INTRODUCTION
The PPTMT Tool installs Panduit Standard (STD), Light-Heavy
(LH), and Heavy (HVY) cross section stainless steel ties for
medium to high volume stainless steel tie applications. The
tool pneumatically tensions the stainless steel tie to a
tool-controlled tension, and cuts off the tip.
TOOL SPECIFICATIONS
Weight: 52 oz. (1474 gr.)
Dimensions*: 11.6” (294mm) Long X 8.6” (218mm) High
Dimensions in parentheses are metric; all dimensions are
approximate, and for reference only.
GENERAL SAFETY PRACTICES
• Only qualified and trained operators should install, adjust or use the pneumatic tool
• DO NOT modify this pneumatic tool. Modifications can reduce the effectiveness of safety measures and increase the risks
to the operator
• DO NOT discard the safety instructions; give them to the operator
• DO NOT use the pneumatic tool if it has been damaged
• Tools shall be inspected periodically to verify that the ratings and markings required by this part of SO 11148 are legibly
marked on the tool. The employer/user shall contact the manufacturer to obtain replacement marking labels when
necessary
• DO NOT use tool for purposes not intended. Unexpected tool movement or breakage of tool may cause injuries to hand
• Unsuitable postures may not allow counteracting of normal or unexpected movement of the tool
For multiple hazards, read and understand the safety instructions before installing, operating, repairing,
maintaining, changing accessories on, or working near the pneumatic tool.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times by all persons within ten (10) feet of any part of the system.
CAUTION: Be aware of the ejection of cable tie scrap from tool.
DO NOT use tool on live electrical sources.
CAUTION! Pinch Point. Keep hands and fingers clear.
DO NOT use tool in an explosive atmosphere.
Ear protection should be worn when operating the tool.

Projectile Hazards:
• Disconnect the pneumatic tool from the energy source when changing inserted tools or accessories
• Always wear impact-resistant eye protection during operation of the tool. The grade of protection required should be
assessed for each use
• Ensure that the workpiece is securely fixed
• Be aware that working on brittle material can cause harmful splinters
Operating Hazards:
• Use of the tool may expose the operator’s hands to hazards, including impacts, cuts, abrasions and heat; wear
suitable gloves to protect hands
• Operators and maintenance personnel shall be physically able to handle the bulk, weight and power of the tool
• Hold the tool correctly; re ready to counteract normal or sudden movements and have both hands available
• Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing; avoid awkward or off-balanced postures, change posture during
extended tasks; this can help avoid discomfort and fatigue
• Use only lubricants recommended by the manufacturer
• Be aware of the risk of a whipping compressed air hose
Repetitive Motion Hazards:
• When using a pneumatic tool to perform work-related activities, the operator can experience discomfort in the hands, arms
shoulders, neck or other parts of the body
• While using a pneumatic tool, the operator should adopt a comfortable posture while maintaining secure footing and avoid-
ing awkward or off-balance postures. The operator should change posture during extended tasks; this can help avoid
discomfort and fatigue
• f the operator experiences symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling,
numbness, burning sensations or stiffness; these warning signs should not be ignored. The operator should tell the
employer and consult a qualified health professional
Workplace Hazards:
• Slips, trips and falls are major causes of workplace injury. Be aware of slippery surfaces caused by use of the tool and also
of trip hazards caused by the air line or hydraulic hose
• Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. There can be hidden hazards, such as electricity or other utility lines
• Ensure that there are no electrical cables, gas pipes, etc., which can cause a hazard if damaged by use of the tool
Additional Safety Instructions:
• Air under pressure can cause severe injury. Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect tool from
air supply when not in use, before changing accessories or when making repairs
• Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check for damaged or loose hoses and fittings
• DO NOT exceed the maximum air pressure stated on the tool
• Never carry a pneumatic tool by the hose
Periodic Maintenance:
Make sure tool is clean before each use.

OPERATION
1. Reading the selector knob from the bottom of the tool, flip the knob to
select the cross section of stainless steel ties to be installed:
STD: Approx. 0.18” (4,6 mm) wide stainless steel ties
LH Approx. 0.25” (6,4 mm) wide stainless steel ties
HVY: Approx. 0.31” (7,9 mm) wide stainless steel ties
f necessary, further adjust tension per Tension Adjustment
instructions below.
2. Loop stainless steel tie around bundle and insert the tip through the
head. Pull the tie up snug on the bundle by hand.
3. nsert the tail of the stainless steel tie into the tool. With the nose of the
tool flush to the tie head, squeeze the trigger to tighten the tie.
Continue to depress and release trigger until tool cuts off excess tie tip.
DAILY TOOL INSPECTION
1. Visually inspect movable parts and gripper teeth for metal chips and tie scrap. Keep these areas clear of this and all other
foreign matter.
2. Visually inspect applied stainless steel ties for correct tension and cut-off to verify the working condition of the blade and
gripper.
