M-77

Instructions and Parts List 3 ™ Lane Marking Applicator M-77 Description The M-77 is used to apply Vinyl Tape 471 to floor surfaces in manufacturing and commercial plants. The M-77 is used for lane marking, aisle designations, storage boundaries and for channeling traffic to permit direct flow of personnel and products. The M-77 can apply one or two color tape applications on most types of floor surfaces. The wide applying roller is constructed so that it also forces the tape into crevices and depressions often found in older wood and concrete floors.

Position M-77 on a flat surface so applicator rests squarely on handle and front wheels as shown 2. Press out on end of retainer (A) and lift tape drum assembly from applicator. 3. Install tape roll (3 inch or 72 mm to 4 inch or 96 mm wide) on to tape drum assembly so roll is fully against end drum flange (B). 4. Replace tape drum assembly with tape into bracket so tape is dispensed toward apply roller (C), adhesive side down. 5. For double tape roll applications – install second tape roll (1/4 inch or 6 mm to 1 inch or 24 mm wide) onto tape roll shaft between two collars (D) to dispense tape toward applying roll, adhesive side down.

Adhere narrow width tape to wide tape roll and thread both tapes down through applicator frame to underside of applying roller (C). E 7. Hold tape(s) to underside of roller. Lift handle upright and position applicator and tape on surface to be taped in direction of tape application. The M-77 is supplied with a pack of single edge razor blades for use in the tape application cut-off. A magnetic blade holder (E) is located on the tape roll bracket. For safety, place razor blade fully onto holder as shown when not in use. Figure 3 Operating Instructions Surface to be taped must be clear of dust, dirt, grease or other foreign materials. Allow solvents or liquids used for cleaning to dry thoroughly. Use a guide line, such as a chalk line, for best application results. Mark a line (F, Figure 4) on surface, one inch from either edge of desired tape application. For curved tape line applications, distance between guide line and applied tape may vary with some tapes. G Two line guides (E-F, Figure 4) are provided for guiding from either side of applicator. Note: Install the tape drum assembly and tape with the drum flange (B, Figure 1) on the same side as the guide line. If center guide line is desired for tape applications, use black line guide (G, Figure 4) on front wheel shaft. FF Figure 4 To Start Tape Application 1. Position applicator with tape so proper guide is over line as shown (Figure 4). 2. Push applicator forward following guide line. Exert only normal force on applying roller. Maintain even contact between roller and floor. To End Tape Application 1. Hold handle upright and remove razor blade from blade holder. 2. Cut tape directly behind applicator as shown (Figure 5). Replace blade on holder. 3. Lift applicator up by handle to retrieve loose tape end. Hold tape to underside of applying roller and position for next tape application. Rewind tape onto roll(s) when not in use. Curved tape lines may be applied if care is used to insure constant contact between applying roller and floor. It is important that contact is kept for full width of roller. Sharpness of curve is dependent upon width of tape used. If slight wrinkles are encountered on inside of tape curve, smooth or work out with hand pressure. Figure 5 F Figure 6– Replacement Parts Illustration Replacement Parts List Ref.
