Operating instructions
1.
TITAN steel strap around package
from top. Pull end of strap until it is
positioned in the middle of the
package below the upper strap.
2.
Pull through the strap end until it is in
the centre of the package beneath
the upper run of strap and juts out
approx. 15 cm.
3.
With the left hand hold the upper and
lower run of the strap together. Both
straps must be placed exactly on top
of one another. Grip and press rocker
509 together with the cutting lever 35
with the right hand. Insert the steel
strap laterally until it strikes against
the case wall, ensuring that the lower
run of strap projects slightly out of the
tool at the front. The right hand now
releases the levers which have been
pressed together.
If the straps are not inserted correctly in the tool, it is not possible to
perform the tensioning operation.
HKE-L
H 223 EU 21/06
4.
If necessary, tighten the great
strap loop. The left hand pulls the
strap loop, the right hand grasps
the lifting Rocker 509.
5.
The right hand grasps the tension
lever 508 and moves it back and
forth to obtain the desired strap
tension. At the same time the left
hand holds the cutting lever 35.
6.
After having reached the desired
strap tension bring tension lever
508 back into its initial position.
The right hand remains there and
provides support for the joining
process. The TITAN “No-seal” joint
is formed by pushing the cutting
lever 35 forwards rapidly with the
left hand until it strikes against the
case; the steel strap is
simultaneously cut off directly
behind the joint.
7.
Bring tension lever 508 back into
its initial position. Grasp and press
together rocker 509 with cutting
lever 35. Withdraw the tool from
the package by a rotary movement
to the right side.

The following picture shows a correctly carved seal.
Check the seals regular:
for even carved cuttings,
for neat cutting edges,
for that the lower run of strap is soaked in the cuttings,
for correct adjustment of the cutter,
for a sufficient overlap of the lower run of strap and
for that the seal is placed in the centre of the strap.

Adjustments
7.1.
Cutter adjustment
The cutter has been adjusted for the
respective thickness in the case of
varying strap thicknesses.
Release hexagon nut 72, turn set screw
49 (thread pin with flat point) by means
of a screwdriver,
clockwise = less cutting
depth
counter clockwise = greater cutting
depth
Fasten hexagon nut 72 after adjustment has been completed.
Note! After adjustment there should not be any, or very
few, signs of cutting on the lower strap.
7.2.
Distance between the feed wheel and the gripper plate
The distance between the feed wheel 29
and the gripper plate 503 is adjusted to
0.2 mm. The adjusting screw 84 is
located behind the plastic cover of the
housing. Unscrew the hexagon nut 8
using the 10 mm open-jawed spanner
and adjust a 0.2 mm gap at the
adjusting screw 84.
Note!
The feed wheel and the gripper plate may not come
into contact with each other. Otherwise both parts
will be subject to premature wear.

The strap guide 500 located next to the
feed wheel is replaced when the strap
width is modified. In order to do so the
safety ring has to be removed by means
of a screwdriver and the lifting rocker
509 and the cutting lever 35 pressed
together. The strap guide may now be
pulled off towards the front and be
replaced with the strap guide for other
strap widths. Replace safety ring
afterwards.
Since the strap is guided at three points
in the tool the rear strap guide 42 and
the strap guide front 76 also have to be
set in such a way that the punching is
placed at the centre of the strap.
In order to do this, loosen the two
fastening screws for the rear strap guide
42 and adjust the strap guide to the
respective strap width.
Left = 13mm
Middle = 16mm
Right = 19mm
Fasten screws afterwards.
Also loosen the cap screw at the front strap guide 76 and place the corresponding
number of washers DIN 125-6.4 under the strap guide:
13 mm band width = 2 washers
16 mm band width = 1 washer
19 mm band width = no washer
Fasten cap screw again after adjustment.
