Air Requirement
The A35199 and A35599 are pneumatic tools that need a clean and dry air supply.
The BAND-IT Air Regulator Module includes a filter to meet these requirements. For
proper tool performance, the air requirements at the inlet to the BAND-IT Air
Regulator Module must be:
Item Min Max
Inlet Supply Pressure (PSI) 100 140
Inlet SupplyAir Flow (SCFM) 1.5
Particle Size In Air Supply (microns) 5
Air Moisture Content 20% RH
Air Filter Environment:
Standard Filters/Regulators incorporate
polycarbonate bowls and/or observation
windows. DO NOT use in an environment that
will expose the above mentioned components
to synthetic fluids, organic solvents, chemicals,
cutting lubricants, thread lock solutions or
similar materials.

Operating
Manual
1. Connect tool and air regulator using coil hose.
2. All tools are factory set for nominal clamping conditions.
3. If required, adjust pressure by opening cover, loosen the 5/16 hex nut slightly under the
adjustment knob.
4. Touch ON/OFF button on the digital gage to turn on readout. Readout will auto shutoff after 20
minutes
5. Adjust the regulator while reading the digital pressure gage to achieve the correct psi, Turn
Clockwise to increase pressure, counterclockwise to reduce air pressure.
(The following set-up is for reference only)
• Micro 1/8 inch band, 23 psi, 80 pound pull.
• Standard ¼ inch band, 44 psi, 150 pound pull.
6. The digital gauge on the top of the controller box MUST indicate the proper pressure for the type
of tool and band used.
7. Lock the adjustment shaft by tightening the 5/16 nut under the adjustment knob.
CAUTION:
1. DO NOT ADJUST THE REGULATOR IN THE REGULATOR BOX TO MORE THAN 100 PSI,
IT WILL DAMAGE THE TOOL.
2. Do not over tighten the 5/16 hex locking collar for the regulator shaft, damage may
occur.
3. Under tensioned clamps result in loose assemblies. Excessive tension may damage
clamp or object cause injuries or property damage.

Operation Instruction
1. Insert band tail through the tool nose opening, making sure that clamp circle
is directed away from the tool body as shown.
2. To tension the band, press and hold down actuator button. Always install bands
perpendicular to the axis of the object to be clamped. Do not force tool sideways
or in any other direction when band tail is under tension or during cut-off. Doing
so, may damage clamp and/or tool.
3. The Pneumatic tool will automatically cut the band once the desired tension has
been reached. If no cut-off occurs, check to make sure the automatic cut-off
switch has been turned “on” (the silver switch on the back side of the handle
should point toward the red reset button). If the switch is pointing in the wrong
direction, flip it to the “auto” position and the tool will cut off the band. If cut-off
stalls, turn switch off and immediately on again while holding down actuator
button. This may have to be done only once with the first band, after tool has been
pressurized.
4. Immediately after cut-off, release actuator button and remove the excess band.

A35199 Standard Pneumatic Tool
1. Be sure to read tool instructions(Page 4 to 9) and safety guides (page 3) before using
tool.
2. Tool is factory calibrated to 150 ±5 lbs tension. (REF. ~ 44 psi on air pressure gage).
For accurate tension setting, calibration device must be used (part number: E1000).
For calibration procedure see Page 16& 17. Calibration with device will ensure proper
tension setting.
3. A35199 pneumatic tool used only on 0.240” wide BAND-IT Tie-Dex Standard Bands.
Note: 0.250” wide bands can not be inserted into tool.
4. Condition of locking lip should be visually inspected on completed clamps. If lip
appears partially torn, damaged or not present at all, check tool tension and condition
of blade and knife. Make necessary adjustments and repairs. Be sure to remove and
replace faulty clamps.
Warning:
For A35199 tool, adjusting tension above 160 lbf may damage tool or tie (or both).

Adjust Cut-off Timer:
1. Do not alter factory setting, unless necessary.
2. A small copper screw found on the back of the tool handle (above the reset
button) adjusts the cut-off timing. (Fig. 8)
3. Using a small, standard screwdriver, turn the screw clockwise to increase
the cut-off delay, and counter-clockwise to decrease the cut-off delay.
Adjusting cut-off delay timing too short will result in premature cut-off, and a
loose clamp. The moment cut-off is actuated, the pressure gauge shows the
correct tension setting
