2.1. Intended use
Proper use of this semi-pneumatic tool includes bundling, collecting and
securing by means of strapping using steel straps. Packed goods such as
section steel, packages of stone, paper, timber, etc. are suitableapplication
examples.
Unintended use!
Strapping material must not be used for the hoisting of loads, this
strapping tool may only be used as intended and specified above.
2.2. Tool description
The TITAN HPE combines modern TITAN No-Seal-Joint technology with the
advantages of power-saving pneumatics.
The HPE is based on thetried and tested HKE manual strapping tool with the
specially patented locking mechanism developed by TITAN. It reduces theforce
required and, compared to conventional tools, prolongs the service life of those
parts which are subjected to mechanical stress.
It has a suspension facility (snap hook) which makes weightlessstrapping
possible.
The TITAN HPE strapping tool satisfies German and European safety
requirements and complies with the provisions of the following EUGuidelines:

HPE
H 224 EU 21/06
Do not exceed air pressure!
Never exceed the max. permissible air pressure of 6.0 bar.
Do not use gas or compressed air cylinders!
Do not connect the tool to a gas or compressed air cylinder.
The use of straps other than those recommended can result in
broken straps during the tightening process and insufficient

5. Putting into service
Connect the HPE strapping tool to the compressed air supply by means of the quick-action
coupling mechanism which is supplied. Maximum air pressure (see technical data).
Important: This tool may only be operated together with a compressed air maintenance unit
consisting of a pressure reducer, water separator and lubricator. It cleans the compressed
air, removes condensation and constantly supplies the motor with the required quantity of oil.
The lubricator is adjusted at the top by means of a screwdriver in such a way that a drop of
oil falls into the sight glass for each strapping. Rotation in a clockwise direction should result
in less oil, and in the opposite direction more. Maximum hose length between the
maintenance unit and the strapping tool: 5 m.
In no case it is allowed to run the tool without oil being in
the lubricator of the maintenance unit, as this would
immediately destroy the compressed air motor. No warranty
in that case.
The compressed air motor may be driven during the entire operation with filtered and
lubricated compressed air. In terms of quantity approximately 3 - 5 drops are required per
1 m3air; this corresponds to 0.12 - 0.2 g/m3. Unalloyed mineral oil should be primarilyused
as a lubricating oil. It should have a low viscosity and befree of resin and acids. A viscosity
of 2 - 4° E at 50° (12-30cSt) has been proven to be suitable (see viscosity table for other
temperature ranges). Permissible motor temperatures are from -30 to +100° C.
However, for ambient temperatures of under +5° C there is a risk of icing. In this case it is
recommended that dry air or corresponding lubricants which are resistant to icing be used
(e.g. "Killfrost Anti-Eis").
Caution! Wear respiratory equipment when antifreeze agents are used.

6.2. Operating the unit
1. Place TITAN steel strap around the
packing unit fromabove.
2. Pull strap end through until it islocated
in the middle of the packing unit below
the upper strap and projects by a hand span.

3. Hold both of the precisely overlapping straps
firmly using your left hand. Using your
right hand takes hold of the lifting lever (c)
and cutting lever (b) and press together.
Push both straps laterally along the housing
wall into the tool as far as possible. A bit of the
lower strap has to project out of the front of the
tool. Release the levers (c) and (b).
4. Using your right hand turn the ring ofthe
turning valve (a) to the left, to the limit.
The motor starts to run and tensions the strap.
After reaching the desired strap tension release
the ring. The turning valve closes automatically,
the motor is stopped. (The strap tension is
maintained by a free-wheeling mechanism.)
5. The right hand takes hold of the compressed
air motor (f), the left hand grasps the cutting
lever (b) and pushes it rapidly forward up to the
stop at the housing. Thus, the TITAN "no-seal-
joint" is formed. At the same time the steelstrap
is cut off directly behind the joint.

HPE
H 224 EU 07/10
6. Bring cutting lever (b) back into its initial
position and take hold of the cut off strap end
with your left hand. Lift the compressed air motor
(f) up to the limit and swing the tool to the
right out of the strapping.
The following picture shows a correctly carved seal.
Check the seals regular:
for even carved cuttings,
for neat cutting edges,
for that the lower run of strap is soaked inthe cuttings,
for correct adjustment of the cutter,
for a sufficient overlap of the lower run ofstrap and
for that the seal is placed in the centre of thestrap.

7. Adjustments
7.1. Cutter adjustment
The cutter has to be adjusted for the respective thickness in the case of varying
strap thickness.
Loosen locking screw (g). Turn stop screw
(set screw with flat point) (h) by means of
a Socket spanner in a clockwise direction
= less cutting depth; counter-clockwise =
greater cutting depth. Fasten locking
screw (g) after adjustment has been
completed.
After adjusting there should not be any, or very few, signs of cutting
on the lower strap.
7.2. Distance between the feed wheel and the gripperplate
The distance between the feed wheel (d)
and the gripper plate (e) is adjusted to 0.2
mm. The adjusting screw (i) is located
behind the plastic cover of the housing.
Unscrew the lock nut (k) using the 10 mm
open-jawed spanner and adjust a 0.2 mm
gap at the adjusting screw (i). Fasten lock
nut after adjustment has been completed
and fix plastic cover.
The feed wheel and the gripper plate may not come into contact
with each other, otherwise both parts will be subject to premature
wear.

7.1. Adjusting strap width
The strap guide (n) located next to the feed wheel is replaced when the strap width is
modified. In order to do so the safety ring has to be removed by means of a
screwdriver and the lifting lever (c) and the cutting lever (b) pressed together. The
strap guide may now be pulled off toward the front and be replaced with the strapguide
for other strap widths. Replace safety ring afterwards.
Strap width 13 mm, order no. 2240001-500
Strap width 16 mm, order no. 2240001-501
Strap width 19 mm, order no. 2240001-502
Since the strap is guided at three points in the tool the rear strap guide (l) and the
adjusting screw (m) also have to be set in such a way that the punching is placed at
the centre of the strap.
In order to do this, loosen the two fastening screws for the rear strap guide and the
lock nut of the adjusting screw. The lock nut is located behind the plastic cover of the
housing. Tighten lock nut and fastening screws after adjustment has been completed.
Adjustment can be made easier by using a setting gauge or two strips of the strap
inserted into the HPE.

8. Maintenance
8.1. Cleaning and maintenance of theunit
Soil and debris hamper the proper functioning of the tool. For this reason, the following
areas should be cleaned once a week (blow off using compressed air if possible):
insertion slot,
cavities between the upper and lower knives,
tensioning wheel,
gripper plate
Lubricate with fine conventional spray oil afterwards.
Tool inspection!
Perform a daily visual inspection of the outside of the unit. The early detection of
damaged parts extends the life of the unit. Replace all damaged parts immediately
with Original TITAN spare parts.
