6.2 Mode Selection (Manual/Automatic)

The dispenser supports dual operation modes:

• Automatic Mode: In this mode, the dispenser will automatically cut and dispense the next piece of tape once the previous piece is removed. This is ideal for high-volume, repetitive tasks.
• Manual Mode: In this mode, the dispenser will cut and dispense one piece of tape each time the "START" button is pressed.

Use the "AUTO/MANU" button on the control panel to switch between these modes. The digital display will indicate the current mode.

6.3 Setting Tape Length

You can set the desired tape cutting length using the control panel:

• Adjusting Length: Use the "+" and "-" buttons to increase or decrease the cutting length. The digital display will show the set length in millimeters. The range is 5mm to 999mm (0.2 to 39.3 inches).
• Preset Lengths: The dispenser features 6 preset cutting lengths (A, B, C, D, E, F). Press the "SELECT" button to cycle through these predefined lengths.

Once the tape is loaded and the length is set:

• In Manual Mode: Press the "START" button. The dispenser will feed and cut one piece of tape to the set length.
• In Automatic Mode: The dispenser will automatically feed and cut the first piece. After you remove the cut tape, the intelligent sensor will detect its removal and automatically dispense the next piece.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your tape dispenser.

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the dispenser with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or volatile liquids like thinner or benzine.
• Blade Maintenance: The high-quality knife box is designed for durability. If tape residue accumulates on the blade or cutting mechanism, carefully remove it using the provided tweezers. The knife box is dismountable for easier cleaning and maintenance.
• Lubrication: Apply a small amount of the provided lubricant to the moving parts of the cutting mechanism periodically, as indicated in the manual or if you notice increased friction.
