#3 CONDITION: The tool runs sluggishly.
CAUSE
1.
The air filter-regulator-lubricator is
malfunctioning or is not properly maintained.
2.
The tool may run sluggishly due to a clogged or
dirty motor filter screen due to a lack of properly
filtered air supply.
3.
The tool may run sluggishly due to an improper
air motor adjustment or a clogged or dirty
vibrator assembly.
4.
The end plates, pinion teeth on the rotor and the
rotor blades are worn, dirty or rusted.
#4 CONDITION: Feedwheel milling on strap and/or strap breaking.
CAUSE
1.
Feedwheel is clogged with dirt or strap residue.
2.
Worn teeth on the feedwheel.
3.
Excessive or improperly set feedwheel to gripper
plug clearance.
#5 CONDITION: The top strap is being properly tensioned but the tool does not hold the
bottom strap.
CAUSE
1.
The gripper plug may be packed with dirt or strap
residue preventing the teeth from penetrating the
strap.
2.
Worn teeth on the gripper plug.
3.
The tension release lever is being held while
operating the tool.
1A. Check the regulator to see that the correct air
pressure is getting to the tool.
1B. Check to see the filter unit is clean and
functioning properly.
1C. Examine the lubricator to see there is oil in the
bowl and that oil is seen dripping from the sight
dome as the tool operates. This assures the air
motor is being properly lubricated.
2.
Remove the Hansen plug at the inlet to the air
motor and examine the filter screen in the filter
assembly and clean it if necessary.
3.
Clean vibrator parts as needed. Inspect vibrator
eccentric for wear or damage. Replace as
required.
4.
Carefully remove the air motor from the tool and
disassemble it. If these parts are only dirty,
clean, thoroughly oil and reassemble. If they
are worn or rusted, replace them.
1.
Clean teeth on feedwheel with the cleaning
brush (Signode Part No. 023963) provided.

1.
Clean teeth on feedwheel with the cleaning
brush (Signode Part No. 023963) provided.

another by an inside shoulder on each part, it is
not often these parts have to be replaced.
3.
Review the operating instruction shown in this
manual.
