Operating
Manual
Caution
: Tension pressures above the specified settings may cause premature
clamp failure and/or tool wear. Refer to the “Tool / Component Identification” page
to verify the tool model.
Setting the Tool Air Pressure
The tension pressure directly affects the force applied to the clamp.
To correctly set the air pressure from the air controller module going to the tool, connect the
air supply to the tool. Activate the tool by depressing the trigger for a few seconds. Re-read
the pressure when the tool is at rest and adjust again if necessary. Repeat until the desired
pressure is shown on the tension pressure gage.
Tension pressure may need to be adjusted to provide adequate tension for the specific
application.
Initial Setup – Pneumatic Settings
Connect the tool body to the Air Controller Module using the included Coiled Hose
Assembly. The hose assembly includes both a clear and black hose. Each hose end
includes a female and male fitting, arranged to prevent reversing of connections.
Connect Air Controller Module to air source (assure air supply meets requirements on “Air
System Requirements” page) and turn RED Shut-off Valve to pressurize tool (supply
position).
