2. STRAP THICKNESS ADJUSTMENT
The MUL-16 can be used with regular duty strapping from .015”
to .023” thick; and high tensile strapping with thickness up to
.020”. The tool can be easily adjusted for strap thickness by
loosening Allen Bolt #60 and rotating the Adjustment Plate #35
on the side of the tool. Rotating the adjustment plate will change
the depth of the cutter. The Adjustment Plate serves as a wrench
to turn a hex-end shaft running through the tool. The opposite
end of the shaft is round and has a line scribed on it, as shown
below. When the line points straight up, the cutter is at its
shallowest position; when the line points straight down the cutter
is deepest. The usual setting is about half way between these
extremes.
If the adjustment plate is at the end of its travel, remove screw
#60 and reposition plate #35 so that it is within the desired
adjustment range. Replace screw #60 and repeat the above
steps until the desired cutting depth is reached.
NOTE: The tool is set up properly if, after interlocking the
strap, the upper strap is cut off cleanly and there is a slight
mark on the lower strap.
3. FEEDWHEEL CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
The MUL-16 is adjusted from the factory so that there is approximately .010" clearance between the Feedwheel and the Clutch Plug
(Bottom Gripper). Setting them close together insures that there is enough pressure to enable the Feedwheel and Gripper to bite into the
strapping and operate without slipping.
At the same time, by maintaining a small clearance between the Feedwheel and the Gripper, the two parts are prevented from grinding
against each other if the tool is ratcheted without having strapping under the Feedwheel. This maximizes the life of the two parts.
Should it become necessary to adjust the clearance between the Feedwheel (#26) and Bottom Gripper (#25), it is done easily, as follows:
1. Loosen Nut #66 to the right of the rear strap guide. This frees Adjusting Screw #42.
2. Turn the tool up its nose, with the bottom of the tool facing you, and squeeze the Feedwheel Support Handle (#3). This will lift the
Feedwheel Support off the Adjusting Screw (#42).
3. Turn the Adjusting Screw (#42) in the proper direction to increase or decrease the gap between the Feedwheel and the Bottom
Gripper. When the gap is properly adjusted, re-tighten the lock nut (#66) to keep the adjusting screw from moving while the tool is being
operated.
NOTE: The gap is set properly when a single piece of strapping is gripped tightly between the Feedwheel and the Bottom
Gripper, but a piece of paper slides easily between them.

MUL-16 ADJUSTMENTS
1. STRAP WIDTH ADJUSTMENT
The Teknika MUL-16 can be adjusted for strapping with widths of
1/2", 5/8" or 3/4". The tool is equipped with one of two sets of
reversible strap guides. With parts number 44, 47, and 48 the tool
can be set for use with either 1/2" or 5/8" strapping. With parts
number 50, 53 and 54 the tool can be set for use with 5/8" or
3/4"strapping. Guide sets are stamped “13” for 1/2", “16” for 5/8"
and “19” for 3/4".
To change strap width, the three strap guides must be reversed
as follows:
1. Remove screws #62 from the front and #59 from the rear of the
tool. Turn the front and rear guides around and replace the
screws. Make sure that the same stamped numbers are exposed
on each guide: “13” for 1/2" strap, “16” for 5/8" strap, “19” for 3/4"
strap.
2. Unscrew #10 and remove the side guide. IMPORTANT:
Screw #10 is now being held in place by a small set screw #56
which must be loosened before the #10 screw can be removed.
Turn the tool on its nose and you will see a hole in the base
directly under the #10 screw. Loosen this set screw (#56) by using
a 2mm allen key and then remove the #10 screw. Remove pin #9
and insert it into the same hole on the opposite side of the guide.
Reverse the strap guide and replace it in the tool so that the free
end of pin #9enters the hole in arm #11. Replace screw #10 and
tighten set screw #56. The exposed stamped number on the side
guide should match the numbers on the front and rear guides.
If the adjustment plate is at the end of its travel, remove screw
#60 and reposition plate #35 so that it is within the desired
adjustment range. Replace screw #60 and repeat the above
steps until the desired cutting depth is reached.
NOTE: Check the proper execution of Step 2 by squeezing
together the lifter handle (#3) and the sealer handle (#2). The
strap guide should pivot upward along with the feed wheel
assembly.
