Tool Issues and Troubleshooting Techniques. While we do not recommend opening up strapping tools without prior knowledge, some problems can be easily rectified. Here are some basic strapping tool issues and how you can deal with them.

Strapping Tool Doesn’t Work at All: If you find that the tool doesn’t operate at all, there could be several different reasons. The battery could be drained, defective or not making proper contact in the case. Check to make sure the battery charges properly in the charger and the battery seats properly in the tool. Sometimes, simply removing the battery and reseating it in the case is enough to ensure proper contact points. If you have a spare battery, try it in the tool, sometimes batteries can appear in working order but are actually defective. If your tool still doesn’t work, it could indicate a much more serious problem like a defective motor or circuit board. Call us at 813 242 6995 and we can assist you with the issue.

Tensioning Strength is Inadequate: If a strapping tool does not have adequate tensioning, after adjusting the appropriate settings, it could be because the tensioning wheel is dirty or worn out. Often, an issue like this causes the strap to slip as the tension of the strap increases. Sometimes blowing air into the area is enough to remove the debris. If you have enough expertise, you could clean or replace the grippers as required. Care should be taken not to use any hard objects during this process. Sometimes, tensioning strength can also be due to a faulty microswitch or a circuit board. In these situations, the tool will need to be sent in for servicing.

Strapping Tool Does Not Weld: Many different components within the tool work together for a proper weld. If after adjusting the tool for welding time you still have problems, the tool may need to be serviced. Once again, try blowing the tool out with air. If that does not work some components such as grippers, springs or motors may need to be serviced. This is best left to a qualified service technician.

Tool Does Not Cut: The tool’s inability to cut the strap can mean wastage of time and material. Checking and adjusting the cutter can usually solve this problem. You could also try cleaning it. Might be time to replace the cutter. It might also be a problem with the pressure spring, and it may need to be replaced.
