1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow these instructions can result in severe personal injury.
Eye injury hazard
Failure to wear safety glasses with side shields can result in
severe eye injury or blindness. Always wear safety glasses with
side shields which conform to ANSI Standard Z87.1.
Operation
Tool must not be used by persons not properly trained in their use.
Before tensioning strap, read and understand the tool operating
instructions. Failure to follow the operating instructions or improper
load positioning could result in strap breakage.
Become familiar with your tool and keep fingers away from areas
that can pinch or cut.
Joints
You are fully responsible to review the joints made by your tool.
Become familiar with the seal control and seal adjustment
described in this operation manual. Misformed joints may not
secure the load and could cause serious injury. Never handle or
ship any load with improperly formed joints.
Dispensing strap
Only dispense strap from a dispenser specifically designed for
strap.
Tuck strap end back into dispenser when not in use.
Protective gloves
When handling strap, always wear protective gloves.
Strap warnings
Never use strap as a means of pulling or lifting loads. Failure to
follow these warnings can result in severe personal injury.
Strap breakage hazard
Improper operation of the tool, excessive tensioning, using strap
not recommended for this tool or sharp corners on the load can
result in a sudden loss of strap tension or in strap breakage during
tensioning, which could result in the following:
• A sudden loss of balance causing you to fall.
• Both tool and strap flying violently towards your face.
Note as follows:
• If the load corners are sharp, use edge protectors.
• Place the strap correctly around a properly positioned
load.
• Positioning yourself in-line with the strap, during
tensioning and sealing, can result in severe personal
injury from flying strap or tool. When tensioning or sealing,
position yourself to one side of the strap and keep all
bystanders away.
• Use the correct strap quality, strap width, strap gauge and
strap tensile strength recommended in this manual for
your tool. Using strap not recommended for this tool can
result in strap breakage during tensioning.
Cutting tensioned strap
When cutting strapping, use the proper strapping cutter and keep
other personnel and yourself at a safe distance from the strap.
Always stand to side of the strap, away from the direction the
loosened strap end will fly. Use only cutters designed for strap and
never hammers, pliers, hacksaws, axes, etc.
Fall hazard
Keep your working area tidy. Untidiness of your working area may
cause a risk of injury. Maintaining improper footing and/or balance
when operating the tool can cause you to fall. Before tensioning
and especially in elevated areas, always establish good balance.
Both feet should be securely placed on a flat, solid surface,
especially when working in elevated areas. Do not use the tool
when you are in an awkward position.
Pay attention to the rules and regulations for preventions of
accident which are valid for the work place.
Tool hazards
A well maintained tool is a safe tool!
Check tool regularly for broken or worn parts. Do not operate a
tool with broken or worn parts.
Never modify any tool. Modification can result in severe bodily
injury.

4 TECHNICAL DATA
4.1 Tool size (without suspension bracket)
Tool: Package:
Length: 350 mm / 13.7" 460 mm / 18.1"
Width: 180 mm / 7.0" 420 mm / 16.5"
Height: 240 mm / 9.4" 220 mm / 8.7"
Weight
Without suspension bracket: 6.5 Kg / 14.3 lbs
With suspension bracket: 7.0 Kg / 15.4 lbs
Package: 1.3 Kg / 2.9 lbs
4.2 Steel strap
Width: 19 mm / 3/4" (see chart of types)
Thickness: 0.63 - 0.90 mm / .025 -.035" (see chart of types)
Quality: The A482 model allows the use of all current steel straps with tensile strengths
ranging from 600 - 1100 N/mm2/ 87 000 - 160 000 psi (see chart of types).
Straps with a low breaking elongation are unsuitable.

