TOOL ADJUSTMENTS
WELD TIME
Weld time has been factory adjusted to
provide acceptable weld strength when
using High Strength Tenax (polyester) type
strap.
Weld time may need to be adjusted due to
air supply differences, tool wear, etc.
Adjustments are made by turning the small
slotted screw, located beneath the weld
housing at the rear of the tool, using a small
screwdriver. Turn the screw clockwise to
increase weld time and counterclockwise to
decrease weld time.
Establishing the correct weld time is a
matter of trial and error and should be
conducted as follows.
1. Adjust the screw in 1/8 to 1/4 turn
increments only.
2. Apply a strap and make a weld.
3. Compare the weld made with the
illustrations shown on page 11 of this
manual. A good weld will displace some
material along the outer edges of the
joint.
4. If you are unable to produce an
acceptable joint or if you have any
questions as to whether your tool is
producing good weld strength, contact -
your Signode Sales Representative.
CUTTER ADJUSTMENTS
When the strap cutter begins to wear or
strapping seems difficult to cut off the strap
cutter may need adjustment. Contact the
Signode tool repair center or your Signode
representative for information on accessing
the adjustment screw.
Adjust the cutter by turning the adjustment
screw inward (clockwise) or out (counter-
clockwise) using 1/8 turn increments. Run
one or more tool cycles and continue to
adjust as necessary until proper strap cut-
off has been obtained.
NOTE: Do not over tighten cutter
mechanism as lower strap damage or poor
strap cut-off will occur.
FEEDWHEEL TO GRIPPER PLUG
The feedwheel to gripper plug clearance
may require readjustment if the feedwheel,
tensioner foot or gripper plug has been
replaced. The feedwheel clearance should
also be inspected during routine tool
maintenance procedures. Adjust the
feedwheel clearance as follows:
