Procedure to adjust the timing of the clamp tail cut-off:
1) Remove the two cap screws in the Handle Cover with
a 9/64” hex key. Remove cover and lay aside.
2) The Brass Needle Valve used to adjust timing is
highlighted in view to the left.
3) To adjust: Hold the valve in position being careful not
to kink tubing inside tool. Start by gently turning the
Adjusting Valve Screw clockwise until snug. Back out
the Adjusting Screw counterclockwise 1 1/2 turns.
This should be the proper setting, yielding a .9-1.3
second delay.
4) To test and verify proper adjustment: Connect the tool
to the Air Control Module, then turn supply valve on.
Gently kink the coiled air supply tube connected to the
bottom Quick Connect Air Coupling (top photo), then
activate the Tool Trigger. This action causes the tool
to cut off, allowing the timing to be reviewed. Adjusting
the Timing Screw in by ½ turn will slow the tool’s cut-
off action. Adjusting the Timing Screw out by a half
turn increases the speed of the cut-off activation.
Repeat this entire step until timing is set at a .9
– 1.3
second delay. Caution: Setting timing to less than
.4 may result in loose clamps.
The Timing Valve will be affected over time by
contaminants in the air system. Moisture, dirt
particles, oil and solvents can cause blockage or
fluctuations in the tool performance.
Cycle should be .9 – 1.3 seconds.
Cut-off timing set too short will not allow the clamp to
achieve the desired tension before switching to the
cut-off function causing a loose clamp. Clamping on
softer objects requires a longer timing.
Cut-off timing set too long may slow production and
cause operator to twist the tool during application.
This may damage tool.
