Cordless rebar tying tool safety
warnings
1. Never point the tool toward a person. Never
put your hands or feet close to the tool tip.
If you accidentally operate the tool while it is
touching someone, it will lead to an unexpected
accident.
2. Do not load wire while the power to the tool is
turned on. Otherwise, you may get caught in the
wire and injured.
3. Do not use the tool without closing the reel
cover. Otherwise, the wire reel may come off and
cause an accident.
4. Be sure to check that the diameters of rebars
to be tied are within the tool capacity before
beginning work.
5. Wear clothes that have close-fitting hemlines
and sleeves. Do not work with a towel or other
object wrapped around your neck. Otherwise,
they may get caught in the rotating part and cause
an accident.
6. Be sure to inspect the following points before
using the tool.
• 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. If the tool is used in an incomplete
state, an accident may occur.
When installing the battery cartridge, be sure to
8.
lock the trigger and do not place your finger on the
trigger. Incorrect operation may cause an accident.
When tying rebars, exercise care not to move
9.
them. If rebars move due to tying, you may be injured.
10. Do not touch the wires during the wire tying
process. Otherwise, you may get caught in the
wire and injured.
11. Do not bring your hands close to the tying
point during the wire tying process. Otherwise,
you may get caught in the wire and injured.
12. Hold the grip of the tool firmly during the wire
tying process. Otherwise, your wrist may be
twisted or your body may be pulled, which may
result in an injury.
13. 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. Otherwise, your hand may be caught
by the end of the wire, and you 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. When you have completed the wire tying pro-
cess, pull the tool up vertically. Otherwise, the
arm may be caught on rebars, which may cause
an accident.
17. 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 damaged
or cracked, and that the safety devices operate
normally. Otherwise, an accident may occur.
18. If any of the following phenomena occur, lock
the trigger, turn the power switch off, and
remove the battery cartridge from the tool. If the
tool operates incorrectly, an accident may occur.
• If an operating sound is heard as soon as
the battery cartridge is mounted.
• If overheating or abnormal smells or
noises are detected.
• When you are taking measures in
response to the error display. (Ask your
local Makita Service Center for repairs.)
• When loading or unloading a wire reel.
• When you move while holding the tool
during work.
• When you do not use the tool.
• When you inspect or adjust the tool.
• When you remove a stranded wire.
19. When working on scaffolding, always stabilize
it and work using a posture that will ensure
you maintain your balance. If scaffolding is
unstable, an accident may occur.
20. When working on a roof or similar locations,
move in a forward direction while working so
that you can see where you are going. If you
move in a backward direction while working, you
may lose your footing and cause an accident.
21. If you are working in a highly elevated location,
ensure that no one is below you, and pay atten-
tion to ensure you do not drop any tools while
working. Dropping the tool may cause an accident.
22. Do not use the tool for any work other than
wire tying. Otherwise, an accident may occur.
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. Otherwise, they
may cause an accident.
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. If it is not
securely positioned, a clearance will be created between
the rebars, and tying strength will be compromised.

tions and cautionary markings on (1) battery char-
ger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery.
2. Do not disassemble battery cartridge.
