Threading the Paper and Tape through the
Cutting Blades.
NOTE: The upper tape rolls and upper
paper roll will feed through the upper cutting
blade. The lower paper roll and lower tape rolls
will thread through the lower cutting blade.
1. Pull out the paper from the roll, and pass
it behind the cutting blade, under the
spring, over the cutting edge, and out to
the front of the masking station.
2. Repeat step 1 with each roll of tape. If
you have aligned the tape with the edge
of the paper, attach the tape to the paper,
and pull the paper / tape combination
through the spring and out to the front of
the masking station.
Note that the spring
holds the leading edge of the materials
onto the cutting bar, and also rubs the
tape onto the paper just before cutting.
Installing the paper rolls.
1. Each spring bar assembly is designed to hold a
full roll of paper. Select either spring bar for
installation of a new roll of paper.
2. Remove the wing nuts on both sides of the
spring bar assembly, and place the assembly on
your workbench for installation of the paper.
3. Loosen the screws in one or both of the retainer
sets, and slide them off the spring bar.
4. Slide a paper roll onto the spring bar, abutting
the remaining retainer set. The paper roll should
be positioned so that when the spring bar as-
sembly is reinstalled onto the masking station
the paper will pull off the top of the roll toward
the cutting blades.
5. Slide the retainers back onto the spring bar assembly, and replace the assembly
back onto the masking station.
6. Retighten the screws in the retainers to hold the paper roll firmly in position.
7. If desired, you may align the paper with the edges of the tape rolls. To do so, loosen
the screws in both sets of retainers, and slide them with the paper roll along the
spring bar until the edges of the paper roll is aligned with the center of the tape rolls.
Tighten the screws in the paper retainers to secure this position on the spring bar.
