What to do if the blade does not cut tape on my 3M Accuglide 3?
- H
  Heather MillerAug 7, 2025
  If the blade of your 3M Power Tool doesn't cut tape, or the tape end looks jagged or shredded, here are a few things to check: * The blade might be dull or have broken teeth, so replace it. * The tape tension could be too low; increase it by adjusting the one-way tension roller. * Adhesive buildup on the blade can be cleaned and adjusted. * Ensure the blade is correctly positioned, bottomed out against the mounting bolts. * The blade might be dry, so lubricate the oiler pad on the blade guard. * Make sure the beveled edge of the blade faces away from the head's entrance. * Replace any missing or stretched cutter springs. * Ensure the tension roller surface fully contacts the taping head frame; press the one-way bearing further into the roller or replace it if necessary.

How to fix too long of a tape leg on the 3M Accuglide 3 Power Tool case?
- J
  Juan SimmonsAug 21, 2025
  If the tape leg on the front of your 3M Power Tool case is too long, consider the following: * Ensure the tape is threaded correctly, going around the wrap roller before the one-way tension roller. * Adjust the one-way tension roller if the tape tension is too low. * Check for adhesive buildup between the knurled roller and its shaft; clean and lubricate the shaft. * Adjust the tape web alignments if the tape tracks to one side or drags on the support tabs of the applying frame. * Position the one-way tension roller correctly in its mounting slot so that the tape extends just beyond the centerline of the applying roller. * Check the leg length adjustments to ensure the taping head is set up properly.
