Step-by-Step Guide
The following steps will guide you through the process of loading the Duck packing tape dispenser:
Step 1: Prepare the Dispenser
Before you start loading the dispenser, make sure that it is clean and free from any residues. To do this, use a clean cloth to wipe the dispenser and remove any debris that may obstruct the tape's path. Also, ensure that the cutting blade is sharp and unobstructed.
Step 2: Remove the Old Roll of Tape
If there is an old roll of tape in the dispenser, you need to remove it before loading a new one. To do this, locate the tape brake knob (usually found at the front of the dispenser) and turn it clockwise to release the tape holder. Then, gently pull out the old roll of tape from the holder.
Step 3: Load the New Roll of Tape
Once you have removed the old roll of tape, it is now time to load a new one. Start by taking the new roll of tape and insert it onto the tape holder. Make sure that the sticky side of the tape faces downwards. Then, pull out a few inches of tape and feed it through the slot found at the front of the dispenser.
Step 4: Adjust the Tape Tension
After loading the new roll of tape, you need to adjust the tape tension to ensure that the tape feeds properly and without too much resistance. To do this, turn the tape brake knob anticlockwise to tighten the tape. Then, test the dispenser by pulling out a few inches of tape and cutting it using the cutting blade. If the tape feeds smoothly and is easy to cut, you have set the right tape tension.
Step 5: Secure the Tape Holders
Finally, once you have adjusted the tape tension, you need to secure the tape holders to keep the roll of tape in place. To do this, push the tape holders back in place and turn the tape brake knob clockwise to lock them in position. Your Duck packing tape dispenser is now loaded and ready to use.
Conclusion
Loading a Duck packing tape dispenser may seem daunting at first, but with the right steps, the process is straightforward. By following the above guide, you can quickly load your dispenser and start using it to pack and seal boxes with ease. Remember to keep the dispenser clean, load the tape correctly, adjust the tension, and secure the tape holders for the best results.
