The MUL20 is one of few sealless tools in the market to feature reversible strap guides. what the means is, the MUL20 sealless tool, while it comes with 19mm guides can be flipped around so the tool is set for 16mm.
Due to the sealless mechanism, proper alignment of the strap is required so the die punches through the centre of the strapping.
Watch our video below on how the front guide is changed.
Notes from the manual are below.
1.1 ADJUSTING THE MUL-20 FOR STRAP WIDTH The TEKNIKA MUL-20 can be adjusted for strapping with widths of 1/2"(12mm), 5/8"(16mm) or 3/4"(19mm). The tool is equipped with one of two sets of reversible strap guides. With parts number 23, 47, and 50 the tool can be set for use with either 1/2" or 5/8" strapping.
With parts number 60, 62 and 64 the tool can be set for use with 5/8" or 3/4"strapping. Guide sets are stamped “13” for 1/2", “16” for 5/8" and “19” for 3/4".
To change strap width, the three strap guides must be reversed, as follows: a) Remove Screws 39 from the front and rear of the tool. Turn Front and Rear Guides around and replace the screws.
Make sure that the same stamped numbers are exposed on each Guide: “13” for 1/2" strap, “16” for 5/8" strap, and “19” for 3/4" strap. b) Unscrew 53 and remove Cover 52 and the Strap Guide. Remove Pin 51 and insert it into the same hole on the opposite side of the Strap Guide.
Reverse the Strap Guide and replace it in the tool so that the free end of Pin 51 enters the hole in the Arm 54. Put the guide on the Pin 49.
Replace Cover 52 and tighten the Screw 53.
The exposed stamped number on the Strap Guide should match the numbers on the Front and Rear Guides.
NOTE: Check the proper execution of Step 1.1 b) by squeezing together the feedwheel support handle 68 and the sealer handle 66. The strap guide should pivot upward along with the feed wheel assembly
