OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Wear safety glasses which conform to ANSI Standard Z87.1 or EN 166. Stand to one side of
the tensioned strap while sealing. Maintain proper footing and balance. Make sure all
bystanders are clear before proceeding.
1. Fully open sealer handles and center the
open jaws on the seal.
2. Bring sealer handles completely together
to assure a proper notch.
3. Remove sealer and inspect strap joint for
proper formation. Cut strap end with
cutter placed close to seal.
4. To avoid contact with sharp end of strap,
retract strap end back into strap
dispenser.
JOINT INSPECTION
This tool is a double reverse notch type
sealer. A properly formed joint will appear as
shown in the illustration. An improperly
formed seal which does not have four good
notches could result in strap separation
which can result in serious personal injury or
death. If the joint does not appear as shown,
then the operator must proceed as follows:
A. Ensu
re that the tool's operating instructions
are being followed before applying
another strap.
B. Cut the strap off and apply another.
If the joint still does not appear as shown,
then inspect the tool for worn and/or
damaged parts. Replace tool parts as
needed. BEFORE MOVING ANY PACKAGE
BE CERTAIN THAT THE SEAL IS FORMED
WITH FOUR GOOD NOTCHES AS SHOWN.
Misnotched joints may not secure the load
and could cause serious injury.
TOOL MAINTENANCE
1. Clean the tool and apply light machine oil
to all moving parts on a weekly basis.
2. Inspect the tool before each use for worn
or broken parts. Replace parts if
necessary.
