1. Band may be used from bulk roll as 
this

 completely eliminates waste of 

band

. Slide buckle on band as shown, 

bringing end of band around object to 
be clamped and again through buckle. 

 

2. Continue band around object once 
more and again through buckle. 

Double banding develops a great deal 
more radial compression than single 
banding.

 Bend end of band under 

buckle. 

3. Place band in opening of tool nose 
and gripper block. Move into slot as 
far as possible, to avoid buckle sliding 
into tool nose.  Tighten band clamp by 
turning the tension handle clockwise 
while holding band gripper tight 
against band.  

NOTE:  The spring load 

of the band gripper is not intended to 
secure and prevent the band from 
slipping during tension process.

 

 

4. Place finger on BAND-IT Band at 
buckle bridge while tensioning with tool 
handle. When you feel BAND-IT Band 
stop moving through buckle as you are 
turning handle, 

maximum pressure is 

being exerted by the BAND-IT Band

 

around object being clamped. 

Stop 

turning handle. 

5. 

Roll tool over buckle, backing off 

with tension handle 1-1½ turns 
throughout entire rolling operation

Failure to back off tension with tension 
handle throughout entire course of roll-
over may result in breaking of band. 
There is no loss of tension as band 
released is used up in the bend. 

6. Pull cutting handle to cut the band. 
When applying Giant Band clamps, 
prior to cutting off clamp, release band 
gripper and push tool nose away from 
buckle approx. ¼”. 

7. Remove tool, 
holding stub of band 
down with thumb. 

8. Hammer 
down buckle 
ears to complete 
BAND-IT clamp.
