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 Oiler Pad

The taping heads are equipped with a felt oiler pad
that has been pre-lubricated at the factory to
provide a fi lm of oil on the cutting edge of the blade
to reduce adhesive build-up. Apply SAE #30 non-
detergent oil as needed. Saturate felt oiler pad.
Should tape adhesive build-up occur on blade,
carefully wipe clean with an oily cloth.
