Warranty:
Refer to website for warranty information: www.band-it-idex.com/warranty.html
NOTE: Any performance data published herein is based on laboratory tests, which cannot duplicate conditions that may
be encountered in field installations. Such conditions may vary results substantially from those shown (such as abuse in
handling and installation, failure to follow recommended handling and installation practices, abnormal environmental
conditions, disregard of operating instructions for BAND-IT tools or non-recommended combinations of BAND-IT
products). BAND-IT cannot be responsible for performance characteristics from such variables.
Safety Guidelines
When applying clamps, care should be taken to make certain that fingers are not in the way of the clamp being
applied. Tensioning the clamp can be stopped immediately by releasing the trigger. Detailed instructions are in
this manual and the operator is advised to read it and become familiar with operating the tool.
IMPORTANT: When clamping a hose end, remember that a tighter clamp keeps the fitting more secure, but
excess tension could damage the hose. Fitting stem must have prominent barbs for proper retention inside the
hose, but must not be sharp to prevent cutting into the hose. Hose, fitting and clamp must be compatible with
each other and the environment used in. If in doubt, consult the hose or fitting manufacturer or call BAND-IT.
Clamping objects other than hose requires similar precautions.
CAUTION: Improperly tightened clamps may result in dangerous hose assemblies, which could cause injuries or
property damage.
CAUTION: Abuse or use of a hose outside the manufacturers recommended conditions may cause it to quickly
deteriorate and become a safety hazard. This could result in serious injury or property damage. Inspect and test
hose assemblies frequently.

1. Read safety instructions and operator‟s manual for the DeWalt DC987/DW987/DC925 cordless drill. Check to make
sure drill is properly set up for use with Band-It Ultra-Loktool as follows:
-----Drill spindle has adapter clutch (Band-It #M21790) installed in place of standard drill chuck.
-----Speed gear selector must be on number 1, and drill clutch torque setting as shown on page 5.
2. Charge drill according to the operator‟s manual for the DeWalt cordless drill.
3. To mount drill onto Band-It Ultra-Lok tool: First use the two #10-32 x 3/8” screws supplied with tool to tighten tool
adapter body to the tool. With adapter clamp on tool adapter body, insert drill into back of tool through the adapter
clamp. Turn drill manually to desired position in relation to tool. Press the drill firmly into tool. Actuate drill if necessary
to engage drill safety clutch (M21790) to tension screw. Tighten clamp screw while keeping the drill firmly pressed
against the tool. To remove drill from tool: loosen the clamp screw and pull drill away from the tool.
4. This tool was designed for, and can only be used with BAND-IT ¾” and ½” wide Ultra-Lokclamps. Do not attempt to
use on any other type of clamp as it may damage tool. Only use ½” wide clamps when the optional ½” shear plate
(BAND-IT #M09387) has been installed in the head in place of the ¾” shear plate.

Ultra-LokTool
Settings
NOTE: When tightening the adapter clamping screw, safety clutch (M21790) must be engaged
with tension screw inside of BAND-IT tool.
Important: Changing speed setting will alter tension output. Speed setting must remain at 1when
applying tension to the clamp tail. Drill switch must be depressed fully by the operator to attain
correct tension when installing clamps. Tension output may be somewhat different from tool to
tool on the same setting, depending on condition and wear of internal components.
Caution: Improperly tightened clamps may result in dangerous assemblies, which could cause
injuries or property damage.
Using correctly sized clamps (diameter) will, in most cases, eliminate the need to pull on clamp
tail more than once. Tension block moves approximately 5”. On occasion, if needed, large size
clamps can be installed by taking several bites (clamp tail feeds out through back of tool).
Position of tension block, containing gripper, can be monitored through viewing holes just under
cut-off handle. Tool features built-in, disengaging mechanism to prevent tension screw from
jamming up. Excessive use of this feature will wear clutch mechanism and/or tension screw out
prematurely.
CAUTION !
The UL4000 tool is designed to work mounted to the DeWalt DC987/DW987/DC925 cordless drill. Use of any other
drills in place of the DeWalt may result in unsatisfactory performance, hazards to the operator and/or the tool, or
unsafe clamps. Use of alternate drills must be approved in writing by the Director of Engineering at BAND-IT-IDEX,
Inc. Disregard of this caution voids the warranty of the tool and releases BAND-IT of any and all liabilities arising
from such misuses.
Use of Alternate Drills
NOTE: These torque settings are suggested settings only, individual tools should be
adjusted for the clamping application.
The tool accompanying this manual was function tested at a clutch setting of __________
and produced a pull-up force of _____________ lbf.
Serial #__________________Tested by:________________ Test date:_______________
*IMPORTANT: Larger sizes of preformed clamps (5" and up) may require a lower setting
to avoid over-stressing the lock and creating potentially unsafe assemblies. Inspect lock per
instructions on page 9-11.
