OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Wear safety glasses which conform to ANSI Standard
Z87.1 or EN 166.     

Always position yourself to one side of the strap
while tensioning and sealing. Make sure all
bystanders are clear before proceeding. Maintain
proper footing and balance.

1.

Encircle the package with strap as illustrated. Take up the
slack, keeping the strap squarely in line.

2.

Squeeze the tension handle to the base to lift the
feedwheel and apply the tool to both layers of strap.

3.

While standing to one side of the strap line, tension the
strap through continuous up and down motions with the
tensioning handle. NOTE: Do not allow the handle to
press against the base during the downward portion of
the tensioning cycle. This will raise the feedwheel and
release the tensioned strap.

4.

Snap a seal on the straps directly in front of the tool,
making sure that the seal covers both straps. 

5.

Crimp or notch the seal as shown.

6.

Press and hold the handle pawl with thumb. Squeeze the
handle to the base and remove the tool from the strap by
swinging the rear foot out as illustrated. 

7.

Excess strap is bent sharply back on the seal with the
thumb or fingers.  Several additional bends will result in a
clean strap break off. If the width and gauge of the strap
being used will not allow it to be bent, cut the excess
strap as close to the seal as possible using an approved
strap cutter. Inspect the joint to make sure the seal has
been properly notched or crimped (Refer to the sealer
manual).
