THREADING TENSIONER

1.  Wrap both ends of strapping around product.

2.  Sandwich strapping with the bottom strap facing 

towards you. (See Figure 1)

3.  Squeeze handle towards base and insert strapping 

under the gripper.

4.  Pull strapping as close to product as possible to 

reduce amount of tensioning that will be necessary

TENSIONING

1.  Move handle back and forth to begin tensioning

2.  Continue back and forth motion until strapping has 

reached desired tension. (See Figure 2) 

SEALING

1.  Place the seal. Seal should be placed open side 

down on top of both pieces of strapping. (See Figure 3)

2.  Close nose of sealer around seal.

3.  Crimp tightly around strapping.

4.  Repositioning the tightening handle:

•  If handle is in forward position you will need to push 

Handle Pawl forward and allow handle to fall to the 

base (this allows you to remove the tensioner when 

finished or to realign strapping during tensioning)

5.  Remove excess strapping:

•  When finished, cut excess strapping with a strapping 

cutter.
