1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow these instructions can result in severe personal injury.
Eye injury hazard
Failure to wear safety glasses with side shields can result in
severe eye injury or blindness. Always wear safety g lasses with
side shields which conform to ANSI Standard Z87.1.
Operation
Tool must not be used by persons not properly trained in their use.
Before tensioning strap, read and understand the tool operating
instructions. Failure to follow the operating instructions or improper
load positioning could result in strap breakage.
Become familiar with your tool and keep fingers away from a reas
that can pinch or cut.
Joints
You are fully responsable to review the joints made by your tool.
Become familiar with the seal control and seal adjustment described in this operation manual. Misformed joints may not secure the
load and could cause serious injury. Never handle or ship any load
with improperly formed joints.
Dispensing strap
Only dispense strap from a dispenser specifically designed for
strap.
Tuck strap end back into dispenser when not in use.
Protective gloves
When handling strap, always wear protective gloves.
Strap warnings
Never use strap as a means of pulling or lifting loads. Failure to f ollow these warnings can result in severe personal injury.
Strap breakage hazard
Improper operation of the tool, excessive tensioning, using strap
not recommended for this tool or sharp corners on the load can
result in a sudden loss of strap tension or in strap breakage during
tensioning, which could result in the following:
• A sudden loss of balance causing you to fall.
• Both tool and strap flying violently towards your face.
Note as follows:
• If the load corners are sharp, use edge protectors.
• Place the strap correctly around a properly positioned
load.
• Positioning yourself in-line with the strap, during tensioning and sealing, can result in severe personal injury from
flying strap or tool. When tensioning or sealing, position
yourself to one side of the strap and keep all bystanders
away.
• Use the correct strap quality, strap width, strap gauge and
strap tensile strength recommended in this manual for
your tool. Using strap not recommended for this tool can
result in strap breakage during tensioning.
Cutting tensioned strap
When cutting strapping, use the proper strapping cutter and keep
other personnel and yourself at a safe distance from the strap.
Always stand to side of the strap, away from the direction the loosened strap end will fly. Use only cutters designed for strap and
never hammers, pliers, hacksaws, axes, etc.
Fall hazard
Keep your working area tidy. Untidiness of your working area may
cause a risk of injury. Maintaining improper footing and/or balance
when operating the tool can cause you to fall. Before tensioning
and especially in elevated areas, always establish good balance.
Both feet should be securely placed on a flat, solid surface, especially when working in elevated areas. Do not use the tool when
you are in an awkward position.
Pay attention to the rules and regulations for preventions of accident which are valid for the work place.
T ool hazards
A well maintained tool is a safe tool!
Check tool regularly for broken or worn parts. Do not operate a
tool with broken or worn parts.
Never modify any tool. Modification can result in severe bodily
injury.

5.1 Sound information
The A-weighted equivalent continuous sound level at the work place of the machine operator is
typical 79 dB (A).
This value was determined according to DIN 45 635 T3 (11.85).
5.2 Vibration information
The weighted effective value of the acceleration typically amounts to less than 2,5m/s2.
This value was determined according to DIN EN 28 662 T1 (01.93).
6 INSTALLATION
6.1 Compressed air connection
The air tube is preferably connected to the tool using a quick coupling. An air unit consisting of a separator for
water and dirt, a pressure regulator with a manometer and a lubricator should be installed within a distance of
15 ft / 5 meters. The compressed air must be free from dirt, rust and moisture.
