JOINT FORMATION
An improperly formed joint, or a joint with an incorrect number of notches, could result in strap
separation. Before moving any package, be certain that the joint is formed as shown in the
illustration. If not, remove the strap and check the tool for worn or broken parts. Repair the tool
before applying another strap. Failure to follow this procedure could result in serious injury or
death. If you have questions regarding proper joint formation, contact your Signode Sales
Representative.
Before making a double reverse notch seal joint, read the sealing tool’s Operation. Parts and
Safety Manual. A properly formed double reverse notch joint will appear as shown in the
illustration. More than one seal may be required for your application. Always uses the correct
number of seals recommended by your Signode Sales Representative.
If the double reverse notch joint does not appear as shown in the
illustration proceed as follows:
1.
Review the tool’s operating instructions to be certain that the tool
is being operated properly before applying another strap.
2.
Cut the strap off, and apply a new strap and seal.
