then pull cutter unit forward while pressing the knob on the top of the unit
(Fig. 1).

To replace blades, remove the two screws inside

(Fig. 2).

Remount the cutter unit by aligning the bottom of the
unit then pushing in the top.

OPERATION (CONT'D)

PRECAUTIONS

• Set the tape properly as described in these instructions. (If the end of the tape
is folded when the tape is set, the tape may jam at the tape outlet.)

• This machine will cut virtually any type of pressure sensitive tape (cloth,
aluminum, filament, etc.). If tape is thicker than .05", test for compatibility.

• Because of tape differences (elasticity, stickiness, etc.), some tapes may not
cut at the set length. If this occurs, adjust the set length accordingly.

• If tape sticks to the blade, remove the cutter unit, clean with alcohol and
apply silicone oil to the blade.

• To reduce jamming, remove tape from machine when not in use.
