PURPOSE: To easily cope with various winding-off and cutting conditions, by inputting the kind and length of an objective wire and the number thereof on the basis of guidance with a selection menue diagrammatically indicated on a display of an indication unit and automatically winding out a wire in accordance with the input.

CONSTITUTION: The kind and length of an objective wire and the number thereof are input on the basis of guidance with a selection menue diagrammatically indicated on a display of an indication unit 17. The wire is automatically wound off and cut in accordance with the input. Accordingly, even a winding-off and cutting work in which various winding-off and cutting conditions are requested like a work handling wiring materials and devices in a distribution work, can be simply treated. The wire length data of respective drums input by use of the display of the indication unit 17 and the residual wire length in which the cut-out wire has been subtracted from the wire length data are retained in a memory. The load of inventory control can be remarkably reduced by use of the data of memory.
