After removing the machine from the carton, check the following items before storing the
shipping carton.
1. Brush Tank and 2 Moistening Brushes. These are packed inside the rear of the
machine.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. If the upper tape plate has been dislodged in shipping, replace as follow:
With the slot towards the front of the machine, slide under feed wheel shaft from
rear until the cut-out portions are over the retaining “buttons”. Allow the plate to
slide in place so that the front end of the plate is under the rod and the rear portion
is under the “buttons” (See figure # 2).
Figure # 2
2. Wash out the moistening brushes in soap or mild detergent and place both brushes
into the tank so the angle on the brushes slopes towards the rear of the tank (see
figure # 3). Insert the tank into the opening in front of the machine being sure the
tank is behind the upward lip on the tank shelf.
Figure # 3
3. Fill the bottle with water and place in the
bottle holder so that the spout of the bottle is in the tank. Set correct water level.
4. Adjust the roll guides to proper width of tape.
5. Loading the tape: Take the roll of tape and peel off about 18 inches. Place the
roll of tape in the basket so that the strip of tape unwinds off the rear of the roll as
the leading end is brought towards the front of the machine with the gummed side
down. Thread the tape over the black roller at the upper rear and slide leading
edge forward under the upper tape plate and feed wheel. Close front and rear
cover (see figure # 4A & 4B).

ADJUSTMENTS
For Tape Width
The adjustable roll guides in the tape basket should be properly set for the width of tape
being dispenses. The roll of tape should be centered between the frames by threading the
tape loosely between the roll guides which engage in slots in the basket and roll guide
separator.
To set the roll guides in position, lift them out of the slots in the basket and tie rod. Slide
to the desired position and drop the guides into slots in the bottom of the basket (see
figure # 5).
Figure # 5
Water Level Adjustment
The amount of water required for proper moistening of different grades of tape will
differ. Heavier glues or reinforced tapes will normally require higher levels of water.
Water level is controlled by water level adjustment screw located in the projecting
portion of the water tank (see figure # 6).
Figure # 6
Water Adjustment Screw
To raise the water level, turn the screw out in the counter clockwise direction. To
decrease the water level, turn the screw in the opposite direction.
Repeat Length Stop
Repeat lengths: The Better Pack® 333 Plus is equipped with a feed stop. To set for
desired length, pull outwardly on the feed stop know until the pin disengages the hole in
the drum skirt. Then slide the feed stop assembly until the length desired is set on the
scale just above the feed stop assembly. Release the knob, being sure the pin on the feed
stop engages with the proper hole in the skirt (see figure # 7).

Spring Tension Adjustment
Both operating springs can be seen by turning the Better Pack® 333 Plus upside down
after first removing the water tank and bottle (see figure # 8).

Figure # 8
A
A. The handle return spring (A) is the long spring terminating in a hook type clip
positioned in one of three holes underneath the water tank platform. The other
end is attached to the hammer-cam on the crankshaft.
B. The feed wheel tension spring (B) has one end attached to the rocker carrying the
shear blade and the opposite end attached to a hook positioned in one of several
holes in the basket. Care should be taken no to interchange the two springs. The
feed wheel tension spring (B) is the longer of the two springs. It is also made
from heavier wire.
C. Adjustments of the handle spring (A), to increase tension for faster handle return
or for cutting extremely short lengths, insert the hook on the spring clip in the
second or third hole.
D. Should it ever become necessary to increase the feed wheel tension to compensate
for feed wheel wear, unhook the spring at the basket and move it to the hole
nearer the rear of the machine. For lighter tension, move the spring nearer the
front of the machine.
E. Note that both the above springs act together and that increasing tension on the
feed wheel tension spring may make necessary additional adjustments of the
handle return spring especially if it is desired to cut extremely short lengths of
tape.

BP333 Feed Wheel / Blade Height Adjustment
Purpose: This adjustment is to insure that the movable shear blade is raised out of the path of
the tape before the feed wheels grip the tape to feed it forward. Additionally, the adjustment sets
the gripping force between the upper and lower feed wheels so the tape does not slip. If the feed
wheel slips on the tape, a shorter than normal piece of tape is produced.
Tools needed: 3/32” Hex Screw Driver or Allen Wrench
Procedure
1. Open the rear cover, remove the roll of tape and locate the adjustment set screw.
The set screw is located on the cutter yoke inside the machine. See picture below.
Inside view of BP333
2. Insert a
3/32”
Allen wrench through the U-shaped access hole in the in the (Vertical Tie
Plate) at the front of the tape basket area and into the adjustment set screw.
3a. If tape hits blade, turn the set screw counter-clockwise ½ turn to raise the blade.
Note: The first indication of tape hitting the blade is a bent corner at the left side of the
leading edge of the tape.
3b. If tape slips at feed wheel and does not feed properly, turn the set screw clockwise
½ turn.
4. Place the roll of tape back and dispense a piece of tape, repeat steps 1-3 if tape hits the
blade or slips.
