Ultra-Lok Tool
Clamp Application
Preformed Clamps
Place clamp in desired position on object to be clamped.
Start at Step 4 on Page 9
Inspect buckle on completed clamp and tap down buckle shroud as shown on Page 10 Figures 7 and
8.
NOTE FOR HOSE APPLICATIONS:
When applying clamps on soft, thick-walled hose, tension clamp then wait a full 30 seconds.
Clamps may be re-tensioned by squeezing the Drill Trigger on the power unit a second time prior
to forming the lock and cutting the excess clamp tail. This allows hose to “settle” under the band
of the clamp. This hose material attribute is called Cold Flow. Finally, complete clamp by tapping
down the buckle shroud as described above.
Trouble-Shooting
1. Lock slips down in buckle: Tighten blade mounting screws. If lock on clamp is still not adequate,
reduce tension on tool by setting torque setting on the Drill Dial to a lower number.
2. Drill clutch releases prematurely: Make sure Tool is fully seated on Drill (per page 4). If problem
persists, contact BAND-IT technical support.
3. If tool does not cut off on initial setting:
Step 1: Pull trigger of tool after engaging cutter blade.
Step 2: Increase torque setting slightly, and repeat tensioning band and engaging of cutter blade.
Step 3: Repeat steps 1 and 2 until band cuts.
4. Tool does not fully tension clamp: Check battery charge level, replace if low. If problem persists
check gripper assembly and tension screw for excessive dirt/grime build up.
Note: To mitigate Drill Clutch wear, do not over-use the Drill Clutch. When tensioning a clamp, let the
Drill Switch go as Tension Block nears its end of travel. Reverse drill and send Tension Block all the way
forward for a second pull on the band.
