1. Read safety instructions and operator’s manual METABO electric drill. Check to make sure drill is properly set up for
use with Band-It Ultra-Lok tool as follows:
-----Drills spindle has adapter clutch (Band-It #M03990) installed in place of standard drill chuck.
-----Speed gear selector must be on slow (turtle setting).
-----Impact drive must be disengaged (twist drill symbol pointing forward).
3. To mount drill on tool: Use the two #10-32 x 3/8” screws supplied with tool to tighten tool adapter body to the tool.
Make sure that tool adapter body’s slit side is facing downward from tool. With adapter clamp on tool
adapter body, insert drill into back of tool through the adapter clamp. Turn drill manually to desired position in relation
to tool. Press the drill firmly into tool. Actuate drill if necessary to engage drill to tension screw. Tighten the 5/16-18 x 1
½” screw while keeping the drill firmly pressed against the tool. To remove drill from tool: loosen the 5/16-18 x 1 ½”
screw and pull drill away from the tool.
3. Plug drill into standard 115V AC, 60 Hz outlet, in the U.S.A. Rated Input = 8 amps (1010 watts).
4. This tool was designed for, and can only be used with, Band-It ¾” wide Ultra-Lok clamps. Do not attempt to use on
any other type of clamp, it may damage tool.
5. Setting up proper tension:
Recommended setting for most assemblies – torque number ‘5’ @ 800 rpm
Usable maximum (for extreme hose types) – torque number ‘7’ @800 rpm
If tension output of tool is too high, set drill to a lower torque number and/or speed.
Important: Changing speed setting will alter tension output. Drill switch must be depressed fully by the operator to
attain correct tension when installing clamps. Use speed control wheel’s inner scale (turtle symbol) to set speed.
Tension output may be somewhat different from tool to tool on same setting, depending on condition and wear of
internal components.
Important: When clamping a hose end, remember that a tighter clamp keeps the fitting more secure, but excess
tension could damage the hose. Fitting stem must have prominent barbs for proper retention inside the hose, but
must not be sharp to prevent cutting into the hose. Hose, fitting, and clamp must be compatible with each other or
fitting manufacturer or call Band-It.
Clamping objects other than hose requires similar precautions.
Caution: Improperly tightened clamps may result in dangerous assemblies, which could cause injuries or property
damage.
Caution: Abuse or use of a 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.
Using correctly sized clamps (diameter) will, in most cases, eliminate the need to pull on clamp tail more than once.
Tension block moves approximately 5”. On occasion, if needed, large size clamps can be installed by taking several
bites (clamp tail feeds out through back of tool). Position of tension block, containing gripper, can be monitored
through viewing holes just under cut-off handle. Tool features built-in, disengaging mechanism to prevent tension
screw from jamming up. Excessive use of this feature will wear clutch mechanism and/or tension screw out
prematurely.
