Cleaning the tape cutter
After a while, adhesive may accumulate on the
cutter, preventing it from cutting or resulting in the
tape being jammed. Once a year, use a cotton swab
dipped in isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol to clean off
the cutter.
Do not touch the cutter’s edge, otherwise
you may be injured.
