Tape Loading and Threading – The tape drum assembly is set up for dispensing 3/8 inch [9 mm] or 1/2 inch
[12 mm] wide tape. For dispensing other tape widths refer to "Adjustments – Tape Width", page 17. A tape
threading diagram is located outside the applicator on the top of the nest for quick reference.
WARNING – Turn "Off" main air supply at on/off valve before threading tape. Failure to turn
air supply "Off" could result in severe personal injury or equipment damage.
For easy access to tape loading and threading, open
