Warranty and Safety Guidelines
WARRANTY
Refer to website for warranty information: http://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
WARNING:
Always wear safety glasses when operating this tool and keep both hands and clothing away from clamp
being tensioned. Squeezing force can reach as high as 2 tons. Never attempt to clamp objects which can
shatter or otherwise cause bodily harm. 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 FOR HOSE APPLICATIONS:
When clamping a hose end, remember that a tighter clamp keeps the fitting more secure, but excess
tension can 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.
Improperly tightened clamps may result in dangerous hose assemblies, which could cause injuries or property
damage.
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.
Clamping objects other than hose requires similar precautions.
Use only with BAND-IT 3/4" and 1/2" Ultra-Lok Free-End and Preformed Clamps
Use of Alternate Drills
CAUTION!
This tool is designed to work solely mounted to the Metabo BS 18 LTX series cordless drill. Use of any other drills in
place of these Metabo BS 18 LTX drills may result in unsatisfactory performance, hazards to the operator and/or the
tool, or unsafe clamps. Disregard of this caution voids the warranty of the tool and releases BAND-IT of any and all
liabilities arising from such misuses.

Setup Instructions
1. Read safety instructions and operator’s manual for the Metabo BS 18 LTX cordless Drill. Check to make sure
drill is properly set up for use with Band-It Ultra-Loktool as follows:
a. Drill spindle has a Clutch Assembly (Band-It # UL4001)
b. See page 6 for recommended Drill speed and torque settings.
2. Charge Drill Battery according to the operator’s manual.
3. To mount the Drill onto the Band-It Ultra-LokTool:
a. First, using the two #10-32 x 3/8" screws (M06187), tighten the Tool Body Adapter (M07697) on the
Tension Tool (UL0001) with 20–30 in-lbs.
b. Place the Adapter Collar (M08288) over the Tool Body Adapter.
c. Orient the Drill Clutch Pin (M07187) horizontally (see page, 5 Figure 2).
d. Carefully place the Tool Body Adapter over the Drill’s collar. If there is any additional resistance, gently
rotate the Tension Tool until the Tension Screw engages with the Drill Clutch (M04298) (see page 5,
Figure 3), and rotate Tension Tool to the desired orientation.
e. Position Tool Body Adapter to butt-up against the shoulder of the drill.
f. Slide the Adapter Collar against this shoulder and fasten to 40–60 in-lbs.
4. This tool was designed for, and can only be used with BAND-IT 1/2" and 3/4" wide Ultra-Lokclamps. Do not
attempt to use on any other type of clamp style. Only use 1/2" wide clamps when the optional 1/2" Shear Plate
(BAND-IT # M09387) has been installed in the head in place of the 3/4" Shear Plate. See page 15 for ½” blade
change procedure.

Band-It recommends hearing protection if this setting is used for an extended time.
NOTE: These torque settings are suggested settings only; individual tools should be adjusted for the
clamping application. Inspect lock per instructions on page 9-11.
Battery Recommendation: In order to maintain consistent tension when installing clamps, Band-It recommends
that the drill be recharged once the indicator on the battery drops to 1 out of 4.
Important: Changing speed and clutch settings will alter tension output. Drill Trigger should be depressed fully
by the operator to attain correct, and consistent, tension when installing clamps. Tension output may vary from
tool to tool, at 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 slot just under cut-off handle. The tool features a built-in disengaging
mechanism to prevent tension screw from jamming up. At the end of the Tension Block travel the safety clutch
will engage and the user will hear a ratcheting sound. Excessive use of this feature will wear the Drill Clutch
mechanism and/or Tension Screw out prematurely.

Clamp Application: Free-End Clamps
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 tie on the
object you are clamping.
Pull the wrapped tie
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 Drill Clutch
indicated by a loud ratcheting sound leads to
premature wear of tension screw.
6. Do not force the tool against the
clamp; it may result in a folded clamp
tail.
7. 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.
8. Tap down buckle shroud to complete
clamp. Tool is ready for next clamp.
