CRANK HANDLE
If desired, the crank handle can be reversed.
PRESSURE PLATE WEIGHTS
The pressure plate, which rests on top of the brushes,
has removable weights. (See Figure 11) The number of
weights can be varied to suit the tape being dispensed.
Heavyweight tapes require more weight inserts than lighter
tapes. The suggested number of weights is as follows:
MAINTENANCE
The best way to ensure long and carefree service
from your Better Pack 333 Plus is to KEEP IT CLEAN.
Tape dust, adhesive accumulation and other foreign
matters are harmful as they get into the working parts
of the machine. Likewise, be sure to wash the brushes
thoroughly at least once a week to ensure perfect
moistening, being careful to replace them with the
lower bevel to the back of the machine.
TO CLEAN BLADE
Where reinforced tapes are used, it may be necessary
to periodically clean accumulation of laminate from the
cutting blade.
To clean the blade, follow these simple steps:
a. Remove water bottle and water tank assemblies.
b. Depress rocker stop rod protruding from the right
side of the machine with right hand and keep
it in this position until the blade assembly has
been released. (See Figure 12)

The weights can be added or removed by pushing
them in or out from each side.
NOTE: If the machine consistently jams, there
is too much weight on the pressure plate and
some should be removed.
c. Reach inside the machine where tank was
removed, pull blade assembly down and swing
out to cleaning position. (See Figure 13)
d. To clean blade: wipe off with suitable solvent.
When adhesive is removed, wipe with lightly
oiled cloth.
NOTE: DO NOT SCRAPE WITH HARD OBJECTS
as resulting scratches will quickly
accumulate adhesive.
e. Reinsert the blade to the cutting position by
depressing the rocker stop rod. Tip the blade
up into cutting position and push upward so the
blade will come between the stationary blade
rollers. Release rocker stop rod.
f. Try feeding and cutting tape to check if parts
are in proper position.
g. Install tank and water bottle.
