Maintenance; Replacing The Tie Wires; Storage Of The Hex Wrench - Makita DTR180 Original Instructions Manual

• Avoid strumous sections of rebars.
• If tying strength is insufficient, change the tying orientation
and perform tying twice so that tying strength increases.
NOTICE:
When you make the second tie, bend
the tail of the first tie before making the second tie.
Otherwise, the wire may be repelled a second time. It
may cling to the tool tip, and the hook may be damaged.

pers or pliers.
