Water Regulator Rgulateur deau Regulador de agua
Once you have loaded the tape and prepared the moistening system, the Electra is ready for operation; however, if you are using heavy or light weight tape you may need to make adjustments to the water level or to the pressure pad position. Information about these adjustments begins below. For standard operation, to cut any length of tape: 1. Turn the main switch ON. 2. Press the key pad for the desired tape length.
Slection du niveau de leau
Le rglage correct du niveau de leau dpend du poids du papier et de la vitesse de fonctionnement. Pour une distribution rapide, ou lorsque vous utilisez du papier lourd (comme une bande de papier renforc), slectionnez un niveau deau lev. Pour un fonctionnement lent, ou lorsque vous utilisez du papier lger (comme une bande de papier de 15,9 kg), slectionnez un niveau deau bas. Pour ajuster le niveau de leau, desserrez la vis du rgulateur et levez ou abaissez le rgulateur (cf. Figure 6). Dans des conditions de fonctionnement standard, avec une bande de papier de 27,2 kg, laissez la vis du rgulateur au milieu de la fente.
Seleccin del nivel de agua
El nivel de agua correcto depender del peso de la cinta y de la velocidad operativa. Seleccione un nivel de agua alto para la operacin rpida o al usar cinta pesada (por ejemplo, cinta reforzada). Seleccione un nivel de agua bajo para la operacin lenta o al utilizar cinta ligera (por ejemplo, cinta de papel de 15,9 kg). Para ajustar el nivel de agua, afloje el tornillo del regulador y mueva el regulador hacia arriba o hacia abajo (vase Figura 6). Deje el tornillo en el centro de la ranura para la operacin normal con cinta de 27,2 kg.

Selecting the Water Level
The correct water level setting depends upon the weight of the tape and the speed of the operation. For fast operation, or when using heavy tape (such as reinforced tape), select a high water level. For slow operation, or when using lighter tape (such as 35 lb paper tape), select a low water level. To adjust the water level, loosen the regulator screw and move the regulator up or down (see Figure 6). In standard operating conditions, with 60 lb tape, leave the regulator screw in the center of the slot.

Figure 6 Figura 6

High Water Level (90 lb. or Reinforced Tape) Niveau deau lev (bande de papier renforc ou bande de papier de 40,8 kg) Nivel de agua alto (cinta de 40,8 kg o reforzada) Standard Operation (60 lb. Tape) Fonctionnement standard (bande de papier de 27,2 kg) Operacin normal (cinta de 27,2 kg)
Low Water Level (35lb. Tape) Niveau deau faible (bande de papier de 15,9 kg) Nivel de agua bajo (cinta de 15,9 kg)
Slection de la position du tampon de pression
Le dplacement du tampon de pression vers lavant de la machine augmente la pression sur la bande de papier. Pour assurer un fonctionnement sans problmes avec une bande de papier lourd, il faut augmenter la pression. Par exemple, avec une bande de papier renforc ou une bande de papier de 40,8 kg, dplacez le tampon de pression vers lavant. Avec une bande de papier de 15,9 kg, dplacez le tampon de pression vers larrire. Pour un fonctionnement normal avec une bande de papier de 27,2 kg, laissez le tampon de pression au milieu de la fente. Pour changer la position du tampon de pression, desserrez la vis du tampon de pression et faites glisser le tampon vers lavant ou vers larrire (cf. Figure 7). Lorsque le tampon de pression aura t rgl dans la position correcte, resserrez la vis.
Seleccin de la posicin de la almohadilla de presin
Al mover la almohadilla de presin hacia el frente de la mquina aumenta la presin sobre la cinta. Es necesario incrementar la presin para obtener un funcionamiento uniforme con cinta pesada. Por ejemplo, al utilizar cinta de 40,8 kg o reforzada, deber mover la almohadilla de presin hacia adelante. Si usa cinta ligera de 15,9 kg, mueva la almohadilla de presin hacia atrs. Deje la almohadilla de presin en el centro para la operacin normal con cinta de 27,2 kg. Para cambiar la posicin de la almohadilla de presin, afloje el tornillo de la almohadilla y deslice sta hacia adelante o hacia atrs (vase Figura 7). Apriete el tornillo cuando la almohadilla est en la posicin correcta.

Adjusting the Water Temperature
You will rarely need to adjust the water temperature because the factory sets the thermostat for normal operation. If the tape is not sticking to the carton, or if you are using tape other than standard adhesive tape, or if both of these situations exist, you may need to change this adjustment. (See the Troubleshooting section for information about tape not sticking to the carton.) To change the thermostat setting: 1.Turn the switch to the OFF position and unplug the power cord. 2. Remove the water bottle and unhook the water regulator. 3. Remove the brush tank (with the hose and regulator attached) from the tape dispenser by undoing the fastener and pulling holding clip to the left (when facing the front of the machine.) CAUTION: The water in the tank and the exposed heater tube may be hot.
4. Faites tourner la vis de rglage du thermostat avec un tournevis (cf. Figure 9). Pour lever la temprature, faites tourner la vis dans le sens des aiguilles dune montre. Pour labaisser, faites tourner la vis dans le sens contraire. Pour fermer le thermostat, faites tourner la vis de rglage dans le sens contraire des aiguilles dune montre aussi loin que possible. 5. Remontez la brosse, le bac brosse et le rgulateur du niveau deau, et remplissez la bouteille deau.
