OPERATION

When properly set up, this masking station will hold up to 2 rolls of masking paper and up to 4 rolls of masking tape. These materials may be arranged so the masking station will dis- pense the paper with the tape pre-applied to the edges of the paper. This paper / tape as- sembly may be pulled out and cut from the masking station for easy and rapid use in mask- ing workpieces for painting or other treatment.

Installing the tape rolls

1.

Select any of the upper or lower pairs of

 

tape roll holders for installation of a new

 

tape roll.

2.

Check to be sure that both wing nuts are

 

tight against the tape roll holder.

3.

Press the tape roll onto the holder.

4.

Check the alignment of the tape with the

 

paper roll.

5.

If you need to adjust the position of the

 

tape roll, you may adjust the wing nuts.

 

First, move the outer wing nuts back out

 

of the way. Then, move the inner wing

 

nuts in or out until the tape is properly

 

aligned with the paper roll. Retighten

 

both wing nuts to fix the tape roll into

 

position.

 

Note: If you are using narrower paper

 

rolls, you may replace the long bolts with
