PRELIMINARY SETUP - CRADLE MOUNT
FILM THREADING - CRADLE MOUNT
There is a film threading diagram located on the right side of
the unit.
Film threading is very important to achieve proper film tension.
Route the bottom film first.
Facing the tension knob side of the machine, the film should
come off the roll counter-clockwise and go in-between the two
rollers it sits on.
Pull film under the film guide roller (1), and up through the film
selector rollers, starting with the nearest slot to the hot plate
first (2).
The black tension knobs (3) can be adjusted for proper tension
on the film by loosening or tightening the knob.
ADJUSTING FOR DIFFERENT WIDTH FILMS
Squeeze the metal clips (4) and push the white plastic guides (5) until they are up against the sides of the film roll. These
help keep the roll centered.
