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
Tapepro
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.
(M-7)
5.
To cut the tape, lift the
Tapepro
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
Tapepro
Mudbox forward, cutting the tape.
6.
Remove the excess compound and bed in the tape using a joint knife.
M-2
Tip: Run the Tapepro Mudbox on one wheel when taping a ceiling, to reduce
the amount of joint compound being squeezed out from under the tape.
(M-9)
CLEANING
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.
M-3
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
can be dismantled by removing the screws on the side plates. When replacing
the screws, do not over tighten.
