SYMBOL EXPLANATION
Warning: Hazardous Voltage
Disconnect power before servicing
The PAT Cable Tie Installation Tools are electrically powered and controlled by the PDM4.0 Dispenser. Designed
for easy operation; hand held, lightweight; f or right or left-hand us e. The tool jaws are norm ally open for easy
positioning around wire h arnesses and the jaws are clos ed by pulling up on the trigger bef ore application of the
cable tie and maintaining t h e j a w clos ed unt il th e cycle is complete. After t he ca bl e ti e has been applied, the j aws
are re-opened upon release of the trigger for positioning of the tool at the next cable tie location.
The PDM4.0 Dispenser controls the P AT I nstal la tio n Tool operation. The dispen ser has an el ect ronic display that
provides a step-by-step menu f or feature s elections and he lps to ide ntify err ors to r educe do wntime. T he dis play
also functions in conjunction with the audible alarm, providing the operator with the specific status of certain
malfunctions, such as: Dispenser jam, Tie in hose, Tie in tool, etc. Each m essage is explained in the Error Messages, Functional Messages, or Functional Troubleshooting Checklist sections. The dispenser includes a
resettable counter that c an recor d tie counts f or production ru ns and m aintenance intervals. A carrier str ip scr ap
bin is also included to coll ec t the carr ier strip ( rem aining sc rap as t he cable ties are detac hed f rom the continuous
strand).
The PHM Feeder Hose co nnects the tool to t he dispenser with quick connec t couplings o n both hose en ds. The
ends are interchangeable, allowing either end to be connected to the tool or the dispenser. The feeder hose allows
a single cable tie to be conveyed (blown) from the dispenser, through the hose, to the tool, each cycle.
The PATMBM4.0 Bench Mount allows hands-free operation, actuation and 90° pitch adjustment of the
installed tool. The tool is mounted in the PATMB M4.0 so the work can be brought to the tool. Depressing
the foot pedal then actuates the tool.

3: GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
The PAT1M4.0 / PAT1.5M4.0 System is pneumatically and electrically operated and electronically controlled.
Therefore, certain safety practices must be followed.
WARNING
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
• The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your main-operated (cor ded) power
3A: Work Area Safety
1 Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2 DO NOT OPERATE POWER TOOLS IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES, SUCH AS IN THE
PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, GASES OR DUST. Power tools cre ate sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes. Provide adequate ventilation around the product.
3 KEEP CHILDREN AND BYSTANDERS AWAY WHILE OPERATING A POWER TOOL.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
3B: Electrical Safety
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug i n any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthe d or grounded surfaces , such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. DO NOT EXPO SE POWER TOOLS TO R AIN OR WET CONDITIONS. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. DO NOT abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension c ord suitable for outdoor us e. Use
of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduc es the risk of electr ic shock. NOTE: The term
“residual current device (RCD)” may be replaced by the term “ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)”
or “earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.
7. Only operate the PAT system in a clean, dry, indoor environment
3C: Personal Safety
1. STAY ALERT, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you a re tir ed or under the i nflue nce of drugs, a lc ohol or
medication. A moment of inattent ion whi le operati ng pow er tools may res ult in s erious per sonal
injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position befor e co nnecting to
power source and/o r battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools wit h
your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench befor e turning the po wer tool on. A wr ench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better c ontr ol
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or je welry. Keep your ha ir, clothing a nd gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extracti on and collection faciliti es, ensure
these are connected a nd properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
8. Hearing protection is recommended to be worn during operation of tool.
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools. Che ck for misalignment or binding of moving parts , breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maint ain ed c utt in g to ols with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

strip till the rem aining carrier strip is f ully removed from the dispenser. Remove all c ut cable ties under th e
dispenser before loading the new cable tie reel.
3. Once the full cable tie ree l is positioned correctl y, to reload, follow the Loading X MR Cable Ties section on
Page 17.
Follow this operation procedure to correctly apply cable ties. To begin, follow the Start Up Checklist below to assure
safety and optimum system operation.
8A: Start Up Checklist
1. Is the PDM4.0 Dispenser connected to the air supply? (Refer to the System Connection section on Page 14.)
2. Is the air pressure s et properly? 65 PSIG with a m aximum 10 PSI drop is recomm ended. (Refer to the Air Supply section on Page 12.)
3. Is the PDM4.0 Dispenser loaded properly? (Refer to the Loading Procedure section on Page 17.)
4. Is the PHM Feeder Hose securely connected t o t he P AT 1M4.0 or PAT1.5M4.0 Tool, and PDM4.0 Dispenser?
(Refer to the Hose and Tool Assembly section on Page 15.)
