5.2 Adjustments
5.2.1 Preselecting of the strap tension
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 the tensioning.
The tensioning force can be steadily adjusted
(400 - 2000N / 90 - 450 lbs) by means of the right
adjusting knob.
Turning clockwise increases,
adjusting counterclockwise decreases the
tensioning force.
5.2.2 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 left
adjusting knob.
Turning clockwise increases,
turning counterclockwise decreases the welding
time.
5.2.3 Adjusting the welding pressure
In order to assure optimal welding, the pressure of the welding gripper to the straps to be welded must be
within a certain range. Depending on the thickness of the strap, this pressure is adjusted by means of the
adjusting pin.
When adjusting the welding pressure, the lever must be latched into its start position.
Disregarding this regulation will cause considerable trouble.
The range of thickness of the strap must be adjusted according to the strap thickness admitted for the tool
(see chart of types) and the thickness of the strap to be processed.
Adjustment:
The lever is latched and in start position!
Pull out the adjusting pin of the tool,
turn it into the desired position (observe the marking on the housing),
release the adjusting pin (the adjusting pin must latch without assistance).

must be free from oil, grease and other dirt.
Dirty plastic straps can't be welded correct!
5.4 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.
Release the handle lever.
5.5 Tensioning the strap
Press down the switch rocker and then release it
again after the desired strap tension has been
reached.
The tensioning operation can be interrupted and
restarted at any time.
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.

9
5.6 Sealing the straps
While welding the plastic straps, the lever must be pressed forward against the stop
until the LED lights green.
Disregarding this regulation will cause insufficient seal efficiency of the strapping and
can cause severest injuries.
With your left hand, press the lever forward to the
stop and keep the lever pressed.
The plastic strap is welded and cut off from the rest
of the strap.
After expiration of the adjusted welding time (see
5.2.2) the cooling time begins (LED lights yellow).
When the LED lights green, the sealing procedure is
finished.
Turn back the lever until it latches in start position.
5.7 Removing the tool
Pull up the handle lever,
pull the tool right / backwards and off the strapping.
5.8 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. 19 mm. 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 5.2.2).
Welding time 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 5.2.2).
