If the tool fails to fully tension the clamp:  

Failure to fully tension the clamp can be caused by a variety of factors.  The two 
most common factors are incorrect tension pressure and problems with the grippers. 

Check tension pressure setting on Tension Pressure Gauge of Air Controller Module.  
Adjust pressure per the settings found in the “Air System Settings” page.

Evaluate the clamp tail dimple pattern.  If elongated dimples are present, the problem 
may be with the Tension Block or Front Gripper. 

If a problem is indicated, follow the instructions in the “Maintenance” section to remove 
and inspect the tension block assembly and the front gripper.

Examine the Tension Block and Tension Gripper for damage or wear. 

Examine the Front Gripper area for foreign debris and/ or buildup of metal shavings.

Ensure that the four cutter blade screws are tightened.

If excessive damage or wear is determined, replace the worn parts.
