Tape Application
Determine where the first skip or long line starts by
measuring from the last existing skip or reference mark.
Adjust the pointer to the pre-marking. Best case is when
the pre-marking and the later tape position are in between
the wheels of the applicator. If primer is used apply tape
exactly on primer.
For starting the application pull handgrip and watch tape
being moved by infeeding-transportation roll. Position
tape start at start of pre-marking. Push applicator forward
and keep handle grip pulled until tape appears on other
side of rubber application roll. Release handle-grip and
keep pushing applicator.

Tape Cutting
Bring the applicator to a complete stop. Keep tape under
slight tension.
Cut tape with one strong and fast movement of foot
pedal. Release the pedal slowly. Do not attempt to cut the
tape while moving. Cutting the tape in motion will
stretch and tear the tape, causing the next line to start off
center.
