IT0750-AB
Mini Tie-Lok Tool
Clamp Installation:
When installing a clamp, a random visual check to verify the presence of a locking
dimple after the clamp has been applied is recommended. The dimple is the locking
element of an installed band. The IT0750 forms a dimple into the band in the buckle
area with the knife. By controlling and monitoring the items that are needed to form
a good lock, an operator can help insure that the clamp will be applied correctly
without having to inspect every assembly.
These items are:
• Adequate air pressure and volume (see page 4, 6)
• Setting the tool air pressure (see page 4, 6)
• Following recommended PM Schedule (see page 21)
• Fixture mounting the tool properly (see page 10-13 )
For best performance and to extend tool life:
• Follow preventative maintenance and parts replacement instructions
(page 21) at appropriate service intervals.
• Do not remove factory applied lubrication from inside tool unless performing a
thorough maintenance procedure and then replacing with fresh Lubricant
immediately.
• Do not use degreaser in the tool body.
• Do not spray any lubricant or cleaner into the Quick Connect Air Couplings.
• Use nominal recommended tension setting (listed on page 4, 6). Higher pressure
may not result in a tighter clamp, but increases the likelihood of clamp tail jamming
and premature worn parts.
• Do not over-tighten Knife Pin access screws. Over tightening of these screws may
result in stripping screw threads.
• For maintenance beyond what is described in this manual, consult BAND-IT.
