INTRODUCTION
The SCM is a light weight, manually operated hand tool intended for use with Apex and Magnus
strapping. The tool is easy to load, tension and seal.
Once the strap has been placed around the package, the operator puts both layers of strap into
the tool, lowers the feed wheel, removes any strap slack and tensions the strap. The keyed
sealless joint is then created and the strap is cut free of the supply.
This manual provides the information necessary for the operation of the SCM hand tool and lists
all of the parts in the event maintenance is needed. Therefore, it is valuable and should be saved.
Extra care should be taken in performing maintenance on the SCM since fasteners and other small
components used on this tool are a combination of SAE and metric sizes.
