Clamp Application
Free-End Clamps

Push all
the way
forward
to a solid
stop

1. Break off an Ultra-Lok Free-End

tie from the roll. Slide the buckle
onto band with indented arrows
pointing in same direction and
same side up. Slide buckle all
the way onto band until it comes
to a stop between the two buckle
dimples at opposite end of tie.

2. Wrap tie around object to be clamped.

Insert the tie through buckle once for
single-wrap or twice for double-wrap.
Double-wrapped clamps have more
than 3 times the loop-tensile strength.

3. If desired, you may pre-

form a clamp in the same
fashion as step 2, or use a
preformed clamp in place
of a Free-End

4. Position the tie on the

object you are clamping.
Pull the wrapped tie
hand-tight. Slightly bend
the tail up to keep the
clamp in place

5. Actuate Drill until Tension Block is all the

way forward against the tool body. Set Drill
to clock-wise rotation. With cut-off handle
down as shown, insert clamp tail into tool
head slot.

Actuate Drill until Drill‟s built-in

clutch disengages. If Tension Block comes
near its end of travel, release actuator switch
and reverse Drill to pull more on clamp tail.
Excessive use of disengaging Drill Clutch
indicated by a loud ratcheting sound leads to
premature wear of tension screw.

6. Do not force the tool against the

clamp; it may result in a folded clamp
tail.

7. Pull the cut-off handle forward to cut

tail off and form a lock, then return
handle to the down position. Reverse
drill and feed clamp tail out of tool.

8. Tap down buckle shroud to complete

clamp. Tool is ready for next clamp.
