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 loca-
tion, ensure that no one is below you, and pay
attention 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.

Tips for maintaining maximum
battery life
1.
Charge the battery cartridge before completely
discharged. Always stop tool operation and
charge the battery cartridge when you notice
less tool power.
2.
Never recharge a fully charged battery car-
tridge. Overcharging shortens the battery
service life.
3.
Charge the battery cartridge with room tem-
perature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let
a hot battery cartridge cool down before
charging it.
4.
Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use
it for a long period (more than six months).
