This tool is a single reverse notch-joint sealers. Each notch-
joint must be inspected to make certain it has two (2) good
notches. A properly formed notch-joint will appear as
shown in the illustration. If the notch-joint does not appear
as shown, then the operator must proceed as follows.
1. Make certain that the tool's operating instructions are
being followed before applying another strap.
2. Cut the strap off and apply a new strap and seal.
3. An improper formed seal which does not have two (2) good notches, could result in strap
separation. Before moving any package be certain that the seal is formed as shown.
Inspect the joint to make certain it appears as shown in the illustration. If not, remove the
broken strap and check the tool for worn or broken parts. Repair the tool for worn or
broken parts. Repair the tool before applying another strap.
NEVER HANDLE OR SHIP ANY LOAD WITH IMPROPERLY FORMED JOINTS. Misformed
joints may not secure the load and could cause serious injury. Follow the joint inspection
procedures in each sealer's manual.
