GRC001 Hand Tool
Operating
Instructions
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.
NOTE: The tension screw thread
should be lubricated regularly.
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.
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 throughout entire
rolling operation
. Failure to back off
with tension handle through-out 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.
7. Remove tool,
holding stub of band
down with thumb.
8. Hammer down
buckle ears to hold
band stub in place
to complete BAND-
IT clamp.
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 band from slipping during
tension process.
