ause an ac c id ent.
21 . If you are working in a highly elevated loca-
tion, ensure that no one is below you, and pay
attention to ensure you do not drop any tools
while working. D ropping th e tool may c ause an
ac c id ent.
22. Do not use the tool for any work other than
wire tying. O th erw ise, an ac c id ent may oc c ur.
23. Always use Makita' s genuine wires. If wires are
not used for a long period of time, they may
rust. Do not use rusted wires. O th erw ise, th ey
may c ause an ac c id ent.
24 . After tying, check for wire breakage due to
excessive twisting. If any wires are broken,
tying strength will be lost. Adjust the tying
strength, and tie the rebars again.
25 . Securely place the arm against the rebars. I f
it is not sec urely positioned , a c learanc e w ill be
c reated betw een th e rebars, and ty ing strength w ill
be c ompromised .
Important safety instructions for
battery cartridge
1 . Before using battery cartridge, read all instruc-
tions and cautionary markings on (1) battery
charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using
battery.
2. Do not disassemble battery cartridge.
3. If operating time has become excessively
shorter, stop operating immediately. It may
result in a risk of overheating, possible burns
and even an explosion.
4 . If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them
out with clear water and seek medical atten-
tion right away. It may result in loss of your
eyesight.
5 . Do not short the battery cartridge:
( 1 ) Do not touch the terminals with any con-
ductive material.
( 2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a con-
tainer with other metal objects such as
nails, coins, etc.
( 3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water
or rain.

13 ENGLISH
A battery short can cause a large current
ow, overheating, possible burns and even a
breakdown.
6 . Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 50 ° C (122 ° F).
7. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if
it is severely damaged or is completely worn
out. The battery cartridge can explode in a re.
8 . Be careful not to drop or strike battery.
9 . Do not use a damaged battery.
1 0. The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject
to the Dangerous Goods Legislation require-
ments.
F or c ommerc ial transports e.g. by th ird parties,
f orw ard ing agents, spec ial req uirement on pac k-
aging and labeling must be observ ed .

1 1 . Follow your local regulations relating to dis-
posal of battery.
1 2. Use the batteries only with the products
specied by Makita. I nstalling th e batteries to
non-compliant products may result in a re, exces-
siv e h eat, ex plosion, or leak of elec troly te.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION: Only use genuine Makita batteries.
U se of non-genuine Makita batteries, or batteries th at
h av e been altered , may result in th e battery bursting
causing res, personal injury and damage. It will
also v oid th e Makita w arranty f or th e Makita tool and
c h arger.
Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
1 . Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged. Always stop tool operation and
charge the battery cartridge when you notice
less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery car-
tridge. Overcharging shortens the battery
service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room tem-
perature at 10 ° C - 40 ° C (50 ° F - 104 ° F). Let
a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.
4 . Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use
it for a long period (more than six months).
FUNCTIONALDESCRIPTION
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before adjusting or checking function on the tool.
Installing or removing battery cartridge
CAUTION: Always switch off the tool before
installing or removing of the battery cartridge.
CAUTION: Hold the tool and the battery car-
tridge rmly when installing or removing battery
cartridge. F ailure to h old th e tool and th e battery
cartridge rmly may cause them to slip off your hands
and result in d amage to th e tool and battery c artrid ge
and a personal injury.
