Operating
Instructions
1. Band may be used from bulk roll as
this completely eliminates waste of
band. Slide buckle on band as shown,
bringing end of band around object to
be clamped and again through buckle.
2. Continue band around object once
more and again through buckle.
Double banding develops a great deal
more radial compression than single
banding. 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 with tool
handle. When you feel BAND-IT Band
stop moving through buckle as you are
turning handle, maximum pressure is
being exerted by the BAND-IT Band
around object being clamped. 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 entire course of roll-
over may result in breaking of band.
There is no loss of tension as band
released is used up in the bend.
6. Pull cutting handle 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 with thumb.
8. Hammer
down buckle
ears to complete
BAND-IT clamp.
