Use the correct Signode products for your application. If you need help contact your
Signode Representative.
Signode tools and machines are designed and warranted to work together with Signode
strapping and seals. Use of non-Signode strap, seals and/or manufactured or specified
replacement parts may result in strap breakage or joint separation while applying strapping
to a load or during normal shipping and handling. This could result in serious personal
injury.
JOINT FORMATION
An improperly formed joint, or a joint with an incorrect number of
notches, could result in strap separation. Before moving any package,
be certain that the joint is formed as shown in the illustration. If not,
remove the strap and check the tool for worn or broken parts. Repair the
tool before applying another strap. Failure to follow this procedure
could result in serious injury or death. If you have questions regarding
proper joint formation, contact your Signode Sales Representative.
Before making a double reverse notch seal joint, read the sealing tool’s
Operation, Parts ans Safety Manual. A properly formed double reverse
notch joint will appear as shown in the illustration. More than one seal
may be required for your application. Always use the correct number of
seals recommended by your Signode Sales Representative.
If the double reverse notch joint does not appear as shown in the illustration, proceed as follows:
A. Review the tool’s operating instructions to be ceratin that the tool is being operated
properly before applying another strap.
B. Cut the strap off and apply a new strap and seal.
Tuck strap end back into the dispenser when not in use.
MOVING AND STACKING STRAPPED LOADS
Before moving or stacking any strapped load, follow all standard industry practices regarding safe
material handling procedures.
CUTTING TENSIONED STRAP
Use only cutters designed for cutting strap; never use claw hammers, crowbars, chisels, axes or
similar tools. Such tools will cause the strap to fly apart with hazardous force. Before using any
Signode product, read its Operation and Safety Manual.
