Operating Instructions
Once the machine has been properly setup for use, pull the operating handle to the
desired length that is on the scale and release the handle, when the handle returns to the
resting position the tape will be cut. The mechanical stop is provided on the side of the
machine (Figure 2) to be used if a known length will be used repeatedly. The mechanical
stop can moved to the desired position by loosening the knurled nut a half of a turn and
sliding up or down the slot in the machine and retightening.
Caution: The knurled nut should never be removed.
Maintenance
The Marsh TD2100 requires very little maintenance, but it is important to regularly clean
the brush, brush tank, cutter mechanism, and remove debris from the tape path. A
suggested time for cleaning the machine and its parts is at the same time as when the
water bottle needs to be refilled.
CAUTION: For units with a power switch (units with heater), before beginning
maintenance or adjustments be sure the tape machine is turned off and unplugged.
