NOTES:
1. To assist in removing threaded parts, apply heat (softens locking compound).
2. When connecting the tension screw to the slide block, or button head screws to the JR. adapter body, clean threads
(male and female) of foreign matter, then apply two drops of medium strength locking compound (Loctite 242 or equiv.)
onto male threads and connect parts together.
3. Before using BAND-IT JR. tool check to see that the cutter blade and backing plate are fully tightened. Loose screws
can cause breakage of cutter blade or backing plate. Use hex key provided with tool to tighten screws if needed.
4. Assemble tension handle, then attach retaining ring to tension screw in location shown. Place ring on groove, then
push ring against a hard surface such as a table until it snaps securely in place.
5. Kit # C01899 contains one each of a C01887 band gripper, C03186 gripper spring and C01787 pin. Replace all parts
as a set to maximize tool performance. Periodic cleaning of band gripper teeth will improve tool performance.
