Once this switch is engaged, the tape will automatically dispense the preprogrammed length and cut the tape. Once the tape is removed, a new length of tape will be dispensed. This will continue until the switch is pulled downward into the OFF position.
Recommended Maintenance This is a very simple machine to maintain. Periodically, cleaning the blade of excess adhesive that can build-up on the blade over a period of time, will be required. On a regular basis, the cutting mechanism should be removed from the unit and cleaned.
