OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, Continued
3. The motor will stall when the pre-set tension
level has been reached. Press the sealer
lever all the way down, then release. Do not
hold tensioner lever down while pressing the
sealer lever as the tensioning lever will be
released automatically. The tool will
automatically seal the straps together, cut off
the top strap and eject a new seal into the
jaws. Inspect the joint to make sure the tool
has properly crimped the seal.
4. After the tool has sealed and the sealing
mechanism retracts, the feedwheel will
automatically raise off the straps. Swing the
rear of the tool away from the completed tie
to free the tool.
5. If the resulting tension level is not
satisfactory for your strapping needs, then proceed to adjust
the tension as described earlier in this manual.
JOINT INSPECTION
This tool has a crimp type sealer. A properly made joint will
appear as shown in the illustration. If the joint does not
appear as shown, then the operator must proceed as follows:
1. Insure that the tools operating instructions are being
followed before applying another strap.
2. Cut the strap off and apply another.
If the joint still does not appear as shown, then inspect the
tool for worn and/or damaged parts. Replace tool parts as needed.
NEVER HANDLE OR SHIP ANY LOAD WITH IMPROPERLY FORMED
JOINTS. Misformed joints may not secure the load and could
cause serious injury.
