3. Safety Information
Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the equipment:
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety gloves and eye protection, when handling steel strapping and tools.
- Ensure the work area is clear of obstructions and well-lit.
- Do not use the tools for purposes other than their intended use.
- Inspect the tools and strapping for any damage before each use. Do not use damaged equipment.
- Keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts during operation, especially the cutting blade and tensioning mechanism.
- Store the kit in a dry, secure location away from children and unauthorized personnel.
4. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective and safe strapping:
- Prepare the Strap: Pass one end of the steel strap through a metal buckle (seal) and reserve approximately 5 cm (2 inches) of strap.
- Bend the Strap: Bend the reserved end of the steel strap back over the buckle to secure it initially.
- Position the Strap: Bundle the object to be strapped and insert the free end of the strap into the buckle, ensuring it is taut around the object.
- Tension the Strap:
- Place the banding tool (tensioner) onto the strap.
- Clamp the strap with the banding tool.
- Pull down the handle of the tensioner repeatedly to tighten the strap to the appropriate tension.
- Close the Buckle:
- Once the desired tension is achieved, turn the banding tool to the two corners of the buckle to crimp and close it securely.
- Pull down the blade handle on the tensioner to cut the excess steel strap.
- Final Securement: Use a hammer to further secure the two corners of the buckle, completing the installation.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your strapping kit:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the tools to remove any dust or debris.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a light oil to moving parts of the tensioner to ensure smooth operation.
- Inspection: Regularly check the cutting blade for sharpness and the ratchet mechanism for wear. Replace components if they show significant wear or damage.
- Storage: Store the tools and strapping in a dry environment to prevent rust and corrosion.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during operation, consider the following:
- Strap Slipping: Ensure the strap is correctly threaded through the buckle and the tensioner's ratchet. Verify the buckle type is appropriate for the strap.
- Insufficient Tension: Check if the tensioner's mechanism is clean and lubricated. Ensure the strap is properly seated in the tool.
