Tying strength setting
CAUTION:
Be sure to lock the trigger before
starting the adjustment. When you turn the power
on, never bring your limbs or face close to the
binding or rotating parts of the tool tip. Otherwise,
you may be injured.
► Fig.7
You can set the tying strength by adjusting the tying strength
adjusting button. Tying strength is shown on the display panel.
► Fig.8: 1. Tying strength adjusting button 2. Display panel
If the wire is broken off, tying strength will be lost. After
tying, check the twisted portion for breakage.
If the wire is broken off, adjust the tying strength using the
tying strength adjusting button, and tie the rebars again.
Remaining battery notification
When the battery voltage drops below the required
level, the tool will stop operating, an error tone will
sound, and the number "4" will appear on the display
panel. The error tone will continue to sound until the
power is turned off.
NOTE: If the ambient temperature is extremely low,
the error tone may sound even when the battery
contains sufficient power.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before carrying out any work on the tool.
Loading the tie wire (wire reel)
CAUTION:
Before mounting or dismounting
tie wires and accessories, be sure to turn the
power off, lock the trigger, and remove the battery
cartridge. Failure to do so may cause an accident.
NOTICE:
Using wires other than Makita's genu-
ine tie wires may cause the tool to malfunction.
1. Push the release lever, and lock it with the lock lever.
► Fig.9: 1. Release lever 2. Lock lever
When you push the release lever, a gap is created
between the left and right feed gears.
► Fig.10: 1. Release lever 2. Lock lever 3. Feed gears
2. Open the reel cover.
► Fig.11: 1. Reel cover
3. Mount the wire reel on the tool in the orientation
shown in the figure.
► Fig.12: 1. Wire reel
NOTICE:
Be sure to mount the wire reel in the
orientation shown in the figure. If it is mounted the
other way around, the wire will be released and may
be twisted.
4. Unhook the wire tip from the hook of reel.
► Fig.13: 1. Hook
5. Make the tip of the wire straight, and pass the wire
through the guide.
► Fig.14: 1. Guide
NOTE: If the tip of the wire is bent when it is passed
through the guide, the wire may become jammed in
the tool.
NOTE: If you force the wire when trying to pass it
through the guide, the wire may become jammed.
6. Pull the wire out approximately 10 mm from the tip
of the arm.
► Fig.15: 1. Arm 2. Approximately 10 mm
NOTICE:
If the length of the pulled-out wire is
insufficient, the wire may be broken off when tied,
or tying strength may be compromised due to
insufficient wraps.
7. Rewind the wire to eliminate its slack.
► Fig.16
8. Release the lock lever. The release lever returns,
and the wire is held by the left and right gears.
► Fig.17: 1. Release lever 2. Lock lever
► Fig.18: 1. Gear 2. Path of the wire 3. Wire
NOTICE:
When the lock lever is released and
when the left and right gears mesh with each
other, the grooves in the gears form a space. This
space becomes the path for the wire. Make sure
that the wire is passed through this path.
9. Close the reel cover.

OPERATION
Checking before work
CAUTION:
If the tool has a safety mecha-
nism-related problem, do not use it. If you continue
to use it, an accident may occur.
Before using the tool, make sure that the safety mecha-
nism operates normally. If the tool operates without the
safety mechanism operating, stop using the tool imme-
diately. Ask your local Makita Service Center for repairs.
Checking the trigger-lock
The tool has the trigger-lock to prevent the tool from
operating when you do not intend to use it. Lock the trig-
ger and confirm that the switch trigger cannot be pulled.
Checking the curl guide
To prevent the operator from touching the binding or rotating
parts of the tool tip by mistake, the tool will not operate even
if the switch trigger is pulled while the curl guide is opened.
When the operator releases their finger from the switch
trigger and closes the curl guide, the tool can operate.
