HOW TO USE A MASKER. Using A 3M Hand Masker. How to use a tape dispenser.

What happens here

Locate the cutting blade on the masker. Be cautious as new blades are extremely sharp. The blade assembly has four holes that allow for adjustment based on the width of your masking tape. For 1-inch tape, the blade should be set in the second hole from the edge, ensuring it's completely even with the tape's edge. If using 1.5-inch tape (though less common), you would set the blade in the third hole to accommodate the wider tape. This adjustment ensures a clean cut and proper alignment with the masking material.

Goal: Set the cutting blade to match the tape width for a clean edge.

Got a good set. Ready to go. The blade itself comes off. You got to be careful when these things are brand new. They're extremely sharp. So you want to set it's got four holes and the holes are there so you can set it according to your tape. The second hole in set it where the mask or the blade is completely even with the tape just like that. If you got inch and a half tape then you're going to want to set into third hole in which sets the blade out wider as you can see. So I'm using 1 in tape. Going to set my blade
