TapeTech T05CF Bazooka Continuous Flow Taper - Manual (Page 20)

5. Secure by tightening the clamping nut.
6. The hose can now be connected to the open end of the valve, similar to the way that the valve was attached to
the handle.
7. The corner tool can now be installed over the end of the handle outlet ball.
8. The flow of material from the pump through the handle is actuated by fully squeezing the valve lever. Compound
will flow through the hose, through the handle out of the ball outlet.
9. The operator must ensure the proper amount of joint compound is dispensed by matching the speed of the
corner tool to the flow of material from the pump.
10. If compound is overflowing the corner tool, speed of movement should be increased and/or the pump speed
should be decreased.
11. If there is not enough material, then speed of movement should be decreased and/or the pump speed should be
increased.
12. Speed can be adjusted by pressing the adjustment buttons on the inline mechanical valve.
13. Speed cannot be increased above that set by the control knob on the pump, but can be adjusted up and down
below that setting.
14. Because the pump is supplying the compound for this application, it’s possible to use slightly thicker material for
this application compared to that used with a corner applicator box.
CORNER TOOL OPERATION:
1. Place the corner tool at one end of the joint to be finished.
2. Best results are obtained when the handle is held so that it bisects the angle to be finished and only as much
pressure is applied to fully seat the tool in the angle.
3. Orient the handle so that the neck of the outlet will not bind on the tool being used as you move it along the
angle to be finished.
