Guidelines
CAUTION!
This tool is designed to work solely mounted to the Bosch DDH181-01 or Bosch GSR 18 VE-2LI
Professional cordless drill. Use of any other drills in place of these Bosch drills may result in unsatisfactory
performance, hazards to the operator and/or the tool, or unsafe clamps. 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
Warranty
Refer to website for warranty information: http://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
WARNING:
Always wear safety glasses when operating this tool and keep both hands and clothing away from clamp being
tensioned. Squeezing force can reach as high as 2 tons. Never attempt to clamp objects which can shatter or
otherwise cause bodily harm. 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 FOR HOSE APPLICATIONS:
When clamping a hose end, remember that a tighter clamp keeps the fitting more secure, but excess
tension can 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.
Improperly tightened clamps may result in dangerous hose assemblies, which could cause injuries or property
damage.
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.
Clamping objects other than hose requires similar precautions.
Use only with BAND-IT 3/4" and 1/2" Ultra-Lok Free-End and Preformed Clamps

Ultra-Lok Tool
Setup
Instructions
1. Read safety instructions and operator‟s manual for the Bosch DDH181-01 or Bosch GSR 18 VE-2LI Professional
cordless Drill. Check to make sure drill is properly set up for use with Band-It Ultra-Lok tool as follows:
---- Drill spindle has a Clutch (Band-It # M31790) installed in place of the Drill Chuck.
---- See page 5 for recommended Drill speed and torque settings.
2. Charge Drill Battery according to the operator‟s manual.
3. To mount the Drill onto the Band-It Ultra-Lok Tool: First, using the two #10-32 x 3/8" screws (M06187), tighten the
Tool Body Adapter (M06288) on the Tension Tool (UL0001) with 20–30 in-lbs. Place the Adapter Collar (M08388)
over the Tool Body Adapter. Orient the Drill Clutch Pin (M07187) horizontally (see p. 4 Figure 2). Carefully place the
Tool Body Adapter over the Drill Torque Dial. If there is any additional resistance, gently rotate the Tension Tool until
the Tension Screw engages with the Drill Clutch (M31789) (see p. 4 Figure 3), and rotate Tension Tool to the desired
orientation. Position Tool Body Adapter to butt-up against the shoulder of the drill. Slide the Adapter Collar against
this shoulder and fasten to 40–60 in-lbs.
4. This tool was designed for, and can only be used with BAND-IT 1/2" and 3/4" wide Ultra-Lok clamps. Do not attempt
to use on any other type of clamp style. Only use 1/2" wide clamps when the optional 1/2" Shear Plate (BAND-IT
# M09387) has been installed in the head in place of the 3/4" Shear Plate. See page 14 for ½” blade change
procedure.

Ultra-Lok Tool
Settings
Important: Changing speed and clutch settings will alter tension output. Drill Trigger should be
depressed fully by the operator to attain correct, and consistent, tension when installing clamps. Tension
output may vary from tool to tool, at the same setting, depending on condition and wear of internal
components.
Caution: Improperly tightened clamps may result in dangerous assemblies, which could cause injuries
or property damage.
Using correctly sized clamps (diameter) will, in most cases, eliminate the need to pull on clamp tail more
than once. Tension Block moves approximately 5". On occasion, if needed, large size clamps can be
installed by taking several bites (clamp tail feeds out through back of tool). Position of Tension Block,
containing gripper, can be monitored through viewing slot just under cut-off handle. The tool features a
built-in disengaging mechanism to prevent tension screw from jamming up. At the end of the Tension
Block travel the safety clutch will engage and the user will hear a ratcheting sound. Excessive use of
this feature will wear the Drill Clutch mechanism and/or Tension Screw out prematurely.
NOTE: These torque settings are suggested settings only; individual tools should be
adjusted for the clamping application. Inspect lock per instructions on page 9-11.
