NOTE: The TAKE-A-LABEL dispenser is shipped mounted to a base to prevent shifting in the container. Remove the machine from the base.
Always load the TAKE-A-LABEL dispenser with the On-Off Switch in the OFF position.
- To load a roll of labels on the TAKE-A-LABEL, loosen the unwind hub screw on the unwind collar and remove the collar, unwind spring and disc from the unwind shaft.
- Place a roll of labels on the unwind shaft so that the beginning of the roll is on the bottom of the web coming off to your right as you face the side of the machine.
- Replace unwind disc, unwind spring and collar on unwind shaft. If using labels on a 3" diameter core, the hub will fit inside the core and support the roll of labels. If labels are on a 1" core, simply slide disc up snug against the roll of labels. When the disc is in place, tighten unwind hub screw against unwind shaft.
- Thread loose end of labels under and up the front end of the stripping plate.
- Lift the label switch trip wire and, holding the trip wire sufficiently high to allow clearence, pull labels over top of stripping plate far enough to reach the waist take-up roll.
- Remove the waist wind clip, thread label backing paper under clip, and reinsert clip over loose paper.
- Position switch assembly by loosening thumb screws and moving assembly to right or left so that the trip wire is at or near the center of the labels. The label switch assembly can be tilted forward or backward by loosening the mounting bracket vertical adjustment wing nut.
- Turn on On-Off switch. The waist wind shaft will turn, winding up backing paper and exposing a label at the top of the stripping plate. When the label lifts the trip wire the motor will stop. As each label is removed, the machine will operate until the next lable is in position to be removed. CAUTION: Turn off switch before removing wound up waist.
- If labels tend to follow backing paper over the top of the stripping plate instead of peeling off and lifting the label switch trip wire, there is probably insufficient tension on the web of the labels. The unwind tension adjustment collar should be moved in to put more tension on the web.
- If the motor stalls it may be necessary to move the tension adjustment collar out to reduce the amout of unwind tension.
