Troubleshooting
Tape Does Not Advance:
1. If the clamp springs have been overly stretched,
there will not be enough tension to advance the
tape. The springs should be replaced.
2. If the GUIDE BARS are too tight to the roll,
the tape will not advance properly. The bars
should be positioned so that the tape can
advance freely but hold the tape from moving
side to side.
3. If the teeth on the clamp are severely worn,
there will not be enough force to advance the
tape. See Replacement Parts or call your 3M
representative.
4. Check to see if the tape releases from itself
properly. There should be no adhesive picking
from the back side of the tape to the topside of
the next layer.
Tape Does Not Cut:
The tape will not cut cleanly if cutting is done
while the applicator is in motion. If the knife edges
are dull or out of alignment, the knives should be
sharpened and adjusted. (See Adjustments.) Clean
adhesive buildup from knives. (See Maintenance.)
