3.  Bottom the blade slots against the screws. (This 
will position the blade at the correct angle.)  
Tighten the blade screws to secure the blade.
Blade Guard
The blade guard covers the blade whenever a box 
is not being taped. Periodically check to be sure the 
blade guard is functioning properly and returning to 
cover the blade. Replace any defective parts.
Blade Oiler Pad
To reduce adhesive build-up, the taping heads are 
equipped with a factory pre-lubricated felt oiler pad 
that provides a fi lm of oil on the cutting edge of the 
blade.  Blade maintainance should include keeping 
the felt oiler pad saturated with Silicone.
Should tape adhesive build-up occur on blade, 
carefully wipe clean with an oily cloth.
The AccuGlide™ 3 High Speed 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.
