ADjUSTInG THE ROLL GUIDES cOnTInUED
• Set the space between the guides to just larger than
the width of the tape.
• Use the guides to center the tape as much as
possible by inserting each tab into a slot the same
distance from the outside edge of the panel. For
example, if you set the bottom part of the guide in
the second slot from the outside edge of the panel,
set the front part of the guide also into the second
slot from the outside edge.
LOADInG THE TAPE
1. cut the end of the tape so that it has a clean,
square end to feed under the drive wheel.
2. Load the tape roll into the basket so that:
• The adhesive side is down.
• The roll is upright between the roll guides.
(See Figure 4)
• The end of the tape goes over the:
a. Top of the roll from back to front.
b. Lift roller then rubber roller
• The end of the tape is fed under the upper tape
plate and drive wheel; and is butted against the shear
blade.
3. close the top cover.

NOTE: The front part of the top cover is attached
to the rear part with plastic pivot points. To
attach or detach the front part to or from the
rear, squeeze the back part of the top cover
just below the pivot point to spread the opening
where the front part attaches. This will allow the
pivot knobs to fit into the slots. (See Figure 5)

• Over the rubber roller drive wheel
2. When the cutouts in the sides of the plate are above
the retaining buttons, drop the plate down and slide
