USING THE

THE TAPE TIGHT IS USED TO DISPENSE ELECTRICAL TAPE AND WRAP IT TIGHTLY ONTO THE OBJECT BEING TAPED.

 

THUMBSCREWS ON EACH SIDE ARE USED TO PUT TENSION ON THE ROLL SO THAT THE TAPE STRETCHES AS IT WRAPS ONTO THE WORK. 

 

THE TAPE TIGHT SHOULD ONLY BE USED WITH TOP QUALITY TAPE TO ASSURE GOOD RESULTS.  IT IS DESIGNED TO BE USED WITH

3M SUPER 33+ TAPE.

 

LOAD THE TAPE SO IT FEEDS OUT WITH THE STICKY SIDE UP.

-LET THE WIRE SET BETWEEN THE ROLLERS AS THE TAPE TIGHT IS TURNED AROUND IT.

 

-THE TAPE TIGHT CAN ALSO BE SET ON THE BENCH WHILE THE WIRE IS TURNED TO WIND ON THE TAPE .
