7.2 SET UP A TIE
The torque and wrap dial adjusts the tension of the ties (10 torque positions) and the number of wraps per tie. Depen-
ding on which model, you can perform ties of 2 and 3 wraps of wire for model ATA 450 or 3 and 4 wraps of wire for model
ATA 580.
SELECTING THE TENSION OF TIES
To increase the tension of the ties, turn the torque and wrap dial CLOCKWISE and GRADUALLY heading to “TIGHT”,
matching the gradual scale with the arrow pointer, the more you turn the higher tension on the tie. To lower the tension,
turn the dial COUNTER CLOCKWISE and GRADUALLY heading to “LOOSE”.
SELECTING THE WRAPS PER TIE
Every time the torque and wrap dial turns one position CLOCKWISE, the red LED will ash 2 or 3 times (for ATA 450)
and 3 or 4 times (for ATA 580).
The number of ashes indicates the number of wraps of wire per tie, 2 ashes = 2 wraps / 3 ashes = 3 wraps / 4 ashes
= 4 wraps.
As long as the torque and wrap dial turns clockwise and gradually, a BEEP signal will sound on a certain moment, indi-
cating the change on the number of wraps from 2 to 3 and 3 to 4 or vice versa.
Example.
1. Switch on the tool from the main O – I switch.
2. Turns the torque and wrap dial one position CLOCKWISE (heading “TIGHT”) to increase the torque and pay attention
on the red LED ashes. If it ashes twice, the wraps of wire per tie will be 2.
3. For selecting 3 wraps of wire per tie, turn the torque and wrap dial CLOCKWISE and GRADUALLY till the BEEP
signal sounds and the red LED ashes 3 times, indicating then the number of wraps per tie is set up on 3, having 10
torque positions ahead to be selected at your choice.
4. For selecting 2 wraps per tie back again, keep turning CLOCKWISE and GRADUALLY the dial till the BEEP signal
sounds again and the red LED ashing twice.
TORQUE AND WRAP DIAL INDICATOR
If the torque position and number of wraps are unknown when turning the tool on, turn the torque and wrap dial indicator
CLOCKWISE till the BEEP signal sounds, indicating by LED ashes the changeover on number of wraps (from 2 to 3
and 3 to 4 or vice versa), then the torque will be set on 1, having 9 torque positions ahead to be selected at your choice.

7.4 RECOMENDATIONS FOR TIYING
7.3 FOR PROPER TYING PERFORMANCE
High performance and tightness Medium performance and tightness Low performance and tightness
The ties should be made in alternating
directions to ensure a much better fas-
tening.
Keep the tying gun vertically
and at 90º angle on top of the
cross surface and push the
jaws towards the rebar.
Cross-tying is recommended when tying
rebar at walls or vertical cages. Bend
down the knot of the rst tie before ma-
king the second tie.
There are three tying areas inside the jaws. Depending where you place the rebar to be tied you will get different tying
qualities and tightness. Find them as follows:
