B. Hold tool perpendicular to bundle in both directions.
C. Dress the wires to result in a more compact bundle for the
specific tool being used.
D. Do not install cable ties too close to other cable ties, harness
supports or other objects on bundle.
E. Allow tool to seek its own position as the tie is being tensioned.
Decrease tool tension setting.
A. Decrease tool tension setting.
B. Hold tool perpendicular to bundle in both directions.
C. Allow tool to seek its own position as the tie is being tensioned.

A. Dress the wires to result in a more compact bundle for the
specific tool being used.
B. Store cable ties properly and use before expiration date.
C. Decrease tool tension setting.
D. Set air pressure between 65 and 85 PSIG (4,5 and 5,8 bar),
with a maximum 10 PSI (0,7 bar) drop.
A. DO NOT place bundle forcefully against jaw tie track.
B. Verify that air pressure is at 65 PSIG (4,5 bar) (minimum). Air
pressure can be increased by 5 PSI (0,35 bar) increments until
cable ties feed properly. Do not exceed 85 PSIG (5,8 bar)
(maximum).
