you may need to move away from intense light caused by direct sunlight
or high intensity light fixtures.
Adjusting Knob
Pressure Adjusting Knob
The adjusting knob is a feature that allows you to tighten or loosen the force applied
to the tape as it is dispensed. You will need to find the best setting by experimenting
with setting which will be determined by the thickness of your tape.
Jam Detection Feature
This feature will shut the machine down and make it inoperable when a jam is
detected. The length indicator will flash on and off and the key pad will not function
(see figure below). When this occurs, simply turn the machine to the off position and
clear the jam. You may need to remove the blade cutting mechanism to clear the
jam. Once the jam has been cleared from the unit, reefed the tape and turn the unit
on. Proceed to dispensing tape.
Recommended Maintenance
This is a very simple machine to maintain. Periodically, cleaning the blade of excess
adhesive that can build-up on the blade over a period of time, will be required. On a
regular basis, the cutting mechanism should be removed from the unit and cleaned.
Use a small brush and suitable solvent to remove accumulation of adhesive. Do not
scrap the cutting edge with a hard object because the blade may become dull and
need to be replaced. Apply a drop of oil on each side of the top and bottom blades.
Spread the oil along the surface where adhesive builds up using the nozzle tip of the
bottle or a small brush (Warning: the blade edges are sharp, do not use fingers).
Oiling will prolong the periods between cleanings and the life of the blades.
