4. Setup

4.1 Charging and Installing the Battery

Before first use, fully charge the battery using the provided charger. The battery indicator light will show charging status. A blue light indicates a full charge.
To install the battery, slide it into the battery compartment at the rear of the tool until it clicks securely into place.
To remove the battery, press the release button and slide the battery out.

4.2 Adjusting for Strap Type (PP/PET)

The tool is compatible with both PP and PET straps within the specified width and thickness. For optimal performance with PP straps, it may be necessary to replace the short spring with the longer spring and add the silver gasket under the plate, as indicated in Figure 4.

4.3 Adjusting Tensioning Force and Welding Time

The tool features two adjustment knobs on the side for fine-tuning the tensioning force and welding time:

Tensioning Force: Turn the left knob clockwise to increase tension (up to 2800N) and counter-clockwise to decrease it (down to 600N).
Friction Welding Time: Turn the right knob clockwise to increase welding time (up to 5 seconds) and counter-clockwise to decrease it (down to 2 seconds).

Experiment with settings on scrap material to find the optimal balance for your specific strap type and package requirements.

5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to effectively strap your packages:

Four-step visual guide for operating the strapping tool: 1. Insert battery, 2. Insert packing belt, 3. Tighten the strap, 4. Bond straps.

Figure 7: Step-by-step operation guide.

Insert Battery: Ensure a charged battery is securely installed in the tool. The battery capacity indicator light will show its charge level (blue for full, red for low, red flashing for very low).
Insert Packing Belt: Lift the handle with your right hand. With your left hand, insert the strapping belt into the tool, ensuring the top and bottom straps are stacked parallel. Release the handle to secure the strap.
Tighten the Strap: Press the tensioning button (typically the main lever or trigger). Hold it down firmly. The tool will begin to tension the strap. Release the tensioning button once the desired tension is reached. The LED will display blue during tensioning. Ensure the strapping remains stable and does not twist during this process.
Bonding of Straps: Press the welding button (usually a separate button). Hold this button down firmly for the set welding time (2-5 seconds). The machine will automatically weld the straps together using friction and cut off any excess. It is crucial to hold the welding button down until the sealing process is complete. After welding, release the welding button. Do not squeeze the handle grip that releases the strapping until the flashing light on the tool stops flashing, indicating the weld has cooled and set.
Remove the Tool: Once the welding is complete and the light has stopped flashing, lift the handle and carefully remove the tool from the strapped package.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your strapping tool.

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Poor strap adhesion/weak weld	Insufficient welding time. Not holding welding button firmly/long enough. Releasing handle too soon after welding. Low battery. Incorrect strap material/thickness.	Increase welding time using the adjustment knob. Ensure the welding button is pressed firmly and held for the entire set duration. Wait for the flashing light to stop after welding before releasing the handle. Charge the battery. Verify strap compatibility with specifications.
Tool not cutting excess strapping	Dull or damaged cutter blade. Internal adjustment issue.	Inspect the cutter blade for wear or damage and replace if necessary. If the issue persists after cutter inspection, contact customer support for internal adjustment guidance.
Strap not tensioning properly	Insufficient tensioning force setting. Strap not inserted correctly. Low battery.	Increase tensioning force using the adjustment knob. Re-insert the strap, ensuring it is parallel and seated correctly. Charge the battery.
Battery not charging	Charger or battery fault. Improper connection.	Ensure charger is properly plugged in and connected to the battery. Test with another compatible charger or battery if available. Contact support if issue persists.
