Hand Tool
1. Slide buckle on band as shown.
Bring tip of band around workpiece
and again through buckle.
Note: Band may be used from bulk roll
as this completely eliminates waste of
band.
2. Insert band around workpiece
again and through buckle. Double
wrapping develops much more radial
compression than single wrapping.
Bend end of band under buckle.
3. Place band in opening of tool nose
and Gripper Block. Move into slot as
far as possible, to avoid buckle sliding
into Tool Nose. Tighten band clamp by
turning the Tension Handle clockwise
while holding Band Gripper tight against
band. NOTE: The spring load of the
band gripper is not intended to secure
and prevent the band from slipping
during tension process.
4. Place finger on BAND-IT Band at
buckle bridge while tensioning. When
you observe the band stops moving
through the buckle, maximum pressure
is being exerted around the workpiece.
Stop turning handle.
5. Roll tool over buckle, backing off
with Tension Handle 1 - 1½ turns
throughout entire rolling operation.
Failure to back off tension with tension
handle throughout roll-over may result
in breaking the band. There is no loss
of tension as band released is used up
in this process.
6. Rotate Cutting Handle forward to cut
the band. When applying Giant Band
clamps, prior to cutting off clamp,
release Band Gripper and push Tool
Nose away from buckle approx. ¼”.
7. Remove tool, holding
stub of band down.
8. Hammer down buckle ears
to complete BAND-IT clamp.
