LEVEL5 DRYWALL BANJOSemi-Automatic Drywall Banjo SKU: 5-311UPC: 810091330661 OVERVIEW The LEVEL5 Banjo Drywall Taper is an intermediate or “semi-automatic” tool that enables you to apply paper tape or Fibafuse to flat drywall seams with precision and efficiency. While not quite as fast as an automatic drywall taper (#4-760), the banjo is much faster than hand taping. For any drywall finishing job of 10 sheets or more, this tool will save you valuable time while achieving professional results. It is also easy to clean when the job is done. The LEVEL5 Banjo Drywall Taper is a commercial-grade workhorse. It features an aircraft-grade aluminum body that has been fully anodized for corrosion resistance. The hinged lid has a high quality urethane rubber seal and industrial-quality latches. The banjo also features an adjustable flow gate with an integrated tape cutter as well as a comfortable, soft-grip handle.SAVE TIME & MAKE MORE MONEY | Simultaneously apply an even coat of joint compound and tape over flat drywall seams. By using a LEVEL5 Banjo, you'll save valuable time, achieve professional results, and increase your profitability.EASY TO USE | Features a flow gate with an integrated tape cutter. Based on the compound's consistency, you can easily adjust the amount of dispensing compound. When you complete a seam, you can cut the tape without a knife.EASY TO MASTER | The LEVEL5 Banjo is easy to use and can be learned in minutes. Plus, it's simple to teach others and scale up your drywall finishing business!EASY TO MAINTAIN | With a hinged cover that opens wide, cleaning and maintaining your LEVEL5 Banjo is a breeze. With proper cleaning and lubrication, your LEVEL5 Banjo will last indefinitely.DURABILITY AT ITS BEST | Built from aircraft-grade aluminum, LEVEL5 Banjos are lightweight, yet built to withstand the rigors of commercial use. All surfaces are anodized for corrosion resistance and peak performance.GUARANTEED PERFORMANCE | If you're not satisfied with your purchase within the first 30 days, returns through Amazon are easy.

You should be able to pour it from your bucket into the compound chamber. Alternatively, you can use a LEVEL5 Compound Pump (#4-771) with a flat box filler valve (included) or LEVEL5 Compound Tube (#4-741) with its flat box filler nozzle installed. PREPARING THE LEVEL5 BANJOPlace a tape roll onto the tape roll dispenser and insert the leading end of the tape into the slot that enters the compound chamber. If the tape is creased, ensure that the crease points down towards the bottom of the Banjo.Inside the compound chamber, insert the tape end through the slot located in the tape dispensing head at the front end of the taper.Pull the tape upwards, following the contours at the top of the compound chamber.Load joint compound into the compound chamber below the tape. The pressure created when you pull the tape through the compound chamber while operating the banjo will coat the back of the tape evenly.PRO TIP: Avoid overfilling the compound chamber as two things could happen: (1) it may become challenging to pull the tape through the compound chamber, resulting in tearing the tape inside the banjo or (2) the seals won't function correctly, causing excessive leakage.Always prime the banjo by pulling the tape through until no dry tape is coming out of the dispensing head. Cut off and discard the dry tape, and you are ready to go.Note that you can loosen two thumbscrews and adjust the gate/cutter on the tape dispensing head to control the compound flow to your preference. OPERATING THE LEVEL5 BANJOPlace your hand through the strap on the side of the banjo, ensuring that your thumb rests on the thumb tab, and wrap the rest of your fingers around the base of the tool.Hold the banjo with one hand and pull out a length of tape roughly equivalent to an arm's span with your free hand. Apply the tape edge to the beginning point of the seam and push the span of tape down along the seam.Next, apply pressure on the tape near the dispensing head with your free hand, so you can move the banjo forward along the seam. Apply pressure to the tape every two or three feet, repeating the process until the end of the seam. It may take some time to master the technique, but once you do, you will be able to move quickly along the seam.When you reach the end of the seam, press the tape against the drywall with the taper cutter's edge, and quickly pull the banjo to tear the tape.To complete the taping process, we recommend using a 6-inch joint knife (#5-406) along with a mud pan (#5-332) or a hawk (#5-325) to bed the tape down, removing any excess compound and air pockets behind the tape. The result should be a smooth, flat, and clean surface over the taped seam, ready for final finishing. CLEANING & LUBRICATION A PRESSURE WASHER MAKES CLEANING FASTTo ensure that your LEVEL5 automatic and semi-automatic tools last longer, it is crucial to clean them thoroughly before storing them between jobs. Although not required, a lightweight and portable pressure washer, commonly used for washing vehicles, can make light work of the cleaning process. There are many cost-effective options available on Amazon with good ratings. LUBRICATE AFTER CLEANINGOnce your automatic and semi-automatic tools are clean, it is important to lubricate all the moving parts to displace any remaining water and reduce the risk of corrosion. IMPORTANT: avoid using standard WD-40 or similar lubricants as they can be caustic and damage the rubber seals and gaskets, which in turn can affect tool performance. In fact, it's best to steer clear of any spray lubricants unless you are certain of the propellant used. For example, many spray cans use solvents like benzene as a propellant, which is a solvent. We recommend using simple, low cost 3-in-1 machine oil, available in metal squeeze cans, to lubricate every moving part before and after use. Alternatively, if you prefer to spray the oil onto your tools, you can buy it in a larger format and apply using a hand spray bottle. 7-YEAR WARRANTY 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEED LEVEL5 makes workhorse drywall finishing tools that set the standard for quality & reliability.
