| Adhesive tape not dispensing smoothly or jamming. | Excessive pressure during application, or incorrect angle. | Apply with light, consistent pressure. Ensure the applicator is held at a consistent angle (approximately 45 degrees) to the surface. |
| Adhesive not sticking effectively. | Surface may be unsuitable, or adhesive cartridge is empty. | Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and compatible with permanent adhesive. Check if the cartridge needs refilling. |
