METHOD OF OPERATION
The stretch film is held by grippers below the bed of the machine.  Product to be strapped or banded is placed into position.  The foot switch is depressed.  When the required number of selected orbits has been made, the stretch film is automatically cut, and sealed, ready for the next product.  

The number of orbits (2 to 6) may be preselected through a rotary switch mounted on the control panel.  An infinite number of wraps may be obtained by setting the selector switch to infinity and keeping the foot switch depressed.  When the foot switch is released, the last orbit is completed and the stretch film is cut, and sealed.
