The AccuGlide™ STD
II
2 Inch Taping Head has
been designed for long, trouble free service. The
taping head will perform best when it receives
routine maintenance and cleaning. Taping head
components that fail or wear excessively should be
promptly repaired or replaced to prevent damage to
other portions of the head or to the product.

1.
Loosen, but do not remove, the knife screws
(A). Remove and discard old knife.
2.
Mount the new knife (B) with the beveled side
away from the knife holder.
3.
Bottom the knife slots against the screws. (This
will position the knife at the correct angle.)
Tighten the knife screws to secure the knife.
Note – Check the knife position to insure
proper clearance between knife and guard
by slowly pivoting the knife guard back.
Knife Guard
The knife guard covers the knife whenever a box is
not being taped. Periodically check to be sure the
knife guard is functioning properly and returning to
cover the knife. Replace any defective parts.
Knife Oiler Pad
The taping heads are equipped with a felt oiler pad
that has been pre-lubricated at the factory to
provide a film of oil on the cutting edge of the knife
to reduce adhesive build-up. Apply SAE #30 non-
detergent oil as needed. Saturate felt oiler pad.
Should tape adhesive build-up occur on knife,
carefully wipe clean with an oily cloth.
Cleaning
Regular slotted containers produce a great deal of
dust and paper chips when conveyed through
taping heads. If this dust is allowed to build-up on
the heads, it can cause wear on the moving parts.
Excessive dirt build-up should be wiped off with a
damp cloth. Cleaning should be done once per
month, depending on the number and type of boxes
used. If the boxes used are dirty, or if the
environment in which the heads operate is dusty,
cleaning on a more frequent basis may be
necessary.
Note – Never attempt to remove dirt from
taping heads by blowing it out with compressed
air. This can cause the dirt to be blown inside
the components onto sliding surfaces. Dirt in
these areas can cause serious equipment
damage. Never wash down or subject taping
heads to conditions causing moisture
condensation on components. Serious
equipment damage could result.
