The AccuGlide™ STD 2+ 2 Inch Taping Head has
been designed for long, trouble free service. The
taping head will perform best when it receives
routine maintenance and cleaning. Taping head
components that fail or wear excessively should be
promptly repaired or replaced to prevent damage to
other portions of the head or to the product.

maintenance, or servicing the taping heads
−Never attempt to work on the taping head or load tape while the box drive system is running

WARNING
Note – Check the blade position to insure
proper clearance between blade and guard
by slowly pivoting the blade guard back.
3. Bottom the blade slots against the screws. (This
will position the blade at the correct angle.)
Tighten the blade screws to secure the blade.
Blade Guard
The blade guard covers the blade whenever a box is
not being taped. Periodically check to be sure the
blade guard is functioning properly and returning to
cover the blade. Replace any defective parts.
Blade Oiler Pad
The taping heads are equipped with a felt oiler pad
that has been pre-lubricated at the factory to
provide a film of oil on the cutting edge of the blade
to reduce adhesive build-up. Apply SAE #30 non-
detergent oil as needed. Saturate felt oiler pad.
Should tape adhesive build-up occur on blade,
carefully wipe clean with an oily cloth.
