Tip Collector - Panduit PDM Operation Manual

•
Although the tool does not require any specific positioning on the bundle within the jaws, always allow the tool to
seek its own position as the cable tie is being tensioned. DO NOT pull on the tool or restrict its movement
toward the bundle, or loose cable ties or non-flush cable tie tail cutoffs will result.
•
DO NOT place the bundle or item against the back of the jaw area. Misfeeds may result.
•
Each harness or item to be cable tied should be supported off the harness board at least 2" (51 mm). Panduit
Harness Board Accessories provide the ideal harness height for automatic cable tie application.
•
DO NOT install cable ties too close to a previously installed cable tie or a harness support, or any other object on
the bundle. Loose cable ties or long cutoffs may result. Always allow enough space between cable ties and
other objects, so that the tool can move freely toward the bundle as the cable tie is pulled tight.
•
Store the cable ties properly, according to the storage specifications, and use them before the expiration date to
prevent dryness and brittleness. Dry or brittle cable ties may break during installation.
