Operating Instructions for the TAKE-A-LABEL Stainless Steel Label Dispenser
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 the labels under and up the
front of the peel plate.
6. Pull the labels over the top of the peel plate far
enough to reach the waste take-up roll.
7. Remove the waste wind clip, thread the label
backing paper under the clip, and reinsert clip
over loose paper.
8. Position the Photo Eye by loosening the wing nuts
and moving assembly to the right or le, so the
sensor is at or near the center of the labels. e
Photo Eye can be tilted forward or backward by
loosening the mounting bracket’s vertical
adjustment wing nut.

9. Turn on the On-O switch. e waste wind sha
will turn, winding up the backing paper and
dispensing a label at the top of the peel plate. When
the Photo Eye 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.
10. If the labels tend to follow the 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.
