5.1. Adjusting Tension

Figure 2: Close-up of the Panduit GS4H Cable Tie Tool's tension adjustment area. The label indicates "GS4H TENSION" with settings for "STD" (1-4) and "HVY" (5-8). The dial on the side allows for precise tension selection, with markings to "INCREASE TENSION".

The tool features an adjustable tension setting to accommodate various cable tie sizes and application requirements. The tension settings are typically marked on the tool body:

• Standard (STD): Settings 1-4 for lighter duty applications.
• Heavy (HVY): Settings 5-8 for heavier duty applications.

Per regolare la tensione:

1. Locate the tension adjustment dial or slider on the side of the tool.
2. Rotate the dial or move the slider to the desired tension setting. Start with a lower setting and increase as needed to achieve the required tightness without over-tensioning.

5.2. Applying a Cable Tie

1. Wrap the cable tie around the bundle of cables or object to be secured, and insert the tail of the tie through its head, pulling it hand-tight.
2. Insert the tail of the cable tie into the tool's insertion slot, ensuring it is fully engaged with the gripping mechanism.
3. Squeeze the tool's handle firmly and steadily. The tool will pull the cable tie tight.
4. Continue squeezing until the tool automatically cuts off the excess tail of the cable tie with a clean, flush cut. This indicates that the pre-set tension has been reached.
5. Release the handle and remove the tool from the secured cable tie.
