SAFETY RULES:
When applying clamps, care should be taken to make certain that fingers are not in the way of the
clamp being applied. Tensioning the clamp can be stopped immediately by releasing the foot pedal.
Detailed instructions are in this manual and the operator is advised to read it and become familiar
with operating the tool.
IMPORTANT: When clamping a hose end, remember that a tighter clamp keeps the fitting more
secure, but excess tension could damage the hose. Fitting stem must have prominent barbs for
proper retention inside the hose, but must not be sharp to prevent cutting into the hose. Hose, fitting
and clamp must be compatible with each other and the environment used in. If in doubt, consult the
hose or fitting manufacturer or call BAND-IT.
Clamping objects other than hose requires similar precautions.
CAUTION: Improperly tightened clamps may result in dangerous hose assemblies, which could
cause injuries or property damage.
CAUTION: Abuse or use of a hose outside the manufacturers recommended conditions may cause it
to quickly deteriorate and become a safety hazard. This could result in serious injury or property
damage. Inspect and test hose assemblies frequently.

1. Lift the outer tube of the packing box. Carefully examine the tool for shipping damage as
evidenced by dents, loose parts, etc. Report any shipping damage found to the carrier that
delivered the tool.
2. Lift out foot control valve and remove protective packing.
3. Remove the side panels (2) of the tool chassis. Keep the screws for reassembly. The tool is
bolted to the bottom base of the shipping carton. Remove these screws.
4. Lift the tool using the hand hole at the rear top of the chassis and the handle on the tool head.
Support the foot control valve and its lines to avoid damage while moving the tool.
5. The shipping carton has been specially prepared to protect the tool. It is recommended to keep
the carton and hardware so the tool can be repacked in it, should it be desirable to ship the tool to
another location or return it to the factory for service.
6. CAUTION: The tool weighs approximately 117 pounds. The aid of a suitable lifting device is
recommended for handling the tool. Use the lift points provided. See figure 2.
MOUNTING:
1. Locate the tool in its desired location, and secure the tool to the mounting surface with 5/16"
diameter bolts (4). Place the foot control valve on the floor. See figure 2 for location of the bolts.
2. A drain tube connected to the pipe connection on the bottom of the filter is supplied so the water,
automatically ejected, can be dumped. This drain line can be connected to a permanent drain
(recommended) or it can drain into a container. This line can be routed through the opening in the
front of the chassis. If alternate routing of the hose is desired, an access hole must be cut through
the chassis at the desired location.
3. Prepare the incoming air line, the supply air should be clean (filtered) and free of moisture.
Recommended air source hook up should be done with a quick-disconnect coupling such as a
Hansen 3000 series 1/4 npt socket and plug, or equivalent. For permanent hook up, use of a
shut-off valve in the air line is recommended to enable shut-off of the incoming air when servicing
the tool. Route the air line through the access hole in the rear of the chassis. Alternate routing of
the supply air can be done through the bottom of the chassis. Connect the air line to the tee fitting
in the inlet port of the filter. See figure 2.
4. Remove the filler plug of the lubricator, see figure 4, and fill the bowl to the fill line with the DTE 24
hydraulic oil supplied with the tool. Note
5. Do not fill past the fill line on the bowl. Reattach filler plug. The tool is ready for preliminary
operation. Do not reassemble the side panels. The lubricator must be checked for proper
operation. Refer to the operating instructions section.
WARNING: This tool is intended for use with industrial compressed air systems. The tool must not
be used where pressure or temperature may exceed the maximum rated operating condition as
stated in the specifications section. The polycarbonate plastic bowls used in this tool could be
damaged and possibly burst if exposed to strong alkali’s, compressor oils containing aromatic
hydrocarbons, synthetic oils, or fumes of these substances in contact with the polycarbonate plastic
bowls, externally or internally.
: The lubricator cannot be filled while tool is pressurized.

