General Machine Cleaning
The feed wheel pushes tape through the machine. Obstructions such as dirt or
dried adhesive can divert the tape and cause it to jam. Periodical cleaning of the
tape path will reduce tape jams.
Procedure
1.
Remove the upper tape plate that sets on the tape. Pull tape off from
the lower tape plate if it hasn’t already been removed. Clean any dirt
and adhesive from the upper and lower tape plates.
2.
Lift the heater up and clean the bottom of it. Under the heater is a
plate that the tape rides over. Lift the heater and clean between the
plates.
3.
With fingers, lift blade to clear any tape jam that may have obstructed
the cutting area. As you lift the blade, simply remove any tape that
was jammed in the tape path. Caution: blade is very sharp, keep
finger clear of blade edge.
