3/8” Tie-Lok ® Tool
Part of insuring that the tool is producing a strong lock is making sure that it approaches
the application correctly and is fixtured to allow repeatability of application. The tool
should approach the surface of the wheel tangent to the point on the wheel where the
buckle of the band is to be applied. The tool should be allowed to float 1/8” – 1/4”
above the surface of the wheel to allow the buckle to move to the proper position for
cut-off. Once the tool begins tensioning, the band will pull the tool down to the surface
of the wheel.

Instructions
As the band is tensioning, the tool may rotate clockwise up to 5 degrees about the pivot
point (Green Arrow). During the cut-off cycle, the tool must be allowed to rotate counter-
clockwise up to 35 degrees (Blue Arrow). Because of this movement, BAND-IT
recommends that the tool be mounted in a fixture that will provide adequate
rotation during both cycles.
