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.

Always wear safety glasses when operating this tool. Keep both hands away from clamp being tensioned. Use
common sense, squeezing force of ¾” clamp can reach as high as 2 tons. Never attempt to clamp objects which
can shatter, or otherwise cause bodily harm.
Read safety instructions and operator’s manual of the METABO electric drill. Check to make sure drill is properly
set up for use with BAND-IT Ultra-Lok tool as follows:
Drill spindle has adapter clutch (BAND-IT # M03990) installed in place of standard drill chuck.
Gear selector must be on slow (setting 1), and set as shown on page 4.
Impact drive must be disengaged and set to (drill symbol).
1. Plug drill into standard 115V AC, 60 Hz outlet. If using and extension cord, a 14 gauge cord is suggested for
lengths up to 50 feet, 12 gauge cord required if running longer than 50 feet, 10 gauge cord if running over 100 feet.
2. To mount drill onto BAND-IT Ultra-Lok tool: First use the two #10-32 x 3/8” screws supplied with tool to tighten tool
adapter body to the tool. With adapter clamp on tool adapter body, insert drill into back of tool through the adapter
clamp. Turn drill manually to desired position in relation to tool. Press the drill firmly into tool. Actuate drill if
necessary to engage drill safety clutch (M03990) to tension screw. Tighten clamp screw while keeping the drill
firmly pressed against the tool. To remove drill from tool: loosen the clamp screw and pull drill away from the tool.
NOTE: When tightening the adapter clamp screw, safety clutch (M03990) must be engaged with tension screw
inside of BAND-IT tool.
3. This tool was designed for, and can only be used with BAND-IT Ultra-Lok clamps. Do not attempt to use on any
other type of clamp, it may damage tool. Note: An optional adapter can be purchased to apply ½” Ultra-Lok clamp,
Use only with BAND-IT ¾” Ultra-Lok Free-End and Preformed Clamps

to attain correct tension when installing clamps. Tension output may be somewhat different depending on condition
and wear of internal components from tool to tool on same setting.
Pre-set tension is achieved when drill stops and on some models, may pulsate. Excessive pulsation (more than
twice) will result in more tension applied to the clamp.
The UL9010 tool is designed to work mounted securely to the Metabo drill Model SBE 900 IMPULS. Use of any
other drill 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.

NOTE: These torque settings are suggested settings only, individual tools should be adjusted for the clamping
application.
*IMPORTANT: Larger sizes of preformed clamps (5" and up) may require a lower setting to avoid overstressing the lock and creating potentially unsafe assemblies. Inspect lock per instructions on pages 9-11.
Changing the speed setting will alter tension output. Drill switch must be depressed fully by the operator
