  How do I use the noissue Tape Dispenser? 

  Setting up your noissue Tape Dispenser is a breeze! All you have to do is:

  2. Remove the back roller, insert it through the core of your tape roll, and place the roller and tape roll back into the dispenser. Make sure your tape is facing up (adhesive side down) when pulling it towards the front of the dispenser!

  3. Feed the tape (1) under the middle roller, and then (2) up and over the front roller.

  3. Slide the end of your tape under the metal tear bar and pull it through to the other side.

  4. Pull your tape to the desired length (the bottom of it should be gliding across the damp sponge roller), and then tear it across the metal teeth to cut!
