OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

A Place strapping tightly around the package and hold in place with left hand. Take tool with right hand and pull the feedwheel lever towards the sealing lever. Insert both portions of the strap with left hand into the sealing section. Release the feedwheel lever and make certain strapping is held by strap guide.
B Hold tool firmly with left hand on the sealing lever. With right hand move the tension lever forward and backward until the desired tension is obtained.
C Place right hand firmly on the tension lever for supporting the tool. With left hand push the sealing lever forward until it reaches the stop.
D Move the sealing lever back to its original position. To release the tool, with right hand pull the feedwheel lever towards the sealing lever, pushing the lever to the left away from the sealing section.

MAINTENANCE

Clean the sealing section regularly with compressed air to remove any dust and particles.
Lubricate daily with a thin grade of oil the die (position 16) and punch (position 26).
This will reduce friction and extend tool as well as part life.

ADJUSTMENTS

TO ADJUST SEALING DEPTH
Loosen nut (position 33), adjust hexagon socket set screw (position 46) with a hexagon key, turn counterclockwise to increase sealing depth, or turn clockwise to decrease sealing depth, re-tigthen nut.

TO ADJUST CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE FEEDWHEEL (POSITION 5) AND GRIPPER (POSTION 27)
The clearance between the feedwheel and the gripper should be .012" (.31 mm). If the clearance is more or less than this, it must be adjusted.

To reduce the clearance: loosen nut (position 33A), turn hexagon socket set screw (position 32) counterclockwise with a ball hexagon key, re-tighten nut.
To increase the clearance: loosen nut (position 33A), turn hexagon socket set screw (position 32) clockwise with a ball hexagon key, re-tighten nut.

REPLACEMENT OF PARTS

*Please Note: If you are not familiar with the following replacement procedures, please contact your authorized dealer for a demonstration or for service.

To Replace The Feedwheel (Position 5)

1.	Remove external retaining ring (position 3).
2.	Remove tensioning assembly (consisting of tension lever (position 11) and feedwheel shaft (position 2)).
3.	Install new feedwheel with the "O" marking facing the strap guide (position 4), re-install tensioning assembly observing the key way position during assembly.
4.	Re-position strap guide onto the protruding feedwheel shaft.
5.	Re-install external retaining ring.

To Replace The Gripper (Position 27)

Note: The gripper is held in a non-adjustable position with spring tension pin (position 28).

1.	To remove gripper, use drift pin matching the dimension of the spring tension pin (position 28) and drive the tension pin into the tool base, until the gripper comes loose from it's position.
2.	Lift feedwheel lever (position 7) to access gripper.
3.	Clean cavity area and add one drop of a thin grade of oil in the cavity.
4.	To install new gripper, place the gripper into the cavity of the tool base. Re-install the spring tension pin and drive it into the hole of the tool base, until it is flush with the tool base.

To Replace The Knife (Position 17)

1.	Remove housing cover (position 52), by removing 4 hexagon socket shoulder screws (position 50).
2.	With pliers pull knife from slot on die and knife block (position 13).
3.	Install new knife observing spring tension pin (position 18) aligns with same slot on die and knife block.
4.	Make sure area is clean and well greased.
5.	Re-install housing cover, then re-install hexagon socket shoulder screws with a drop of Loctite* No. 222 on the thread of each screw.

To Replace The Punch (Position 26)

1.	Remove 2 cheese head machine screws (position 24) located on the underside of the tool base.
2.	Remove punch, clean area, replace with new punch, then re-install cheese head machine screws with a drop of Loctite* No. 222 on each screw.

To Replace The Die (Position 16)

1.	Remove housing cover (position 52), by removing 4 hexagon socket shoulder screws (position 50).
2.	Remove sealing lever (position 49), by loosening hexagon socket cap screw (position 48).
3.	Remove woodruff key (position 1).
4.	Remove eccentric shaft (position 55).
5.	Remove the total internal assembly by titling it at a 20 degree angle (see diagram below) and pull out with pliers by eccentric shaft plunger (position 57), at the same time making sure to hold internal assembly together with other hand, exposing die on the underside of the die and knife block (position 13).
6.	Remove 2 cheese head machine screws (position 15).
7.	Remove die, clean area, and replace with new die, then re-install cheese head machine screws with a drop of Loctite* No. 222 on each screw.
8.	To re-install the internal assembly follow above procedures in reverse order.
9.	Re-install the eccentric shaft observing it's relative position to the cam (position 36).
10.	The cam lever (position 54) must engage with it's tip into the cavity of the cam. The components should align together and operate smoothly, please do not force the parts together.
11.	Make sure area is clean and well greased.
12.	Re-install housing cover, then re-install hexagon socket shoulder screws with a drop of Loctite* No. 222 on the thread of each screw.
