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
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.

Tool
Settings
Important: Changing speed settings will alter tension output. Drill Switch 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 holes just under cut-off handle. The tool features a
built-in disengaging mechanism to prevent tension screw from jamming up. Excessive use of this
feature will wear the Drill Clutch mechanism and/or Tension Screw out prematurely.
CAUTION!
This tool is designed to work mounted to the Bosch 37618-01 or Bosch GSR 18 VE-2LI cordless drill. Use
of any other drills in place of this Bosch drill 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.
Use of Alternate Drills
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.

1. Lock slips down in buckle: Tighten blade mounting screws. If lock on clamp is still not adequate,
reduce tension on tool by setting torque setting on the Drill Dial to a lower number.
2. Drill clutch releases prematurely: Make sure Tool is fully seated on Drill (per page 4). If problem
persists, contact BAND-IT technical support.
Note: To mitigate Drill Clutch wear, do not over-use the Drill Clutch. When tensioning a clamp, let the
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.
3. 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.

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

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

Preformed Clamps
Place clamp in desired position on object to be clamped.
Follow steps 5 and 6 on page 9.
Inspect buckle on completed clamp and tap down buckle shroud as shown below.
When applying clamps on soft, thick-walled hose, tension clamp then wait a full 30 seconds.
Clamps may be re-tensioned by squeezing the Drill Switch on the power unit a second time prior
to forming the lock and cutting the excess clamp tail. This allows hose to “settle” under the band
of the clamp. This hose material attribute is called Cold Flow. Finally, complete clamp by tapping
down the buckle shroud as described above.
Important:
Visually inspect lock formed in band as shown. If lock has slipped under the sheared surface of the
buckle, remove clamp and install a new one at reduced tension by lowering the Drill Clutch torque setting.

Maintenance
1. Approximately every 500 clamps lubricate Tension Screw with
molybdenum disulfide lubricant, or equivalent.
Make sure Tension Block is all the way forward against the Tool Head.
Remove cap from syringe and insert tip of syringe into slot on top of tool body.
Press the tip against the Tension Screw just behind the Tension Block and
squeeze out approximately 1/2" long bead of lubricant. Remove Syringe, and
actuate tool without a clamp a couple of times to spread lubricant evenly on
tension screw.
To order more lubricant, specify BAND-IT #C23199
3. To gain access to bearing components: remove blade Mounting Screws (2
places) and slide Blade free. Paper clip may be used to push bearing
components out of Blade. Wipe lubricant from components. If ball or bearing
tips appears heavily worn, replace with new one. Note: 1/4" ball is made from
hard tungsten carbide material, do not replace with regular ball bearing.
(Smooth indention from ball in the bearing tips is normal).
To re-assemble bearing components: wipe blade cavity clean. Push small
bearing tip into blade cavity. Apply lubricant to ball and push into Blade cavity
and fill remaining space with lubricant. Push load bearing tip firmly into blade
cavity, some lubricant will be squeezed out. Re-attach blade to Tool Head,
making sure that load bearing tip extends into Tension Screw. While turning
Blade Mounting Screws into Blade, push on Blade rear-wards. Tighten
screws to approximately 120 in-lbs.
4. When replacing worn Blade follow instructions above to properly re-
assemble bearing components.
2. Every 500-1000 clamps, depending on torque setting, inspect and
repack front bearing with same lubricant. Turn load bearing tip and small
bearing tip over for a new bearing surface.

tensioning mode (clock-wise). Remove Ultra-Lok

Tool from Drill. Remove the Tool Adapter from the Ultra-Lok

Tool. Remove Blade and load bearing tip from Tensioning Screw (see bearing detail). Remove one side of the
Tool Body or the other, not both. Grasp the smooth barrel on Tension Screw and pull all the way forward until
Tension Block is against the Tool Head. If Tension Screw is stuck, use a punch and tap the center of the screw
from the back end of the tool. Turn Tension Screw out of Tension Block. Lubricate new Tension Screw with
Molybdenum Disulfide lubricant, or equivalent. Install new Tension Screw in reverse order; making sure that back
end of Tension Screw extends well beyond the back end of the Tension Block. Push the assembly all the way
back and extend the round portion of the Tension Screw through holes on the tripper bracket and back guide
plate. Reinstall Tool Body side. Reinstall Blade and tighten the Blade Mounting Screws approximately 120 in-lbs.
Reattach Tool Adapter to Ultra-Lok

Tool. Reattach Tool to Drill and drive Tension Block all the way forward.
Note: Drills needing repair must be forwarded to an authorized ‘Bosch’ repair center in your area. Be sure to

*NOTE: Do not attempt to use 1/2" clamps with 3/4" head. (Shear Plate change-out: 3-5 minutes)
1. Prior to separation from power drill, back off Tension Block assembly 1/2" from head unit. See page 7.
2. Detach Tension Body from the Drill by loosening the single tensioning bolt on the aluminum collar and separating the
two sections.
3. Remove the Blade from head by removing the two Cap Screws (M05787) from the top of the Head. It is not
necessary to remove entire head from tool in order to remove blade. (Figure 1) Remove the 3/4" shear plate from the
blade.
4. Align the 1/2" Shear Plate (M09387) with the Blade (M09787) so that the guide is facing up. Incorrect placement will
not allow bands to be inserted into the Tool. (Figure 1)
Note: To convert Tool back to 3/4", replace 1/2" Shear Plate with 3/4" Shear Plate (M09887) and follow same
instructions. Be sure to retain unused Shear Plate for later use.
5. Attach the Blade and 1/2" Shear Plate onto Head using the two previously removed Cap Screws. These Cap Screws
must be tight to assure proper cut-off of clamp tails.
6. Re-attach Drill to Tension Body making sure the Drill and Tension Body are properly aligned, and tighten the single
Blade Cap Screw located on the Adapter Collar.
7. These tools are not designed to work with traditional band and buckle designs. BAND-IT Ultra-Lok

clamps
must be used.
