Lubricating the Felt Blade Oiler - Monthly
The blade oiler is a felt pad soaked with oil that presses lightly on the back of the shear blade.
The oil will keep your shear blades lubricated for clean, fast cutting and prolong the life of the
blades. It also extends the time between blade cleanings.
1. Unplug power from the machine!
2. Pull back gently on the blade oiler to move it away from the shear blade.
3. Keep the felt pad slighly moist by adding several drops of light machine oil,e.g. 3-in-1 oil,
at weekly or monthly intervals depending on use. Do not over oil.
Notice: If the felt pad is missing, contact you Better Pack representative for a new oiler Better

Cleaning the Shear Blades
When using reinforced tapes laminated with glue or resin, this material can accumulate on the
blades and interfere with cutting the tape. Even paper tape with no reinforcement can cause an
accumulation of dust and glue on the blades.
Use a small brush and a suitable solvent to remove accumulation.
Never scrap the cutting edge with a hard object because the blade may become dull and need
replacement.
Warning:
Be sure the dispenser is UNPLUGGED
before performing any cleaning
procedures.
General Machine Cleaning
The feed wheel pushes tape through the machine. Obstructions such as dirt or dried glue can
divert the tape and cause it to jam. Periodical cleaning the tape path will mitigate tape jams.
1. Remove the upper tape plate that sets on the tape next to the feed wheel. Pull tape off
from the lower tape plate if it hasn’t already been removed. Clean any dirt and glue from
the upper and lower tape plates.
2. Lift the heater up and clean the bottom of it.
