At first I couldn't figure this out either, but then I realized it was too simple... You don't load the tape through anything as it appears. Simply put the tape on sticky side down. It runs under the roller. I have no problems using just one hand to do this. You just have to twist your hand a bit when you are ready to cut it. (rather than trying to go straight down, in which you use extra tape as someone else mentioned) Although, I had some of the earlier mentioned issues at first, once I figured it out, it's so easy. Hope that helps. I think the clear plastic piece just acts as a guard. Could do without it, but I'm sure it's requried for safety.

Comments about Staples® 3" Packaging Tape Dispenser Kit:
I just bought this. It comes without instruction on how to load tape in the package. The loading process is not clear. A simple diagram would help immensely!
Comments about Staples® 3" Packaging Tape Dispenser Kit:
I have looked at several staples tape dispensers comments and the majority say there are no instructions on how to load. Can someone at Staples provide instructions? It can't be that hard, but it sure appears to be difficult. Or it's just a lousy product.

Comments about Staples® 3" Packaging Tape Dispenser Kit:
It doesn't come with instructions which is bad but it makes you think which is good...or do some research, read the reviews. Slide the tape under the black roller piece sticky part down and that's it. Easy to use with one hand.
