4. After tying, exercise care not to hook the arm on
the rebars and pull the tool up.
Cautions on working
• If you move the arm from the tying position during
the wire tying process, the wire will get stuck on
the hook, which may lead to incorrect tying.
• Keep pressing the tool against the rebars until the
wire tying process is completed.
• Do not move to the next tying point until the cur-
rent wire tying process is completed.
• The tool tip rotating part (hook) twists the wire
during the wire tying process. Hold the grip firmly
so that your body is not pulled by the tool.
• Do not touch the wires during the wire tying
process.
• If you are repeating the wire tying processes in
the single actuation mode, fully release your finger
from the switch trigger. Then, continue to operate
the switch trigger.
• If you pull the switch trigger when there is no tie
wire left, an error is displayed. Replace with a new
tie wire and restart the tool.
Tying tips
• Tilt the tool at a 45° angle to the crossed rebars,
and tie alternately as shown in the figure.
