3. Placing the strapping tool
unto the strap.
Hold the free strap end with your
left hand and press down the lever
with your right hand toward the
tool motor.
Now slide the strapping tool from
right to left onto the piece of strap
up to the stopper which is lying on
the item to be strapped.
4. Inserting the strap
Slowly release the tool lever in
upward direction.
Next place the piece of strap lying
on top in the slot of the winding
shaft up to the stopper.
5. Strap tensioning
Now, the left hand guides the strap.
The right hand holds the tool motor
and depresses the lever at its rear
left end until the desired tension has
been obtained.
In order to obtain a repeatable strap
tension the operating pressure of
the unit may be so adjusted that
the desired strap tension is reached
when the motor comes to its stand-
still.
Caution: The strap may rupture
and cause injuries if the operating
pressure is excessively high for the
strap chosen or if the strap has an
insufficient tensile strength.
6. Releasing the tool
After completing the tensioning first
press the button on the right side of
the motor and then additionally the
control lever on the left side. The
winding shaft is thereby retracted,
and the strap wrapped around it is
released.
Now press down the lever down
towards the motor. Then pull the
tool to the right out of the strap that
has been made.
The strap end remaining on the
winding shaft may be removed
without any tool.
