3. OPERATION DESCRIPTION
3.1 Installation
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
The batteries supplied are partially charged.
Before first use, the battery must be completely charged.
Never charge a damaged battery. Replace with a new one immediately.
Do not open batteries and store them in dry and frost-proof rooms.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short circuit t risk).
The maximum ambient temperature is 50°C.
Keep dry at all times.
Inserting the Battery
Insert the battery from top to bottom into
the tool until both unlatching push buttons
are engaged.
When inserting the battery the LED
indication shortly lights green.
Removing the Empty Battery
If the red LED starts lighting while a tensioning or welding procedure, the capacity
of the battery is exhausted. All electric functions of the tool are blocked.
The seal efficiency is insufficient.
Warning! Straps with insufficient seal strength must be removed from the package.
The battery must be recharged.
Push the unlatching buttons at both sides of the battery.
Push the battery out of the tool in the opposite direction of insertion.
When removing the battery the LED lights shortly red.

3.2 Adjustments
3.2.1 Preselecting of Strap Tension and Tensioning Speed
Do not adjust the tensioning force too high.
If the tensioning force is higher than the tensioning strength of the strap, the strap
will tear while tensioning.
Tensioning force and tensioning speed
can be preselected with the right adjusting
knob.
Turning clockwise increases, turning
counter clockwise decreases the
tensioning force and the tensioning speed
respectively.
The tensioning force on the minimum
setting is 650N and it is increased on the
maximum setting to 3000N.
The tensioning speed on the minimum
setting is 160mm/s, it is increasing linear
up to 230mm/s on the maximum setting.
3.2.2 Adjusting the Welding Time
Depending on the size and quality of the strap,
different welding times are required.
The welding time can be adjusted at the lower
adjusting knob.
Turning clockwise increases, turning counter
clockwise decreases the welding time.
3.3 Feeding the Strap Around the Package
The strapping is fed around the package as
illustrated.
Warning! The plastic strap which will be welded
must be free from oil, grease and other dirt.
Dirty plastic straps can’t be welded correct.

3.4 Inserting the Strap
Pull up the handle lever firmly with your
right hand.
Insert the two straps well aligned on each
other into the strap guide using your left
hand. The lower strap end must slightly
protrude the end of the base plate.
Release the handle lever.
After welding of the strapping it is neither permitted to tension again nor to weld
again. After welding and cooling the tool has to be removed from the strapping
before a new strapping cycle is started. Disregard of this instruction can cause
severe malfunction and damage to the tool.
3.5 Tensioning the Strap
Press down the tension button and then
release it again after the desired strap
tension has been reached.
The tensioning operation can be interrupted
and restarted at any time.
During tensioning the LED lights green.
Do not press the switch rocker after
reaching the preselected tensioning.
Danger of strap breakage.
The tool must carry out a balance movement while
tensioning.
Therefore:
- Don’t hinder the tools movement in the signed direction.
Disregard:
- The feed wheel slips on the strap without tensioning it.
3.6 Sealing of the Joint
Press the sealing lever down and let it go
immediately.
The plastic strap is welded and cut off from the
rest of the strap. During the welding the LED
lights green.
After elapsing of the adjusted welding time (see
3.2.2) the cooling time begins (LED lights
yellow). During that time the tool must not be
removed from the strap. If the LED lights green again,
the sealing cycle is finished.
The tool must not be removed from the strap as long as the cooling time is not
finished. Disregard of this regulation is causing insufficient seal efficiencies,
which can cause severe injuries.

3.7 Removing the Tool
Pull up the handle lever,
Pull the tool right/backwards and off the
strapping.
3.8 Seal - Control
A regular control of the seal is necessary. The seal can be examined visually. Make
a seal, peel it apart and examine it as follows:
Correct Seal
The seal must be completely welded over the
whole width of the strap on a length of ca. 25mm.
Minor quantities of fused plastic may overflow on
sides.
Welding Time Too Short
The plastic strap is not welded over the whole
width of the strap. The seal efficiency is
insufficient.
Warning! Straps with insufficient seal strength
must be removed from the package. Adjust the
welding time (see 3.2.2).
Welding Time is Too Long
If the welding time is too long the straps are
overheated. The fused plastic overflows on both
sides of the straps. The seal efficiency is affected.
Warning! Straps with insufficient seal strength
must be removed from the package. Adjust the
welding time (see 3.2.2).
3.9 Cleaning
Clean strap gripping parts from strap abrasion regularly using compressed air.
Do not use any mechanical tool for cleaning.
When cleaning the surface of the tool do not use water or aggressive solvents.
