clearance between blade and guard by
slowly pivoting the blade guard back.

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

cutoff blades under orange blade guards.
The blades are extremely sharp
To reduce adhesive build-up, the taping heads are
equipped with a factory pre-lubricated felt oiler pad
that provides a fi lm of oil on the cutting edge of the
blade. Blade maintainance should include keeping
the felt oiler pad saturated with Silicone.
Should tape adhesive build-up occur on blade,
carefully wipe clean with an oily cloth.
