Environmental operating conditions are defined as:
•For Indoor Use ONLY
•Temperature range from 5°C to 40°C
•Max relative humidity 80% for temperatures up to 31°C. Allowable humidity then
decreases linearly to 50% at 40°C
•Conforms to Applicable Rated POLLUTION DEGREE 1
•Correct illumination for safety of operator (ISO 8995-89)
Additional Safety Guidelines:
• Read this manual and become familiar with the tool before installing any clamps.
3/8” IT Tool
• Protective eyewear should be worn when connecting and disconnecting the tool to
compressed air sources and during operation.
• Wear appropriate gloves for handling steel while operating this tool, applying steel
clamps and removing scrap clamp tail.
• Clamp tensioning can be immediately stopped by releasing the tool trigger. If a remote
trigger is used, the system must be connected to allow for immediate disabling of the tool.
• When applying clamps, care should be taken to insure fingers and loose clothing are not
in the way of the clamp being applied.
• Never attempt to clamp objects which have a potential to burst, shatter or otherwise
cause bodily harm.
• Disconnect air supply and electrical power prior to maintenance and disassembly of tool
components.
• Liquids or lubricants should never be put into the air lines.

This machine is designed to automatically install clamps with repeatability and control.
• The tool consists of a tension system and a cutting system, both pneumatically controlled.
• The pneumatic system can be adjusted to provide appropriate clamp force for different
applications. As the tension pressure is increased, the output force of the tool increases.
• During the tension cycle, the tool continues to tension the band until the pre-set tension is
achieved. The tool stops tensioning when the pressure in the tension cylinder equals the inlet
tension pressure coming from the air controller module.
• After the tool has achieved the preset tension, a valve switches over to the cutoff cycle.
• The gripping system retains force on the clamp until after the knife is actuated, which forms a
locking feature and cuts the excess clamp tail.

For proper tool performance, the incoming compressed air requirements to the BAND-IT Air
Controller Module of the 3/8” BAND-IT Pneumatic IT Tool must be:
ItemMinMax
Inlet Supply Pressure in PSI (kPa)100 (690)150 (1,034)
Inlet Supply Air Flow in SCFM (L/min)1.5 (0.71)
Filtered air particle size (microns)(5)
Air Moisture Content20% RH
Warning - Failure to follow the below specifications may cause significant damage to
internal tool components.
Although cylinders are permanently lubricated, premature wear can be caused by contaminants in the air supply or the presence of water and oil. The tool’s internal
valves can also be affected by contaminants in the air lines causing a valve malfunction.
The BAND-IT Air Controller Module includes a filter to meet particle requirements.
BAND-IT recommends the use of an Air Booster System to address the potential problems
associated with low air supply, including:
•filters and dries the air supply
•assures pressure of 100 PSI (690 kPa)
