Tear Assist Assembly  

Powered Tear Assist (PTA):  

 
This feature was designed to reduce the amount of force required to tear the packaging 
material. Once the material has been dispensed, the Powered Tear Assist feature  
becomes active. To use this feature, simply pull the void-fill material against the Tear  
Assist Assembly in a downward motion as shown below. The Tear Assist Assembly will 
pivot downward slightly, which activates an internal switch. Once the switch is activated, 
the machine will rotate the motor in reverse, pulling the material against the Tear Assist 
Assembly, which tears the material.  
 

Note: In A-FTL Mode, this feature resets after each cycle. When in Manual or 
FTL Mode, the function can be reset by pressing the foot pedal. 

Path of material 

Pulling the material in this 

direction activates the 

Powered Tear Assist
