OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Wear safety glasses. Stand to one side of the strap while tensioning.
1. STRAP PREPARATION.
Encircle the package with strap by passing the
loose end over the top and bringing it back
around. This will result in a top strap and a
bottom strap.
2. TOP AND BOTTOM STRAP INSERTION. Squeeze
the sealer handle and the feedwheel support
handle together with the right hand. With the left
hand, align the top and bottom straps. Then,
with a sideways motion, insert them into the tool,
making sure both straps are fully seated in and
against the front and back strap guides. Note
that both straps must be placed between the
feed wheel and the clutch plug. Make sure the
lead end of the bottom strap extends about 1" to
1 1/2" (25 - 40mm) beyond the front of the tool.
3. REMOVING SLACK STRAP. After the straps
have been inserted into the tool, release the
feedwheel support handle. With the left hand,
grasp the top strap and pull back on it to
remove slack strap. Pull it snug around the
package. The feed wheel will rotate as the strap
is being pulled back.
Make sure all bystanders are clear before proceeding.
