Only for EU countries
Do not dispose of electric equipment or
battery pack together with household waste
material!
In observance of the European Directives,
on Waste Electric and Electronic
Equipment and Batteries and Accumulators
and Waste Batteries and Accumulators
and their implementation in accordance
with national laws, electric equipment and
batteries and battery pack(s) that have
reached the end of their life must be col-

ronmentally compatible recycling facility.
Intended use
The tool is intended for tying rebars.
Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined accord-
ing to EN60745-2-18 (EN12549):
Sound pressure level (L
pA
) : 78 dB(A)
Uncertainty (K) : 3 dB(A)
The noise level under working may exceed 80 dB (A).
WARNING:
Wear ear protection.
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-
mined according to EN60745-2-18 (ISO8662-11):
Work mode: Tying metal rod
Vibration emission (a
h
) : 2.5 m/s
2
or less
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
2
NOTE:
The declared vibration emission value has been
measured in accordance with the standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE:
The declared vibration emission value may
also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared emission
value depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety measures
to protect the operator that are based on an estima-
tion of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as
the times when the tool is switched off and when it is
running idle in addition to the trigger time).

SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
1.
Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
2.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3.
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
1.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
2.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
4.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