PRELIMINARY
Read air supply pressure gauge (Fig. 1). Air pressure should not be lower than 100 psi and no higher
than 120 psi. Depress the foot control valve pedal and hold the pedal down so the tool operates
through its cycle. When the tool has completed the cycle, release the pedal and the tool will reset for
the next cycle.
Cycle the tool three or four times without attempting to apply a clamp and observe the tool as it cycles
to become familiar with the operating sounds and action of the tool. During these cycles, check the air
lines for leaks and observe that the piston rods of the pull cylinder and cut-off cylinder operate freely.
CLAMP PULL PRESSURE GAUGE
Read the pressure shown on the clamp pull pressure gauge (Fig. 1) as the tool goes through the pullup cycle. The pressure to be read is the pressure shown at the time the control valve shifts.
Pressures shown on the gauge after the valve has shifted should be ignored.
CLAMP HOLD PRESSURE GAUGE
Read the pressure shown on the clamp hold pressure gauge (Fig. 1) as the tool goes through that
portion of the cycle. The pressures observed are those to which the tool is set to operate. The
pressure to be read is the pressure shown at the time the cut-off cylinder operates the cam to lock the
clamp and to cut-off clamp tail. Pressures shown on gauge at other times during the cycle are
unimportant and should be ignored. The cycle time, clamp pull pressure and clamp hold pressure
should always be checked as described prior to attempting to apply a clamp on an item.
ADJUSTMENT OF LUBRICATOR
The lubricator adjustment must be checked to determine that the drip rate is one drip per cycle (set
and locked at Band-It, does not need to be adjusted). Locate the drop rate adjustment knob on the
top of the lubricator (Fig. 4). The drip rate adjustment should be made only when there is a constant
flow of air through the lubricator (operate the tool).
Locate the sight dome just below the adjustment knob and observing the oil as it drips downward into
the lubricator. To adjust the drip rate, turn the slotted red rotator in sight feed dome counter-clockwise
to increase drip rate: clockwise to decrease the drip rate. When the proper rate of one drop per cycle
is obtained, stop adjustment. Do not operate the tool at a higher drip rate than recommended as the
larger amount of lubricant could adversely affect the operation of the time-delay valves and also result
in accumulation of lubricant near the air exhaust.
Operation at a lower drip rate can starve the cylinders and valves and reduce their life due to
premature wear.

ADJUSTMENT OF CYCLE TIME
The cycle time consists of two adjustable time elements. These can be adjusted as desired to: match
the operator’s skill, compensate for the difficulty of the assembly of the item being clamped, increase
or decrease the speed of the tool to allow the tool to tension the clamp, etc. A six second time for a
complete tool cycle is recommended as a reasonable time to make clamp assemblies, avoid operator
fatigue, and obtain a good production rate. The total time to apply a clamp will be increased by the
time to load the clamp on the item being clamped into the tool and removing the item and the spent
tail after clamping. It is not likely that the cycle time will need be adjusted frequently.
ADJUSTMENT OF CLAMP PULL TIME
This is the time needed to allow the pull cylinder to tighten the clamp and to build air pressure to the
pressure level selected. Pulling clamps with less than 40 psi does not require as much time to
tension the clamp so, if desired, the tool cycle time can be shortened. Conversely, if the tool is used
for clamps requiring pull pressure of 40 psi, or greater, the cycle time will need to be longer. To
adjust this time, remove the right side panel (4 screws) and locate the time delay valve (Fig. 4).
Locate the knurled adjustment knob (secured with a lock nut). Loosen the lock nut with a wrench and
turn the screw clockwise (right hand) to increase the cycle time, turn the screw counter-clockwise (left
hand) to decrease the cycle time. After an adjustment, it is recommended to cycle the tool a few
times to check the time to which the tool has been reset. When satisfied with the time, tighten the
lock nut to secure the adjustment knob and reassemble the side panel. A reasonable elapsed time
for this portion of the cycle is three seconds.
ADJUSTMENT OF CLAMP LOCKING AND CUT-OFF TIME
This is the time required to reduce the pressure in the pull cylinder to the clamp holding pressure and
to actuate the cut-off cylinder which locks the clamp and cuts off the clamp tail. For tools equipped
with the Band-It Jr. preformed clamp head, the operator must have time to roll the clamp up to
position for cut-off. Time required for roll up is dependent upon operator skill, familiarity with the tool,
weight and size of the item being clamped. To adjust this cycle time, remove the left side panel (four
screws) and locate the time control valve (Fig. 5). Locate the knurled adjustment knob (secured with
a lock nut). Loosen the lock nut with a wrench and turn the screw clockwise to increase the cycle
time, counter-clockwise to decrease the cycle time. Cycle the tool a few times to make certain the
cycle time is changed to that desired. Tighten the lock nut to secure the adjustment knob and
reassemble the side panel.

