Control components

- Tensioning button
- Seal/Welding button
- Opening lever
- Control panel
Switching on
Insert the battery as shown in (fig.2). The tool can be switched on by one of the following three actions:
- Push the tensioning button
- Push the seal/welding button
- Raise the opening lever of the tool
Tool control panel description
The control panel is composed of: 7 segment 3 digit display (fig.3 - letter A, B, C), 2 LED (fig.3 – letter E, F) and two control buttons (fig.3 – letter G, H).
The first digit of the display (fig.3 – letter A) indicates the tensioning force on a 1-9 scale. The second digit of the display (fig.3 – letter B) indicates the
seal/welding time on a 1-9 scale (see table below). The third digit (fig.3 – letter C) indicates the residual charge of the battery on a 1-9 scale.
The two LED displays 2 different tool operating modes of functioning. For more information see the section "Operating mode setting".
The two buttons are used to scroll through the menu items, change the operating mode, tensioning force and seal/welding time settings.
Operation mode setting
The tool has two basic operating modes of functioning.
- Manual (fig.3 - 3.1) – It consists in a higher speed tensioning and shorter acceleration times in order to obtain higher tensioning forces.
The Manual tensioning is recommended for rigid packages.
The Manual tensioning is particularly suitable for PET straps.
- Manual Soft (fig.3 - 3.2) – It consists in a lower speed tensioning and longer acceleration times in order to obtain lower tensioning forces.
The Manual Soft tensioning is recommended when the package could be easily damaged and/or where a low tensioning force is requested.
The Manual Soft tensioning is particularly suitable for a low thickness straps and/or PP straps.

Settings
To enter the setting menu press both buttons, "SET" (fig.3 – letter G) and "+/-" (fig.3 - letter H) at the same time.
The current operating mode setting starts to blink. Use the button "+/-"(fig.3 - letter H) to modify the setting of the operating mode scrolling through the 2
possible combinations. To scroll to the tensioning force value setting, press the button "SET" (fig.3 – letter G). The digit of the tensioning force starts to
blink. Use the button "+/-"(fig.3 - letter H) to set the desired value. To scroll to the seal/welding time value setting press the button, "SET" (fig.3 – letter
G). The digit of the seal/welding time setting starts to blink. Use the button "+/-"(fig.3 - letter H) to set the desired value.
To exit the setting menu and save the set values, ii any time, press the tensioning or seal/welding buttons or raise the opening lever.
To exit without saving, keep the control panel inactive for more than 10 seconds.
Strapping cycle
ATTENTION! Don't press the tensioning or seal/welding buttons without strap in the tool.
If the tool works without strap, the feedwheel and the seal/welding plates could be damaged.
The correct usage of the tool is the following:
Prepare the strap. Wrap the strap around the package (fig.4), keeping the end of the strap on the bottom and aligning both straps. Hold the strap in
your left hand.
Strap insertion. With your right hand, open the tool raising the opening lever (fig. 5). With your left hand, insert both straps keeping them well aligned.
Release the opening lever. Check the correct positioning/alignment of the straps before proceeding.
Start of the strapping cycle. Stay to the side to avoid possible lash of the strap due to excessive tensioning force and consequent breaking of the
strap. The strap is tensioned by pressing the tensioning button (fig.6). At the release of the button the strap tensioning stops.
To obtain the set tensioning force, keep the tensing button pressed until the complete recovery of the strap and the consequent stop of the motor.
ATTENTION! An excessive tensioning force could cause the break of the strap. The breaking of the strap could cause a serious injuries.
Seal/Welding of the strap. To start the seal/welding operation press the button see (fig.7).
The seal/welding cycle includes the cutting of the strap.
Opening and extraction of the tool. Wait for seal/weld to be cooled before extracting the tool.
A count down on the display and an acoustic sound signals the end of the cooling time. Prematurely opening of the tool could cause an excessive loss
of tensioning force and break of the seal/weld with consequent serious danger for the operator.
Raise the opening lever and remove the tool from the strapping plane turning the back of the tool to the right (fig. 8).
Seal/Welding quality control The seal/welding control is very important for your safety.
Correct seal/welding
Long seal/welding time
The seal/welding efficiency is pour. Decrease the seal/welding time.
Short seal/welding time
The seal/welding efficiency is pour.

(fig.9-A) the entire area is to be well seal/welded, without excessive leak of mold material on both sides.
(fig.9-B) wrong seal/welding, the mold material leaks, in an excessive way, on both sides of the seal/welding zone.
(fig.9-C) wrong, the seal/welding area is only partly seal/welded.
Increase the seal/welding time.
