Blade Guard
The blade guard covers the blade
whenever a box is not being taped.
Periodically check to be sure the
blade guard is functioning properly
and returning to cover the blade.
Replace any defective parts.
Blade Grease Pad
To reduce adhesive build-up, the taping
heads are equipped with a factory pre-
lubricated felt grease pad that provides
a
fi
lm of grease on the cutting edge of
the blade. Blade maintenance should
include keeping felt pad saturated with
grease. Should tape adhesive build-up
occur on blade, carefully wipe clean with
light solvent or grease soaked cloth.

sharp blade hazards:

ngers away from

ff

guards. The blades are extremely sharp.

performing any adjustments, mainte-
nance, or servicing the taping heads
