Tool
1. For best results and proper functioning of the SM1700 air tool, a filter / lubricator must be
used on the air supply or in line within 30 feet of the air tool. The warranty is voided if a
filter / lubricator is not used.
2. Before using air tool, check to see that the blade and backing plate on the CP head are fully
tensioned. Loose bolts can easily cause breakage of blade and backing plate.
3. Clean gripper occasionally. Particles and dirt on the gripper lever can cause it to slip off the
clamp tail. To remove gripper lever, loosen set screw in the head assembly from underneath
the block and tap out pin.
4. The BAND-IT SM1700 Air Tool, although durable, does need periodic maintenance and
repair. The frequency of significant repairs can be greatly reduced by simply following
regular preventative maintenance such as maintaining tension on fasteners, proper
lubrication and not “free cycling” the tool without tensioning clamps.
