strap. They depend on following factors:
• Hardness of the package,
the maximum tension force values are achievable with hard packages.
• Elongation and creep properties of the plastic strap,
the maximum tension force values are achievable by using plastic straps with a low elongation.
• Surface quality of the plastic strap,
the maximum tension force values are achievable with waxed and embossed straps.
• Strap width, strap thickness,
the maximum tension force values are achievable with thick and wide straps.

1.9 ORDERING SPARE PARTS

On principle spare part numbers should be taken from the drawings or spare parts lists. Check if the version
number of the tool and the spare parts list are the same.
Type dependent spare parts should be ordered as follows:

Ordering example
Ordering a tensioning wheel:

• Take item numbers of the tensioning wheel from drawing (P33.2229/30)

• Find out the tool type in which the tensioning wheel should be assembled (e.g. 43.0296)
• Find out the item number of the needed tensioning wheel by using the type dependent spare
parts lists (for type 43.0296 it is tensioning wheel P33.2229).

Order as follows if 10 tensioning wheels are needed:

P33.2229 Tensioning wheel 10 pcs.

1.9.1 Ordering manuals

When converting tools make sure that the used manual has still validity.
If tools change their item number because of the conversion (see chart of types) the adequate manual must
be ordered as follows.

1-23
Ordering example:
Tool item number: 43.0296 de German
Version number: 01

1 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.

1.1 Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.

1.2 Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

1.3 Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.

P331 M_HA [Link] 4-3

 f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

1.4 Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

1.5 Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

1.6 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

2 SAFETY RULES FOR STRAPPING TOOLS
2.1 Joints

You are fully responsible to review the joints made by your tool. Become familiar with the seal
control and seal adjustment described in this operation manual.
Misformed joints may not secure the load and could cause serious injury. Never handle or ship any load
with improperly formed joints.

2.2 Dispensing strap

Only dispense strap from a dispenser specifically designed for strap.

Tuck strap end back into dispenser when not in use.

2.3 Strap warnings

Never use strap as a means of pulling or lifting loads. Failure to follow these warnings can result in
severe personal injury.

2.4 Strap breakage hazard

Improper operation of the tool, excessive tensioning, using strap not recommended for this tool or sharp
corners on the load can result in a sudden loss of strap tension or 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.

Note as follows:

If the load corners are sharp, use edge protectors.

6.9 Seal - Control
A regular control of the seal is necessary. The seal can be examined visually.
Make a seal, peel it apart and examine it as follows:

Correct seal
The seal must be completely welded over the whole width of the strap
on a length of ca. 25 mm. Minor quantities of fused plastic may
overflow on sides.

Welding time too short

The plastic strap is not welded over the whole width of the strap. The
seal efficiency is insufficient.
Warning! Straps with insufficient seal strength must be removed from
the package! Adjust the welding time (see 6.2.2).

Welding time too long

If the welding time is too long the straps are overheated. The fused
plastic overflows on both sides of the straps. The seal efficiency is
affected.
Warning! Straps with insufficient seal strength must be removed from
the package! Adjust the welding time (see 6.2.2).

1 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.

1.1 Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.

1.2 Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

1.3 Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.

P331 A_A [Link] 5-3

 f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

1.4 Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

1.5 Battery tool use and care

a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs
may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

1.6 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

6.5 Tensioning and sealing the strap
• Press tension button shortly.

During tensioning the LED lights green.

Tensioning can be interrupted by pressing the

tension button again or by pulling up the handle
lever.
After reaching the adjusted strap tension the sealing
cycle is initiated automatically (LED lights blue).
Welding gripper is lowered,
the welding starts (LED lights green).

The plastic strap is welded and cut off from the rest
of the strap.
After elapsing of the adjusted welding time (see 6.2.2) the cooling time begins (LED lights yellow).

The tool must not be removed from the strap as long as the cooling time is not
finished. Disregard of this regulation is causing insufficient seal efficiencies, which
can cause severe injuries.

6.6 Removing the tool

After the cooling time is elapsed an acoustic signal
happens and the LED lights green again. The sealing
process is finished.

• Pull up the handle lever,

• pull the tool right and off the strapping.

6.7 Seal - Control

A regular control of the seal is necessary. The seal can be examined visually.
Make a seal, peel it apart and examine it as follows:

Correct seal
The seal must be completely welded over the whole width of the strap
on a length of ca. 25 mm. Minor quantities of fused plastic may
overflow on sides.

Welding time too short

The plastic strap is not welded over the whole width of the strap. The
seal efficiency is insufficient.
Warning! Straps with insufficient seal strength must be removed from
the package! Adjust the welding time (see 6.2.2).

Welding time too long

If the welding time is too long the straps are overheated. The fused
plastic overflows on both sides of the straps. The seal efficiency is
affected.
Warning! Straps with insufficient seal strength must be removed from
the package! Adjust the welding time (see 6.2.2).
