7-OPERATION
7.1 Operating Instructions
Once the dispenser has been properly set up for use, pull the operating handle to the desired length
(indicated on handle scale). Releasing the handle automatically cuts the tape.
Note: The dispenser can be set to accommodate work where a known length will be used.
The dispenser can be set to accommodate work where a known length will be used. A mechanical stop is provided on the side of the dispenser. The mechanical stop can be moved to any desired position by loosening the
knurled nut a half of a turn and sliding the nut up or down within the slot. When placed in the desired position,
re-tighten the knurled nut to set the desired length of tape to be dispensed.
Important: Do NOT remove the knurled nut.
WARNING
• To reduce the risk associated with a mechanical hazard:
− Read, understand, and follow all safety and operating instructions before operating or servicing the
tape dispenser.

8-MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
8.1 Safety Measures (see section 3)
The manually operated Tape Dispenser requires very
little maintenance. It is important to regularly clean the
brush tank and cutter mechanism. Be sure to also
remove any debris from the tape path.
Important! Before attempting repairs, loosen the foot
channels (See Section 6). Loosening foot
channels allow the chassis to "relax" while
facilitating ease of repairs. Failure to
loosen foot channels may result in diffi culties
making repairs and reassembling the dispenser.
8.4 Inspections to be Performed Before and
After Every Maintenance Operation
During the maintenance operation only the operator
responsible for this duty must work on the dispenser.
At the end of every maintenance operation check the
dispenser functions (See Section 8.3).
WARNING
• To reduce the risk associated with
a mechanical hazard:
− Read, understand, and follow all safety and
operating instructions before operating or
servicing the Tape Dispenser.
− Allow only properly trained and qualifi ed
personnel to operate and service this
equipment.
