Setting the tension force
NOTICE
When tightening the metal tie, be careful not to let the head of the tie slip off or slide out of the tool’s insertion slot.
Please note that if you do not squeeze the trigger firmly enough, the tightening and cutting processes will not be completed properly.
f After the tension has been released, squeeze the trigger hard to cut off the end of the metal tie.
NOTICE
After the metal tie has been cut off, the head of the tie should still be in the tool’s insertion slot.
If the head has slipped out of the slot, the punching process will not have been completed properly.
f When removing the tool, slide it down, away from the head of the metal tie as shown in Figure
G
.
f There should be an imprint in the center of the metal tie head (Figure
G
) if the punching process has been successfully completed.
7 Setting the tension force
The tension force that the application tool uses to tension the ties can be set via the adjustment dial
2
(Figure
B
).
7 .1 Setting the tension force via the adjustment dial
The tension force is selected in N (Newton) using the tension force scale.
Setting (tension force scale) 1 2 3 4
Tension cut off force in
240~360 290~450 370~570 460~660 f Adjust the tension by rotating the adjustment dial
2
(Figure
B
) until the tension indicator
1
(Figure
B
) is aligned with the required tension setting on the tension force scale.
The tension forces specified are only general reference values. Due to the diversity of possible influences during processing and use, we recommend to check the tension cut-off forces with a conventional force meter.
8 Maintenance
The application tool is largely maintenance-free.
