LOADING
Tip: 150m rolls of paper tape reduce paper changes during a job.
1. Start a tail by pulling the paper tape through the outlet until the tape is wet with mud, then cut off any dry tape.
2. Pull the lever back and press the paper tape rollers against the point where you would like to begin taping.
3. Start rolling and release the lever. For best results when taping vertical joints, start at the bottom of the joint.
4. Continue to roll the Mudbox along the joint, keeping the head of the box in front of you at all times, this will prevent tape dragging along the joint.
5. To cut the tape, lift the Mudbox off the wall and allow the cutter blade to swing around and rest against the tape. Re-apply pressure to the wall and roll the Mudboxforward, cutting the tape.
6. Remove the excess compound and bed in the tape using a joint knife.
It is important to clean your Tapepro Mudbox after every use, doing this will maximise lifespan. Do not allow the compound to set in the box or on the rollers. To thoroughly clean the tool, use a stiff brush and hose to remove all loose joint compounds. If a build up of dry joint compound does occur,the Mudbox can be dismantled by removing the screws on the side plates. When replacing the screws, do not over tighten.
All manufacturing faults are covered under the warranty. All non wear parts are covered under a 3 year warranty.
