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.

Instructions
Use only with BAND-IT ¾” Ultra-Lok Free-End and Preformed Clamps
Warning:
Always wear safety glasses when operating this tool. Keep both hands away from clamp being tensioned. Use
common sense, squeezing force of ¾” clamp can reach as high as 2 tons. Never attempt to clamp objects which
can shatter, or otherwise cause bodily harm.
Note:
Read safety instructions and operator’s manual of the METABO electric 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 # M03990) installed in place of standard drill chuck.
Gear selector must be on slow (setting 1),and set as shown on page 4.
Impact drive must be disengaged and set to (drill symbol).
1. Plug drill into standard 115V AC, 60 Hz outlet. If using and extension cord, a 14 gauge cord is suggested for
lengths up to 50 feet, 12 gauge cord required if running longer than 50 feet, 10 gauge cord if running over 100 feet.
2. 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 (M03990) 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.
NOTE: When tightening the adapter clamp screw, safety clutch (M03990) must be engaged with tension screw
inside of BAND-IT tool.
3. This tool was designed for, and can only be used with BAND-IT Ultra-Lok

clamps. Do not attempt to use on any
other type of clamp, it may damage tool. Note: An optional adapter can be purchased to apply ½” Ultra-Lok clamp,
see pages 5,
6, and 8 of this manual

Recommended Drill Settings:
(Speed-Torque)
½” ¾”
Single Wrap C-2 D-
2
Double Wrap D-2 E-4
*Preformed D-2 E-4
Important:
Changing the speed setting will alter tension output. Drill switch must be depressed fully by the operator
to attain correct tension when installing clamps. Tension output may be somewhat different depending on condition
and wear of internal components from tool to tool on same setting.
Pre-set tension is achieved when drill stops and on some models, may pulsate. Excessive pulsation (more than
twice) will result in more tension applied to the clamp.
Use of Alternate Drills
NOTE: These torque settings are suggested settings only, individual tools should be adjusted for the clamping
application.
*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 pages 9-11.

CAUTION!
The UL9010 tool is designed to work mounted securely to the Metabo drill Model SBE 900 IMPULS. Use of any
other drill 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.

Troubleshooting
1. Lock slips down in buckle: Verify tightness of blade mounting screws. If lock on clamp is still not adequate,
reduce tension on tool by setting torque control knob to a lower number or reduce speed of the drill. (See “Setting up
proper tension”)
2. Drill makes loud, rapid clicking noise: Make sure hammer drill setting is off and indicator is pointing to drill
symbol. (Hammer symbol on selector knob pointing to back).
3. Drill makes whining noise when clamp gets tight: The drill is equipped with its own internal safety clutch. If this
clutch disengages usually above torque setting 6, reduce torque setting and lubricate tension screw. Do not confuse
this clutch with the coupling between drill and tool.
4. Safety clutch between drill and tool releases prematurely: Make sure tool is fully seated on drill and safety
clutch is fully engaged with tip of tension screw. (Loosen clamping screw and re-tighten while pressing tool into drill).
See page 4, if problem still remains, replace tension screw (BAND-IT # M00987).
Note: To prevent safety clutch wear, do not over-use. When tensioning clamp, let drill switch go as tension block
nears its end of travel. Reverse drill and send tension block all the way forward for a second pull on the band.
5. If tool does not cut off on initial setting:
Step 1: Pull trigger of tool after engaging cutter blade.
Step 2: Increase torque setting slightly, and repeat tensioning band and engaging of cutter blade.
Step 3: Repeat steps 1 and 2 until band cuts.

Clamp Application
Free-End Clamps
Incorrect position of
tool while tensioning
Warning: Always wear safety glasses when operating tool.
1. Break off an Ultra-Lok

Free-End tie from the roll.
Slide the buckle onto band
with indented arrows
pointing in same direction
and same side up. Slide
buckle all the way onto
band until it comes to a
stop between the two
buckle dimples at opposite
end of tie.
2. Wrap tie around object to be clamped.
Insert the tie through buckle once for
single-wrap or twice for double-wrap.
Double-
wrapped clamps have more
than 3 times the loop-tensile strength.
3. If desired, you may pre-form a
clamp in the same fashion as
step 2, or use a preformed
clamp in place of a Free-End.
4. Position the clamp on the
object you are clamping.
Pull the wrapped clamp
hand-tight. Slightly bend
the tail up to keep the
clamp in place.
5. Actuate drill until tension block is all the
way forward against the tool body. Set
drill to clock-wise rotation. With cut-off
handle down as shown, insert clamp tail
into tool head slot. Actuate drill until drill’s
built-in clutch disengages. If tension block
comes near its end of travel, release
actuator switch and reverse drill to pull
more on clamp tail. Excessive use of
disengaging clutch indicated by a loud
ratcheting sound leads to premature wear
of tension screw.
6. Pull the cut-off handle forward
to cut tail off and form a lock,
then return handle to the down
position. Reverse drill and feed
clamp tail out of tool. Do not
force tool against clamp; it may
result in a folded clamp tail.
Break away clamp tail (if
necessary) by bending it up
and down. Tap down buckle
shroud to complete clamp. Tool
is ready for next clamp.
Push all the
way forward to
a solid stop.
