BP333 Feed Wheel / Blade Height Adjustment
Purpose: This adjustment is to insure that the movable shear blade is raised out of the path of
the tape before the feed wheels grip the tape to feed it forward. Additionally, the adjustment sets
the gripping force between the upper and lower feed wheels so the tape does not slip. If the feed
wheel slips on the tape, a shorter than normal piece of tape is produced.
Tools needed:
3/32” Hex Screw Driver or Allen Wrench
Procedure
1. Open the rear cover, remove the roll of tape and locate the adjustment set screw.
The set screw is located on the cutter yoke inside the machine. See picture below.

leading edge of the tape.
3b. If tape slips at feed wheel and does not feed properly, turn the set screw clockwise
½ turn.
4. Place the roll of tape back and dispense a piece of tape, repeat steps 1-3 if tape hits the
blade or slips.