5
4.3 Seals
19 X 0.9 X 45 mm / 3/4" X.035 X 1 3/4", push-type with overlapping flanges
4.4 Joint
Joint strength: approx. 75% of the tensile strength of the steel strap
A double-notch (two pairs of cut notches) is made per cycle.
4.5 Sound information
The A-weighted equivalent continuous sound level at the work place of the machine operator is
typical 83 dB (A).
This value was determined according to DIN 45 635 T3 (11.85).
4.6 Vibration information
The weighted effective value of the acceleration typically amounts to less than 2,5m/s2.
This value was determined according to DIN EN 28 662 T1 (01.93).
5INSTALLATION
5.1 Compressed air connection
The compressed air should be connected to the tool preferably by a quick disconnector.
It is very important to clean the compressed air with an air unit consisting of a separator for water and dirt, a
pressure regulator with a manometer and a lubricator (see sketch).
Compressed air
Joining thread: G1/4
Working pressure: 5 bar / 72.5 psi
Max. air pressure: 6 bar / 87 psi.
Air flow of air unit: min. 780 Nl/min / 27.55 cu.ft /min with a maximum pressure drop of 0.5 bar / 7.25 psi.
Air consumption
Tensioning: approx. 3.5 Nl / 0.12 cu.ft uncompressed air per second with the air motor running.
Sealing: approx. 7.7 Nl / 0.27 cu.ft. uncompressed air per cycle.

5.2 Suspension of tool
It is possible to suspend the tool on a spring loaded balancer using the suspension bracket A48.2303.
By swivelling the bracket the tool can be suspended in its three main working positions.
The suspension bracket is attached to the cover plate A48.2135 using the screws N1.1106 and the spring lock
washers N1.6220 supplied with the tool.
6OPERATION
6.1 Feeding the strapping
The strap is fed through the seal, around the
package to be strapped and again through the
seal.
The strap end is then bent.
The operator then tensions the loose hoop
manually making sure that the bent strap end is
adjacent to the object to be strapped.
6.2 Introducing the tool
The upper strap is held with the left hand;
the right hand lifts the air motor and introduces the
tool from the right to the left and from the rear to
the front.
The air motor is then released.
When handling strap, always wear
protective gloves and safety glasses
with side shields which conform to
ANSI Standard Z87.1.

7
6.3 Tensioning the strapping
The tension valve lever is pressed down.
The lever is caught completely and the strap is
tensioned until the air motor stalls.
If the cycle has to be interrupted the catch bolt has
to be pressed to the left.
6.4 Sealing the strapping
The sealing valve lever is pressed down until the
seal is cut and the upper strap sheared;
the tensioning process is interrupted
automatically.
6.5 Releasing the tool
The tool can be released from the strapping
without any further action after completing the
strapping cycle.
By lifting the air motor the strap end is removed
from the tool.
6.6 Tension regulation
The tension is regulated by the continuous
adjustment of the throttle screw.
The air supply is reduced by turning the screw
clockwise.
The throttle screw is located at the rear end of the
air motor.

8 JOINT CONTROL
A regular control of the joint is necessary.
The joint can be checked visually and the person controlling can easily judge the quality of the joint.
Following illustration shows a proper joint:
Sharp edged or misformed joints which do not appear as shown have to be taken away from the load
immediately. The tensile strength of these joints is insufficient and they could cause serious injury.
Having faulty joints proceed as follows:
• Checking the sealing cycle for improper use.(see 6 OPERATION)
• Having faulty joints in spite of proper use inspect the tool for worn or damaged parts. In case of
wearing out or damaging replace tool parts as needed.
9 MAINTENANCE
Depending on the working conditions and the use of the tool the following maintenance has to be made
periodically:
9.1 Air-unit
• Checking the air-pressure daily (never exceed 87 psi / 6.0 bar).
• Checking the oil-level daily.
• The water separator must be emptied before it is full (unless automatic).
• The filter has to be cleaned following the instructions of the manufacturer of the air- unit.
• Check the function and proper adjustment of the lubricator daily (approximately 1-2 drops/min.)
Oil for the air unit
HL or CL ISO-VG 10
9.2 Cleaning
If impact of dirt and dust is considerable and if painted straps are used the feed wheel must be cleaned
regularly. Normally it is sufficient to blow it out by the use of an air gun.
9.3 Lubrication
The worm gear is filled with MOLYKOTE BR 2 PLUS.
Use the same type of grease after repairs.
When being exchanged, all valve parts and other movable parts have to be greased with grease of type
Mobilux EP2 or with any equivalent product.
The diaphragm must always be rubbed with TALCUM before being installed.
