If the tool fails to fully tension the clamp:
Failure to fully tension the clamp can be caused by a variety of factors. The two
most common factors are incorrect tension pressure and problems with the grippers.
• Check tension pressure setting on Tension Pressure Gauge of Air Controller Module.
Adjust pressure per the settings found in the “Air System Settings” page.
• Evaluate the clamp tail dimple pattern. If elongated dimples are present, the problem
may be with the Tension Block or Front Gripper.
• If a problem is indicated, follow the instructions in the “Maintenance” section to remove
and inspect the tension block assembly and the front gripper.
• Examine the Tension Block and Tension Gripper for damage or wear.
• Examine the Front Gripper area for foreign debris and/ or buildup of metal shavings.
• Ensure that the four cutter blade screws are tightened.
• If excessive damage or wear is determined, replace the worn parts.
