NOTE: Fully charge battery before first use of tool.

READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY.
1. STRAP BREAKAGE HAZARD
Improper operation of the tool or sharp corners on the load can result 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.
Failure to place the strap properly around the load or an unstable or shifted load could result
in a sudden loss of strap tension during tensioning. This could result in a sudden loss of
balance causing you to fall.
Read the tool's operating instructions. 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.
!Using strap not recommended for this sealer can result in strap breakage during sealing.
Use the correct Signode products for your application.
2. TOOL CARE
Take good care of the tool. Inspect and clean it daily, lubricate it weekly and adjust when
necessary. Replace any worn or broken parts.
3. WORK AREA
Keep work areas uncluttered and well lighted.
4. FALL HAZARD
Maintaining improper footing and/or balance when operating the tool can cause you to fall.
Do not use the tool when you are in an awkward position.
5. STRAPPING
Several types of strap can be used with this tool. Use the correct Signode products for your
application. If you need help contact your Signode Representative.
6. CUTTING TENSIONED STRAP
Use only cutters designed for cutting strap; never use claw hammers, crowbars, chisels, axes
or similar tools. Such tools will cause the strap to fly apart with hazardous force. Before
using any Signode product, read its Operation and Safety Manual.

BATTERY INFORMATION & CHARGING
Plug charger into your standard power outlet.
With no battery pack inserted, the charger's green
indicator light will go ON. This indicates the
charger is receiving power and the charger is ready
for operation.
When you insert the battery pack into the charger.
The charger's green indicator light will begin to
"BLINK". This indicates that the battery is receiving
a fast charge.
When the indicator light stops "BLINKING" (and
becomes a steady green light) fast charging is
complete. The battery pack is fully charged and can
be removed from the charger.
The battery pack may be used even though the
light may still be blinking. The light may require
more time to stop blinking depending on
temperature.
The purpose of the green light is to indicate that
the battery pack is fast-charging. It does not
indicate the exact point of charge. The light will
stop blinking in less time if the battery pack was
not completely charged.
When you begin the charging process of the battery pack, a steady red light could also mean the
battery pack is too hot or too cold.
Fast charging is only possible when the temperature range of the battery pack is between 32F
(0C) and 113F (45C). When needed, the internal fan of the charger will turn on to aid the charging
process and speed.
As soon as the battery pack reaches the correct temperature range, the battery charger will
automatically switch to fast charging.
If the red indicator light is "BLINKING", the battery pack cannot accept a charge.
!Check to make sure the battery pack is inserted to the charger properly.
!Clean the contacts of the charger or battery pack (e. g. by inserting and removing the
battery several times) or replace the battery pack as required.
When the battery pack is fully charged, unplug the charger (unless you're charging another
battery pack) and install the battery pack back into the tool.

INSTALLING A BATTERY
1. Hold the tool firmly with one hand.
2. Using your other hand, insert the battery into the
tool with a sliding motion.
3. Firmly push the battery until fully seated. When
fully seated the battery locks in place.
The Green indicator light will flash for
approximately while the tool energizes. One the
light stops flashing the tool is ready for use.
4. To remove the battery press the Red release
button on the battery and slide out.
NOTE: The power indicator light on the top of the tool will flash Green indicating the battery
has enough charge. If the indicator light flashes Red, charge the battery accordingly.

JOINT FORMATION & INSPECTION
An improperly formed joint, or a joint with an incorrect number of
notches, could result in strap separation. Before moving any package,
be certain that the joint is formed as shown in the illustration. If not,
remove the strap and check the tool for worn or broken parts. Repair
the tool before applying another strap. Failure to follow this procedure
could result in serious injury or death. If you have questions regarding
proper joint formation, contact your Signode Sales Representative.
Before making a double reverse notch seal joint, read the sealing tool’s
Operation, Parts and Safety Manual. A properly formed double reverse
notch joint will appear as shown in the illustration. Always use the correct number of seals
recommended by your Signode Sales Representative.
If the double reverse notch joint does not appear as shown in the illustration, proceed as
follows:
A. Review the tool’s operating instructions to be certain that the tool is being operated
properly before applying another strap.
B. Cut the strap off and apply a new strap and seal.
Tuck strap end back into the dispenser when not in use.
8

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Wear safety glasses and gloves. Stand to one side of the strap when sealing.
Make sure all bystanders are clear before proceeding.
PLEASE NOTE: Do not operate tool without strap, as damage to the tool may occur.
1. Thread the strap from the dispenser
through a Signode 114P or 114OF seal.
Encircle the bundle and rethread the
strap end through the seal.
2. Bend the strap end backwards as shown.
Tension the strap as required. Refer to
the strap tensioner manual for the proper
use of the tool.
3. Position the sealer jaws over one end of
the seal. Press the switch located on the
handle grip. Once completed, move the
sealer jaws to the other end of the seal
and notch the seal a second time.
4. Once the second notch has been made
the seal joint can be inspected and the
strap tensioner can be removed.

TOOL MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
The most common reason for poor tool performance and incorrectly formed straps joints is
improper tool maintenance. The easiest way to determine if a tool is performing correctly is by
inspecting the strap joint. Having a tool maintenance program is a simple task which consists of
three parts. First, a quick daily inspection of the tool for any worn or broken parts. Secondly,
keep each tool on a schedule of service intervals for cleaning and lubrication. Third, when
problems do occur, use the troubleshooting guide to properly determine and fix problems before
they lead to more serious tool conditions. Each of these three tasks have been outlined for this
particular tool, read and understand all information for improving the life and performance of the
tool.
TOOL INSPECTION
Visually inspect the exterior of the tool on a daily basis. Decreased tool life can be prevented by
early detection of broken parts. Replace all broken parts with new parts. Review any part
removal, replacement & adjustment instructions found in this manual.
SERVICE INTERVALS
Tool component wear is affected by the environment, strap/seal quantity and strap gauge which
the tool is subjected to. All critical moving components of the tool should be inspected
periodically. Broken parts can increase sealing effort, leading to additional component wear and
produce lower joint strength.
Inspect the components of the sealing mechanism when:
A. Joint does not appear as shown in this manual or visually it is detected that the joint
is not all formed or formed improperly.
B. Sealing effort seems sluggish or tool is difficult to remove from strap.
C. The number of cycles from one battery charge decreases.
D. When scheduled.
If there is any question that joint formation is not as shown or is suspect, it is important that you
contact your tool representative immediately.
TOOL LUBRICATION
Signode tools use a variety of greases and oils, all of which can be ordered through Signode.
When ordering indicate tool model, part number and name.
THREAD SEALANTS
Signode tools are assembled using a variety of thread sealants, all of which can be ordered
through Signode service using the appropriate description and part number.
