TOOL INSTALLATION
To operate effectively, your tool must be installed properly. This installation includes proper
suspension of the tool over the package to be strapped, correct placement of a strapping
dispenser to provide a continuous easy supply of strap for the application, and a satisfactory air
supply with air line pressures being maintained within the specified range.
TOOL OPERATION
Position the sealer jaws over the seal. Press the
trigger located on the handle grip. Make sure the
trigger is kept completely pressed in until the notching
action is complete. When the tool is used with
pressure properly set at 90 psig (6.2 bar), sealing
occurs immediately. If operating the tool at less than
the recommended operating pressure, sealing takes
longer; therefore take care to make sure that sealing is
complete before releasing the trigger.

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.
