Signode tools and machines are designed and warranted to work together with Signode
strapping and seals. Use of non-Signode strap and seals and/or manufactured or
specified replacement parts may result in strap breakage or joint separation while
applying strapping to a load or during normal shipping and handling. This could result in
severe personal injury.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN
RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
JOINT FORMATION
!
Before using this tool, read its Operation and Safety Instructions contained in this manual.
1. This tool can be used with a variety of Signode sealer tools. Read the sealer’s manual
thoroughly to inspect a formed seal joint. Each joint must be inspected to make certain it has
been properly made. A properly formed joint is shown in every sealer’s manual. If the joint
does not appear to have been made properly, then the operator must proceed as follows.
A. Make certain that the tool's operating instructions are being followed before applying
another strap.
B. Cut the strap off and apply a new strap and seal.
C. An improper formed seal which does not have good notches or crimps, could result in
strap separation. Before moving any package be certain that the seal is formed as shown
in the sealer’s manual. Inspect the joint to make certain it appears as shown in the
sealer’s manual. If not, remove the broken strap and check the tool for worn or broken
parts. Repair the tool for worn or broken parts. Repair the tool before applying another
strap.
MOVING AND STACKING STRAPPED LOADS
Before moving or stacking any strapped load, follow all standard industry practices regarding
safe material handling procedures.
CUTTING TENSIONED STRAP
Use only cutters designed for cutting strap; never use claw hammers, crowbars, chisels, axes or
similar tools. Such tools will cause the strap to fly apart with hazardous force. Before using any
Signode product read its Operation and Safety Manual.