5. Is the Menu on th e PDM4.0 Dispenser displ aying “ready” in the green b ar o n top of the screen? The O per ator
Menu must be displaying the ready state for the tool to dispense cable ties. Refer to the Cable Tie Installation
section (next) for proper menu display.
8B: Cable Tie Installation
1. Review and follow all of the Safety Practices on Pages 8, being certain to wear adequate eye protection.
2. Verify that the Menu is displaying “Ready” in green bar on the PDM4.0 Dispenser screen as shown below. The
PAT1M4.0 and PAT1.5M 4.0 Tools can only dispense cable ties if the Menu is in the ready state.
The Level 1 Menu in the “Ready” state:
3. Grasp the tool with either hand, a nd slip the open jaws around t he bundle or item to be cable tied. It is
recommended to have the bundle as close to the throat of the tool as possible without contacting the jaw track
when triggering. When bundles are away from the throat, the tool may not tension properly. The image below
shows best case and worst case bundle positions for successful tensioning.
NOTE: Bundles should be routed at least 2" (51 mm) off the harness board for easy tool jaw access. However,
DO NOT allow the wire bu ndles to be forced into t he j aw t rac k. This will hinder the tr a ve l of the c ab le
tie around the jaws and could increase the possibility of a mis-feed (cable tie tail will be blocked by wire
bundle when attempting to feed into cable tie head).
4. When the jaws are posit ioned at the preferred loc ation for a c able tie, close t he rear jaw b y lifting the tri gger.
When the trigger is lifted to the h ighest p oint, the tool cycle wi ll start. Hold th e trigger m omentar ily for proper
cycling of the tool. The cable tie will be applied, tensioned and cut off.
5. At the completion of the cycle, release the trigger to open the rear jaw. Relocate the tool at the next desired
cable tie location and repeat as required.
NOTE: If a malfunction occurs, or a cable tie is not app lied properly, then a buzzer will sound and an error
message will be d isplayed. Follow t he "Help" instruc tions on display or refer to the Error Messages
section on Pages 28-48 for more specific instructions.
HINT: When applying several cable t ies on a long bund le, the tool can be moved along the bundle to each
location, and cycled, with out openi ng the jaws. This can be done by slight ly relaxing pr essure on t he
tool trigger (but not enou gh to open the j aws), and the n lifting the trigger to the highest p oint to cycle
the tool. With practice, this technique can be accomplished with minimal effort.
8C: Cable Tie Installation Techniques
Always use the following cable tie installation techniques to promote continuous trouble-free usage of the
PAT1M4.0/PAT1.5M4.0 System. These techniques will prevent incomplete cable tie installations and system
interruption.
•Prevent severe bends or twists in the PHM Feeder Hose. This will prevent interference with the cable tie travel
to the tool and, in turn, reduce incomplete cycles.
•Dres s the wires to result in a com pact bundle; .82" (21 mm ) in diameter or less for the PAT1M4.0 Tool, and
1.31" (33 mm) in diameter or less for the PAT1.5M4.0 Tool. This will prevent loose cable ties or cable ties that
do not stay on the bundle.
•Hold the to ol perpendicu lar, in both direc tions, to the bundle or item to be cable ti ed. Left to right, and top t o
bottom. This will prevent loose cable ties and cable ties that are not cut off flush to the head.
•Althou gh t he to ol does n ot r equire any specific positioning on the bundle within the jaws, always all o w the to ol
to seek its own position as the cab le tie is bei ng tensioned. D O NOT pull on the tool or restr ict its m ovement
toward the bundle, or loose cable ties or non-flush cable tie tail cutoffs will result.
•DO NOT place the bundle or item against the back of the jaw area. Mis-feeds may result.
•Each harness or item to be cable tied should be supported off the harness board at least 2" (51 mm). Panduit
Harness Board Accessories provide the ideal harness height for automatic cable tie application.
•DO NO T ins tall cab le t ies too close to a previously installed cab le t ie or a har n ess s uppor t, or any other object
on the bundle. Loose cable ties or long cutoffs may result. Always allow enough space between cable ties and
other objects, so that the tool can move freely toward the bundle as the cable tie is pulled tight.
•Store t he cable t ies pro perl y, accordi ng to the s tor age spec ificat ions, and use th em befor e the expira tion d ate
to prevent dryness and brittleness. Dry or brittle cable ties may break during installation.
