Maintenance
This tool must be washed with a brush and water (or a water hose) after each use. Pay close attention that all joint
compound is flushed from under the cover plate and the tape advance mechanism. Complete the clean-up by lightly
oiling all wear points. Use Ames® Bazooka® Oil or any light machine oil.
Blade Replacement
1. Hold the key ring, pull down and turn key ring 90 degrees. Let the key ring slide into the cutter spring tube.
2. Pull the cutter chain until cutter block and blade are clearly in view.
3. Loosen the cutter block screw and remove the used blade.
4. Insert a new blade. Tighten the screw, making sure the blade does not protrude through the bottom of the cutter
block.
5. Pull the cutter block back into the taper head channel.
6. Pull the key ring down to the end of the spring tube. Turn it 90 degrees and lock it into the original position.
7. Pull down on the control tube to make sure the blade travels freely through the taper head channel.
Cable Replacement
1. Remove all the mud from the Bazooka.
2. Unscrew the butt ring from the bottom of the taper tube. Lightly tap tube butt ring with a screwdriver, if necessary.
3. Remove the cover plate by taking out the top screws and loosening the side and bottom screws. Gently pull the
cover plate up and out to remove it. Close the gate valve and force the piston down with a thin piece of wood or a
flattened piece of corner bead.
4. Loosen the screw on the cable drum and remove the end of the cable from the drum.
5. Remove the cable from the piston by removing the nut from the slotted stud.
6. Clean the slotted stud of any mud, then thread the cable through the nut while holding it, and place the end of the
cable into the slot. Screw the nut onto the slotted stud and tighten, to secure the cable to the piston.
7. Drop the loose end on the cable into the tube followed by the piston. Replace the butt ring and the screws.
8. Make sure the slot in the cable drum is clean and insert the loose end of the cable and tighten the screw.
9. Wind the cable onto the cable drum by turning the drum key clockwise.
10. Replace the cover plate and tighten all screws.
Gooser Needle Replacement
Holding onto the gooser needle assembly, loosen the screw and remove the gooser needle. Slide the entire gooser
assembly to the bottom of the tape guide. Push the new gooser needle through the hole and out the bottom so that the
point of the needle protrudes 1/16 inch through the tape in the slide. Hold the support assembly and tighten the screw.
Insert tape through the tape guide and check for proper advancement of the tape.
