The AccuGlide™ STD 2+ 2 Inch Taping Head has
been designed for long, trouble-free service. The
taping head performs 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.

•To reduce the risk associated with shear, pinch, and entanglement hazards:
−Turn air and electrical supplies off on associated equipment before performing any adjustments,
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
3. Slide the blade slots fully against the screws to
position the blade at the correct angle. Tighten
the blade screws to secure the blade.
4. Check the blade position to ensure proper
clearance between blade and guard by slowly
pivoting the blade guard back.
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 buildup. Apply SAE #30 non-detergent oil
as needed. Saturate felt oiler pad.
Should tape adhesive buildup occur on blade,
carefully wipe clean with an oily cloth.
