WARNING Hazard of injury due to spring back strap and falling down objects. Do not adjust
the tensioning force too high. If the tension force is adjusted to high, the strap will break during

disorders and damages of the tool. After welding and cooling the tool has to be removed from the
strapping before a new strapping cycle is started.
