S75099 Pneumatic
Junior Clamp
Application Tool
Tool Installation
1) Recommended work bench height is 34
” – 40”. This height is suggested as the
optimum range for operator comfort and safety during typical clamp applications.
Locate and securely mount the tool on a solid surface making sure of ample
clearance on both left and right sides for handling hose assemblies of various
lengths.
2) The air tool should be firmly secured as close to the front edge of the work station
as possible using the angled mounting brackets supplied with the tool. This
position will reduce interference of hose assemblies during clamp application.
Mount the tool using 5/16
” diameter fastening hardware (not supplied with tool).
Check hardware for tightness regularly.
3) Hardware may loosen during shipment. Loose fastening hardware will adversely
affect tool operation, specifically the cut off operation. All fasteners securing the
tool cover, pneumatics, head assembly, blade assembly, cut-off handle and
mounting hardware should be checked for tightness regularly and re-tensioned as
needed.
4) Use of the S75099 without properly maintained filtration and lubrication will cause
clamp tensioning problems and void the warranty.
Tool Installation
And Precautions
Clamp Installation: Precautions
Operators should understand that a tighter clamp keeps the fitting more secure, but
excess tension could damage the hose assembly. The fitting stem must have prominent
barbs for proper retention inside the hose, but barbs must not be sharp to prevent cutting
into the hose. Hose, fitting and clamp must be compatible with each other and the
intended working environment. If in doubt, consult the hose or fitting manufacturer or call
BAND-IT.
Clamping objects other than hose require similar precautions.
CAUTION: Improperly tightened clamps may result in dangerous hose assemblies,
which could cause injuries or property damage.
CAUTION: Abuse or use of hose outside the manufacturers recommended conditions
may cause it to quickly deteriorate and become a safety hazard. This could result in
serious injury or property damage. Inspect and test hose assemblies frequently. Repair
or replace at the slightest sign of damage or deterioration.