ADJUSTMENT OF CLAMP PULL PRESSURE
This adjustment will be required for different materials and construction of the items being clamped.
A convenient chart summarizing the maximum pressures to use for the most commonly used Band-It
clamps is located on the lower right front panel (Fig. 1). Note that this chart shows the maximum
pressure to be used. Pulling clamps to pressures higher than recommended may result in clamp
breakage or improper clamp locking caused by excessive stretching of the clamp band. It is likely
that a pressure setting slightly below this maximum will be satisfactory.
Some testing, by assembling clamps on a test specimen of the item being clamped, may be useful to
determine the desirable pressure setting. To adjust the pressure, locate the clamp pull pressure knob
(Fig. 1) on the front panel. Adjustment is made by a knurled knob secured with a lock ring. Pull the
lock ring out toward the knob so it can be turned. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the pressure
setting; counter-clockwise to decrease the pressure setting. The pressure to which the tool is set is
shown on the gauge beside the knob (Fig. 1). To check the pressure to which the tool is set, cycle
the tool and observe the maximum pressure reading shown on the gauge when the piston is all the
way in. Note that this pressure must be read during the pull cycle only. When the desired pressure is
obtained, push the lock ring in and the knob is locked. Note: It is important to adjust so the pressure
observed on the gauge is regulated to the desired pressure by the time the tool cycles and not
attempt to set the pressure so that it is changing rapidly and merely "passing through" the desired
pressure at the time the tool operates.
The latter condition can result in wide variations of pull pressure as the air pressure fluctuates.
ADJUSTMENT OF CLAMP HOLD PRESSURE
The pressure in the clamp pull cylinder must be reduced to allow the tool to lock the clamp after
pulling and to satisfactorily cut off the clamp tail. This pressure is adjusted by the knurled knob on the
left front panel (Fig. 1). The pressure to which the tool is set is shown on the gauge beside the knob
(Fig. 1). Note that during this cycle, the pressure drops rapidly. The tool must be set so the desired
pressure is shown at the instant the cut-off cylinder moves the cam out to lock the clamp and cut off
the tail. To adjust this pressure, pull the lock ring out and turn the knob clockwise to increase the
pressure; counter-clockwise to decrease the pressure.
A convenient chart summarizing the recommended pressures to use for the most common sizes of
Band-It clamps is located on the lower left front panel. Note that this chart shows only recommended
pressure settings; operation outside these pressure settings will possibly result in poor locks on the
clamps, breaking of the clamp band (pressure too high), or difficulty in cutting off the tail (pressure too
low). The tool should be cycled to check the pressure setting of the tool. When satisfactory, push the
lock ring in to secure the adjustment knob. Note: It is important that the pressure be adjusted so the
pressure is regulated to the desired holding pressure at the time the cut-off cylinder actuates and not
attempt to adjust the tool so the pressure is changing rapidly at the time the cylinder actuates. This
will result in consistent holding pressures.
The tool is ready for Band-It Jr. clamps.

