1. Band may be used from bulk roll as
this completely eliminates waste of
band. Slide buckle on band as shown,
bringing end of band around object to
be clamped and again through buckle.
NOTE: The tension screw thread
should be lubricated regularly.
2. Continue band around object once
more and again through buckle.
Double banding develops a great deal
more radial compression than single
banding. Bend end of band under
buckle.
4. Place finger on BAND-IT Band at
buckle bridge while tensioning with tool
handle. When you feel BAND-IT Band
stop moving through buckle as you are
turning handle, maximum pressure is
being exerted by the BAND-IT Band
around object being clamped. Stop
turning handle.
5. Roll tool over buckle, backing off
with tension handle throughout entire
rolling operation. Failure to back off
with tension handle through-out entire
course of roll-over may result in
breaking of band. There is no loss of
tension as band released is used up in
the bend.
6. Pull cutting handle to cut the band.
7. Remove tool,
holding stub of band
down with thumb.
8. Hammer down
buckle ears to hold
band stub in place
to complete BANDIT clamp.
3. Place band in opening of tool nose
and gripper block. Move into slot as far
as possible, to avoid buckle sliding into
tool nose. Tighten band clamp by
turning the tension handle clockwise
while holding band gripper tight against
band. NOTE: The spring load of the
band gripper is not intended to secure
and prevent band from slipping during
tension process.

Gripper Cleaning Instructions:
1. Remove gripper. Align gripper pin
hole with notch in tool frame. Using a
punch and hammer, punch pin out of
slide block.
2. Using a wire brush, clean all
foreign matter from teeth.
3. Replace pin. Gripper spring must be
seated in tension screw hole. Align
gripper hole with slide block hole, insert
pin in hole and hammer pin in place.
1. The BAND-IT Scru-Lokt clamp,
using the Scru-Lokt buckle, is
applied in exactly the same way as
the BAND-IT clamp except that the
tool is not rolled over.
2. After tension is applied, insert set screw in
Scru-Lokt buckle and tighten. To permit
taking up Scru-Lokt clamp, or to re-use, a 3
inch (7.5 cm) stub should be left so that tool
will be able to re-grip band later.
3. Where stub of band is left
for Scru-Lokt clamp, it may be
folded under as shown.
JR Adapters: The JR adapters (J00169 and J05069 heavy duty) are used with the BAND-IT C00169 tool when
BAND-IT JR. preformed clamps are used.
C04388 Close Quarter Tension Nut: In cramped quarters, use instead of tool tension handle.
NOTE: See general catalog or web site for instructions and ordering information.
