Troubleshooting
Tape not cutting cleanly
Ensure the tape is properly threaded under the roller and that the cutting edge is clean. If residue is present, gently clean it with a dry cloth. The tape roll might be nearing its end, or a different tape width/thickness could be affecting the cut.
Dispenser feels loose or wobbly
Check that the tape roll is correctly seated and that the dispenser's housing is securely closed. Ensure no parts are broken or damaged.
Tape sticking to itself or not adhering well
Verify that the adhesive side of the tape is facing the correct direction during loading. Ensure the surface being taped is clean and dry. If the tape is old, the adhesive may have degraded.
