Quick Reference Guide
Before you use the PEX GUN, read this manual carefully.
Making A Wire Tie to PEX or PEX-AL-PEX Pipe:
We recommend that you keep the tension/wire tie dial between 3 and # 6 setting. For a snug wire tie, make sure that
the pipe and rebar wire mesh is placed completely into the inside of the Arm.
Changing the Wire Spool: Before installing a coil of wire, turn the tool to the OFF position and then remove the
battery. Open the wire gate, PRESS the gear release button and insert the wire coil into the chamber. Lock the gate
and then remove the tape from the wire coil. Don’t allow the wire to uncoil and spin in the wire chamber because it
may get tangled. Proceed to cut off about 1” of wire and then slowly feed the wire into the tool until it flows out of the
nose of the Arm. Press the gear release so that it grips the wire. The tool is now ready for use.
Wire: The PEX GUN has arrived with a test wire spool installed in the tool for testing prior to shipment. Only use the
PEX GUN wire made for this product. Alternative wire ties will damage the gear shaft and ruin the tool and will void
the warranty. When changing the wire spool, use a wire cutter to cut off bent wire. Make sure that a 5" straight piece
of wire is inserted into the wire guide. Push the wire through the guide and lock the gears. Make sure that the wire
spool sits in the wire cradle properly and that the latch is locked.
Tool Jams: If the wire gets tangled in the Arm, turn the tool off and remove the battery. Proceed to remove the wire
with your wire cutter. Proceed with standard operating procedure as stated in this manual.
Battery Charge: Always charge your batteries fully before first use. In general, it’s best that you let the battery
completely drain before recharging to increase longevity of the battery. Typical charge takes about an hour or when
the green light displays on the charger. Charge batteries using 110 V AC power only. The power charger is not
designed to be used with a power generator.
When the tool is in not being used, disconnect the battery and place the plastic battery boot onto the battery stem.
The PEX GUN will make approximately 1000 ties per battery charge. One full battery charge should allow installation
of about 3000 ft of PEX pipe. See operational manual for additional information.
Be sure that front of the machine arms are clear from objects to prevent the wire from jamming the tool. Lift the wire
mesh off the ground and then tie the PEX.