The following step-by-step instructions should be followed to successfully tension and lock a clamp.
This information is also summarized on a decal located on the lower left front panel and explained in
further detail in other sections of this manual.
CAUTION! When operating, do not place fingers near or between the clamp band and the item being
clamped as they could be pinched.
1. Set and/or check clamp pull pressure.
2. Slide clamp over object being clamped. Insert tail of clamp into the open slot of the backing
plate of the clamp tool head. Push the clamp tail into the head as far as possible (the clamp
buckle should be almost touching the backing plate of the clamp tool head).
3. Support the item being clamped. The operator should hold the object so the clamp buckle is
essentially level with the tail and should also keep the object horizontal and lift it if necessary
as the weight of the assembly is not held by the clamp.
4. Depress the pedal of the foot control valve and hold the pedal down as the tool operates
through its cycle.
5. Allow the tool to tighten the clamp and observe the pull pressure. The tool will then
automatically cycle and lower the pressure in the pull cylinder to the hold pressure.
6. Roll up hose when clamp hold gauge drops to approximate roll up pressure shown in chart
below. Rotate object being clamped upward and position clamp buckle under shear hook of
machine.
7. Support the object being clamped as the cut-off cylinder automatically pushes the cam outward
to perform and cut-off operation.

STOPPING THE TOOL
Should the occasion arise that the tool operation must be stopped to clear a jammed clamp, the tool
cycle can be stopped by releasing the foot control valve and the tool will reset itself. Should the
control valve again be depressed prior to allowing the tool to reset, erratic cycling will result.

VALVES AND GAUGES
No periodic maintenance is required.
AIR LINES
No periodic maintenance is required. However, checking the tube connectors to see that they are
tight when the tool is serviced is recommended.
FILTER
Clean the filter a minimum of every six months or more frequently if dirt particles are observed to be
accumulating in the bowl.
LUBRICATOR
Drain and clean once a year or clean immediately if the lubricator is observed to be discolored or
contaminated. Keep the oil level to the fill line. DO NOT over-fill since this reduces the efficiency of
the lubricator. Discard the oil drained, do not reuse.
Automatic Air Tool
Warning: The lubricator should be refilled with DTE 24 hydraulic oil only. The
use of other oils may cause damage to the system.
CLAMP TAIL GRIPPER PLATE
Remove the clamp tail gripper as shown in figure 6, and remove the right hand side panel. Depress
the pedal of the fool control valve and allow the tool to cycle as though it was pulling a clamp. When
the piston rod is pulled all the way back, disconnect or shut off the air supply. The tool will stop its
action and the plate can be reached at the end of the piston rod. Slide tripper plate out of the piston
rod. Clean to remove any accumulation of dirt, debris, etc. and apply molybdenum disulfide lubricant
such as Molykote type G-n or equivalent to the edges of the plate. Reassemble the plate with
chamfered edge up and toward the front of the tool. Slide the plate all the way into the piston rod.
Reconnect or turn on the air. The tool will complete the cycle and return the piston rod toward the
front of the tool. Reassemble the clamp tail gripper and the tool is ready to use.

GENERAL
This tool has been designed and constructed to reduce minimum maintenance. Periodic checking of
the tool to check for loose screws and fittings that may have loosened is necessary. A thorough
check for air leaks, wear on the moving parts, etc. is recommended to keep the tool in peak operating
condition.
AIR EXHAUST MUFFLERS
Remove and clean once a year minimum with a degreaser (such as Gunk) to remove accumulated oil
deposits.
CYLINDERS
These cylinders have seals to keep dirt from entering the cylinders but the dirt accumulated at the
seals should be cleaned away a minimum of once a year (more often if used in a very dirty area).
CLAMP TAIL GRIPPER
To remove gripper, loosen set screw in bottom of piston rod head (Figure 6) and tap gripper pivot pin
through access holes in base and remove pin, slide gripper lever off spring loop.
Remove accumulated dirt and debris from the recesses or the teeth with a pointed object or knife
blade. This should be done frequently when pulling plated carbon clamps. Apply Molykote type G-n
or equivalent lubricant to the pivot pin.
JR. CLAMP HEAD
Keep sliding surfaces or the cam and shear hook well lubricated with a thin film of molybdenum
disulfide lubricant such as Molykote G-n lubricant or equivalent.
CUTTER BLADE/BACKING PLATE
Check daily to be certain these are tight. Frequently check both for chipped or broken edges and
replace if these are found. Inspect the lower edge of the cutter blade for sharp edges. If a sharp
edge is found, use a fine grained sharpening or honing stone and lightly stone the lower edges to a
smooth radius (Figure 7).
