Loading Tape in a Tape Gun: A Step-by-Step Guide
As professionals in various industries, ranging from construction to beauty treatments, we all use various tools to get the job done efficiently. Among them, tape guns play an essential role in creating binding, holding, or dressing various materials together. Without proper loading, however, these tools become worthless.
In this article, we will provide you with the ultimate guide on how to load tape in a tape gun. Please proceed with caution, and it’s recommended that you closely follow the steps provided as improper loading may cause device malfunction or compromise its effective performance.
Choosing the Right Tape Gun and Adhesive Tape
Before embarking on the journey, it’s essential to select the appropriate tape gun and adhesive tape designed for your specific industry needs and requirements. Take notice of the thickness and length of your tape, as they usually vary depending on the adhesive type and usage purpose (e.g., mussels, carpeting, glass, or painting). Choosing the right combo guarantees optimum performance and saves your material from damage or non-intended consequences.
Important Safety Precautions (Before Loading Tape)
Before loading the tape onto the gun, consider implementing the following essential safety measures to mitigate potential risks and complications.
• Keep a tidy workspace: Minimize cord clutter and clear surrounding work areas to ensure stable footwork and precise operations
• Disconnect from external power sources: This keeps the device away from excessive heat, electric arcs, or electrical short-circuiting
• Turn off the gun before repairs: This simple measure assists in preventing unexpected trigger-firing or accidents caused by malfunctioning mechanical parts during loading
How to Load Tape in a Tape Gun: Step-by-Step Guide
Below follows a comprehensive 7-steps approach, encompassing both automatic wind-up and constant tension settings to give you a broad comprehension for loading tape efficiently in numerous tape guns:
Automatic Wind-up Method***
The following steps serve as comprehensive guidelines for devices configured automatically:
- Pull or remove the used cartridge reel from the device:
Place the empty, expended tube away from work stations due to the tape sticking. Cleanliness prevails on this front for effective execution. - Place the loaded new/used tape on a dedicated reel.
Handle roll storage to a safe shelf, and take stock only when necessary.
