Kemex Strapping

1. EYE INJURY HAZARD.
Failure to wear safety glasses with side shields can
result in severe eye injury or blindness. Always wear
safety glasses with side shields which conform to ANSI
Standard Z87.1.

2. STRAP BREAKAGE HAZARD.
Improper operation of the tool or sharp corners on the
load can result in strap breakage during tensioning,
which could result in the following:
. A sudden loss of balance causing you to fall.
. Both tool and strap flying violently towards
your face.
Failure to place the strap properly around the load or on
an unstable or shifted load could result in a sudden loss
of strap tension during tensioning. This could result in
a sudden loss of balance causing you to fall.
Read the tools operating instructions. If the load
corners are sharp use edge protectors. Place the strap
correctly around a properly positioned load.
Positioning yourself in-line with the strap, during
tensioning and sealing, can result in severe personal
injury from flying strap or tool. When tensioning or
sealing, position yourself to one side of the strap and
keep all bystanders away.

3. FALL HAZARD.
Maintaining improper footing and/or balance when
operating the tool can cause you to fall. Do not use the
tool when you are in an awkward position.

4. CUT HAZARD.
Handling strap or sharp parts could result in cut hands
or fingers. Wear protective gloves.

5. TRAINING.
This tool must not be used by persons not properly
trained in their use. Be certain that you receive proper
training from your employer. If you have any questions
contact your Kemex Representative.

6. TOOL CARE.
Take good care of the tool. Inspect and clean it daily,
lubricate it weekly and adjust when necessary. Replace
any worn or broken parts.

7. WORK AREA.
Keep work areas uncluttered and well lighted.

1. Fully open the sealer handles and center the
open jaws on the seal.

2. Bring the sealer handles together completely
together to assure a proper notch.

3. Remove the sealer and bend the loose strap
sharply back on the seal. Several additional
bends will result in a clean strap break-off.

NOTE: If the gauge of the strap being used will not allow it to be bent, cut the strap supply as close to the seal as possible using an approved strap cutter.

4. To avoid contact with the sharp end of the strap, retract the strap end back into the strap
dispenser.
