INDEX PAGE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TECHNICAL DATA CHART OF TYPES WARRANTY CONDITIONS AND LIABILITY APPROPRIATE USE INSTALLATION 4.6.1 Compressed air connection........4-6 4.6.2 Accessories .
4.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow these instructions can result in severe personal injury. Eye injury hazard Strap breakage hazard Failure to wear safety glasses with side shields can result Improper operation of the tool, excessive tensioning, using in severe eye injury or blindness.
4.2 TECHNICAL DATA Description of the tool The tool model P355 has been designed to strap packages with plastic strapping. The plastic strapping is fed around the package manually or in combination with a strap feeder. The straps are inserted in the tool, automatically tensioned, sealed by friction welding and separated.
4.4 WARRANTY CONDITIONS AND LIABILITY FROMM Holding AG warrants all its strapping tools and machine heads during a period of 24 months from the date of installation at the end-user's sight by the distributor, however, not later than 30 months from the date of shipment to the distributor of FROMM Holding AG.
4.6 INSTALLATION 4.6.1 Compressed air connection The compressed air is to be connected to the tool preferably by a quick disconnector (G1/4). An air-unit consisting of a separator for water and dirt, a pressure regulator with a manometer and a lubricator must be installed within a range of 15 ft / 5 meters.
Page 47
Suspension of tool It is possible to suspend the tool on a spring loaded balancer using the suspension bracket P35.0125 which is supplied with the tool. The suspension bracket has been designed in such a way, that the tool can be used for all three working positions.
4.6.3 Adjustments 4.6.4 Preselecting of strap tension and tensioning speed Do not adjust the tensioning force too high. If the tensioning force is higher than the tensioning strength of the strap, the strap will tear while the tensioning. Tensioning force and tensioning speed can be preselected at the control head.
4.7 OPERATING ELEMENTS Tensioner valve lever Lever Handle lever 4.8 OPERATION 4.8.1 Feeding the strap around the package The strapping is fed around the package as illustrated. Warning! The plastic strap which will be welded must be free from oil, grease and other dirt.
4.8.2 Inserting the strap Pull up the handle lever firmly with your right hand. Insert the two straps well aligned on each other into the strap guide using your left hand. Release the handle lever. 4.8.3 Tensioning the strap Press down the tensioner valve lever and then release it again after the desired strap tension has been reached.
4.8.4 Sealing the straps While welding the plastic strap the lever must be pressed forward against the front stop After the welding operation the lever must be pressed against the front stop for another 1-2 seconds until the seal is cooled down. Disregarding of this regulation will cause insufficient seal efficiency, what can cause severest injuries.
4.9 EXCHANGE OF WEARING PARTS Before any maintenance work always disconnect the tool from the air supply. 4.9.1 Exchange of tensioning wheel and grippers Disassembling • Unscrew end cover P32.1238 and remove it; • Remove the torsion spring N2.5823; • Remove the tensioning body P32.1254;...
