5. Información de seguridade

Always observe the following safety precautions to reduce the risk of injury or damage to the machine:

• Lea e comprenda todas as instrucións antes de utilizar a máquina.
• Usar o equipo de protección individual (EPI) axeitado, incluíndo lentes e luvas de seguridade.
• Asegúrate de que a área de traballo estea limpa, ben iluminada e libre de obstáculos.
• Non opere a máquina en damp ou condicións húmidas.
• Manteña as mans e a roupa solta lonxe das pezas móbiles.
• Only use the specified PP/PET strapping material within the recommended width and thickness ranges.
• Do not attempt to strap objects that are unstable or exceed the machine's capabilities.
• Disconnect the battery before performing any maintenance, adjustments, or when the machine is not in use.
• Use only the charger and batteries supplied or approved by U.S. Solid.
• Store the machine and batteries in a dry, secure location, away from extreme temperatures.

6. Configuración

6.1. Carga da batería

Before first use, fully charge both batteries. The charging process takes approximately 90 minutes per battery.

1. Conecta o cargador a unha toma de corrente estándar.
2. Insert a battery into the charger. The indicator light on the charger will show the charging status (e.g., red for charging, green for fully charged).
3. Once fully charged, remove the battery and store it safely. Repeat for the second battery.

6.2. Instalación da batería

1. Asegúrese de que a máquina estea apagada.
2. Align the fully charged battery with the battery compartment at the rear of the machine.
3. Deslice a batería no compartimento ata que encaixe firmemente no seu lugar.

6.3. Loading the Strap

Proper strap loading is crucial for effective operation.

1. Ensure the machine is off and the battery is securely installed.
2. Open the strap guide lever (if present, typically a small lever near the strap entry point).
3. Feed the strap into the machine from the front, ensuring it passes through the tensioning mechanism and under the welding plate.
4. Close the strap guide lever to secure the strap in place.
5. Pull a sufficient length of strap through the machine to wrap around your package.

7. Funcionamento

7.1. Adjusting Tensioning Force and Welding Time

The machine allows for manual adjustment of both tightening force and welding time to suit different strap types and application requirements.

• Forza de apriete: Use the adjustment dial labeled "Tightening Force" (refer to Figure 3.2) to set the desired tension. Rotate clockwise for increased tension, counter-clockwise for decreased tension. The range is 600N to 2800N.
• Tempo de soldadura: Use the adjustment dial labeled "Welding Time" (refer to Figure 3.2) to set the duration of the heat weld. Adjust based on strap material and thickness. Longer times for thicker straps, shorter for thinner.

Nota: Always test settings on a scrap piece of strap before applying to critical packages to ensure optimal weld strength and tension.

7.2. Strapping a Package

1. Colocar a correa: Wrap the strap around the package, ensuring it is flat and properly aligned. Overlap the two ends of the strap.
2. Insert Strap Ends: Insert the bottom strap end into the machine's lower strap guide. Then, insert the top strap end into the machine's upper strap guide, overlapping the lower strap. Ensure both straps are seated correctly.
3. Tensado: Manteña premido o Tensioning Button (refer to Figure 3.1). The machine will begin to pull the strap tight. Release the button once the desired tension is achieved. The LED indicator light may provide feedback during this process.
4. Soldadura: After tensioning, press and hold the Welding Button (refer to Figure 3.1). The machine will perform a heat weld to join the strap ends and then cut the excess strap. Hold the button for the set welding time.
5. Lanzamento: Once the welding and cutting process is complete, release the welding button. Carefully remove the machine from the strapped package.

8. Mantemento

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your strapping machine.

• Limpeza: Regularly clean the strap guides, welding plate, and cutter blade to remove any strap residue or debris. Use a brush or compressed air. Ensure the battery is removed before cleaning.
• Pezas de desgaste: Inspect the welding base and cutter blade for wear. These parts are made from durable titanium alloy but may require replacement over time depending on usage. Refer to the included tools for replacement.
• Coidado da batería: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Avoid fully discharging batteries for extended periods. Charge them periodically if not in use.
• Almacenamento: When not in use, store the machine in its original packaging or a protective case in a dry environment.
