Note – Check the blade position to insure 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.

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.
