Operating Instructions for the TAKE-A-LABEL Model TAL-450-18
Note: e TAKE-A-LABEL dispenser is shipped
mounted to a base to prevent shiing in the container.
1. Remove the machine from the base.
**Always load the TAKE-A-LABEL dispenser with
the On-O Switch in the (OFF) position.**
2. To load a roll of labels on the TAKE-A-LABEL,
loosen the unwind hub screw (57) on the unwind
collar (56) and remove the collar, unwind washer,
unwind spring, and disc from the unwind sha.
3. Place the roll of labels on the unwind sha between
the two unwind discs. Place the roll with the beginning of the roll on the bottom with the web dispensing to your right as you face the side of the machine.
4. Replace the unwind disc, unwind spring, and collar
onto unwind sha. If using labels on a 3” diameter
core, the hub on each disc will t inside the core
and support the roll of labels. If the labels are on a
1” core, simply slide the disc up snugly against the
roll of labels. When the disc is in place, tighten the
unwind hub screw against unwind sha.
5. read the loose end of labels under and up the
front of the peel plate.
6. Pull the labels over top of peel plate far enough to
reach the waste take-up roll.
9. Turn on On-O switch. e waste wind sha will
turn, winding up backing paper and dispensing a
label at the top of the peel plate. When the Photo Eye
or Micro Switch senses the dispensed portion of the
label, the motor will stop. As each label is removed,
the machine will operate until the next label is in
position to be removed. (CAUTION:) Turn o
switch before removing wound up waste.

7. Remove the waste wind clip, thread label backing
paper under clip, and reinsert clip over loose paper.
8. Position the Photo Eye or Micro Switch Assembly by
loosening wing nuts and moving assembly to right
or le so that the sensor is at or near the center of
the labels. e Photo Eye or Micro Switch Asembly
can be tilted forward or backward by loosening the
mounting bracket vertical adjustment wing nut.
10. If labels tend to follow backing paper over the top
of the peel plate instead of peeling o, then there
is insucient tension on the web of the labels. e
sha adjustment collar should be moved in to put
more tension on the web.
11. If the motor stalls it may be necessary to move
the sha collar out to reduce the amount of
unwind tension.
