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

STRAP SPECIFICATIONS
Width: 3/4" - 1 1/4" Steel
Gauge: .020"- .035" Thick

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Encircle the bundle with the strap threaded
through a pusher seal as shown. Be sure the end
of the lower strap is bent back beneath the seal.

2. Squeeze the two handles as shown. This will
open the gripper to allow the upper strap to be
inserted through the slotted nose and under the gripper. Pull strap with your left hand to remove
slack.

3. While standing to one side of the strap line, apply final tension to the strap.If insufficient tension is attained on the first full travel of
the rack, hold the strap with your left hand and
slide the gripper housing forward for a new "bite".

4. Fully notch the seal. If using a single notch
sealer, be sure to complete the sealing operation
twice on seals requiring two sets of equally
spaced notches.

5. Break the strap off over the end of the seal with the nose of the stretcher. Repeat the bending motion if necessary. Do not release tension before breakoff and do not tip the stretcher beyond a straight up and down position.
