10 OPERATION

10.1 Feeding the strap

The strap is fed through the seal, around the 
package to be strapped and again through the seal. 
The strap end is then bent. The operator then 
tensions the loose loop manually making sure that 
the bent strap end is adjacent to the object to be 
strapped.

10.2 Introducing the tool

The upper strap is held with the left hand; the right 
hand lifts the air motor and introduces the tool from 
the right to the left and from the rear to the front. The 
air motor is then released.

10.3 Tensioning the strap

The tension valve lever A48.1232 is pressed down. 
The lever is caught completely and the strap is 
tensioned until the air motor stalls. If the cycle has to 
be interrupted the catch A48.1234 has to be pressed 
to the left.

Always wear safety 

glasses with side shields 

which conform to ANSI 

Standard Z87.1.

When handling strap, 

always wear protective 

gloves.
