Warranty:

Refer to website for warranty information: www.band-it-idex.com/warranty.html

NOTE: Any performance data published herein is based on laboratory tests, which cannot duplicate conditions that may be encountered in field installations. Such conditions may vary results substantially from those shown (such as abuse in handling and installation, failure to follow recommended handling and installation practices, abnormal environmental conditions, disregard of operating instructions for BAND-IT tools or non-recommended combinations of BAND-IT products). BAND-IT cannot be responsible for performance characteristics from such variables.

Safety Guidelines

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 trigger. 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.

Settings

NOTE: When tightening the adapter clamping screw, safety clutch (M21790) must be engaged with tension screw inside of BAND-IT tool.

Important: Changing speed setting will alter tension output. Speed setting must remain at 1 when applying tension to the clamp tail. Drill switch must be depressed fully by the operator to attain correct tension when installing clamps. Tension output may be somewhat different from tool to tool on the same setting, depending on condition and wear of internal components.

CAUTION !

The UL4000 tool is designed to work mounted to the DeWalt DC987/DW987/DC925 cordless drill. Use of any other drills in place of the DeWalt may result in unsatisfactory performance, hazards to the operator and/or the tool, or unsafe clamps. Use of alternate drills must be approved in writing by the Director of Engineering at BAND-IT-IDEX, Inc. Disregard of this caution voids the warranty of the tool and releases BAND-IT of any and all liabilities arising from such misuses.

Use of Alternate Drills

NOTE: These torque settings are suggested settings only, individual tools should be adjusted for the clamping application. The tool accompanying this manual was function tested at a clutch setting of __________ and produced a pull-up force of _____________ lbf. Serial #__________________Tested by:________________ Test date:_______________

*IMPORTANT: Larger sizes of preformed clamps (5" and up) may require a lower setting to avoid over-stressing the lock and creating potentially unsafe assemblies. Inspect lock per instructions on page 9-11.
