Bandimex Tool

Pull buckle on band, ears pointing towards end of band. Form clamp, holding band on band, then push buckle back over the doubled band, bending the end approx. 1″ under buckle.

For heavy duty jobs double wrap band.

Place band in tool, push down on gripper with thumb, tension clamp by turning handle. Maximum tension is reached when band stops moving through buckle.
When required tension has been applied, roll tool over buckle, at the same time reversing handle carefully approx. half turn to avoid breakage. There is no loss of tension, if handle is not reversed too much.

Pull on cutter lever, band is cut off to correct length.

Hold stub of band with thumb, hammer it flat over bridge of buckle, complete clamp by hammering ears over stub.

Apply with the Bandimex Tool W 001 and Bandimex Adapter V 001 (a) or V 050 (b).
Place Bandimex Tool in vise, put Bandimex Adapter on nose of tool. Slip Preformed Clamp in tool and grip tail end with excenter lever.

Insert hose into clamp and apply tension. To control tensioning, hold thumb on that side of buckle where band enters. When band stops moving through buckle, maximum tension has been applied.

Roll hose over until shear hook engages behind buckle edge, at the same time reversing handle approx. half turn (depending on type and size of hose).
