18. If any of the following phenomena occur, lock the trigger, turn the power switch off, and remove the battery cartridge from the tool. If the tool operates incorrectly, an accident may occur. • If an operating sound is heard as soon as the battery cartridge is mounted. • If overheating or abnormal smells or noises are detected. • When you are taking measures in response to the error display. (Ask your local Makita Service Center for repairs.) • When loading or unloading a wire reel. • When you move while holding the tool during work. • When you do not use the tool. • When you inspect or adjust the tool. • 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 location, 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.

Before using battery cartridge, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery. 2. Do not disassemble battery cartridge. 3. If operating time has become excessively shorter, stop operating immediately. It may result in a risk of overheating, possible burns and even an explosion. 4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them out with clear water and seek medical attention right away. It may result in loss of your eyesight. 5. Do not short the battery cartridge: (1) Do not touch the terminals with any conductive material. (2) Avoid storing battery cartridge in a container with other metal objects such as nails, coins, etc. (3) Do not expose battery cartridge to water or rain. A battery short can cause a large current flow, overheating, possible burns and even a breakdown. 6. Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 50 °C (122 °F). 7. Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if it is severely damaged or is completely worn out. The battery cartridge can explode in a fire. 8. Be careful not to drop or strike battery. 9. Do not use a damaged battery. 10. The contained lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation requirements. For commercial transports e.g. by third parties, forwarding agents, special requirement on packaging and labeling must be observed. For preparation of the item being shipped, consulting an expert for hazardous material is required. Please also observe possibly more detailed national regulations. Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the battery in such a manner that it cannot move around in the packaging. 11. Follow your local regulations relating to disposal of battery. 12. Use the batteries only with the products specified by Makita. Installing the batteries to non-compliant products may result in a fire, excessive heat, explosion, or leak of electrolyte. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. CAUTION: Only use genuine Makita batteries. Use of non-genuine Makita batteries, or batteries that have been altered, may result in the battery bursting causing fires, personal injury and damage. It will also void the Makita warranty for the Makita tool and charger. 5 ENGLISH
