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
current wire tying process is completed.
•
The tool tip rotating part (hook) twists the wire
during the
process. Hold
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,
release your
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.
