not appear as shown, then the operator must proceed as
follows:
A. Insure that the tools operating instructions are
being followed before applying another strap.
B. 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.
!
Tuck strap end back into the dispenser when not in use.
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.
