Operating Instructions and Keypad Controls:

You have three different modes the machine will work under.

The first is random.  By pressing the green RANDOM LENGTH key, tape will dispense until the key is released.  If the piece is too short, pressing the button will dispense more tape.

The second mode is by pre-measured length.  With the black knob turn to adjust the length dispensed from 2" up to 52".  By pressing the black DISPENSE button, a piece will be dispensed.

The third mode is automatic mode.  By setting the length desired with the black knob, pressing AUTO REPEAT button will dispense a piece of tape.  By taking the piece of tape, another will dispense automatically.  To disengage the repeat function, before removing the last piece desired, press the dispense key.  This will deactivate the auto function.

NOTE:  The PS3e is equipped with a safety light and blade protection mechanism.  After a piece of tape is dispensed, the red light will come on.  After a couple of seconds the light will begin to flash.  At about 10 seconds the light will stop flashing and the blade protection mechanism will prevent the blade from cutting the tape.  To reactivate the blade, repress the mode button you were using.  This will release the blade for another cycle.

Tape machine placement:

The PS3e is best placed near the edge of the table if lengths longer than 4 inches is dispensed.  Pressure sensitive tape by nature will stick to whatever surface it touches.  By placing the machine near the edge, tape will dispense down along the front of the table.

Maintenance:

When needed, remove the blade by removing the two bolts and washers.  Carefully clean both sides of the blade with solvent (Lighter fluid, etc.) using caution in avoiding the sharp cutting edge.  Apply a very thin coat of mechanical oil 5 weight or lower to prevent future build up. 

The blade part number is 74002719.  Part number for the tape spool holder is 74005560.  It is recommended to send the machine in for service beyond basic repair items.
