6.1. Loading a film, media or waste paper reel or a carton mandrel onto a self blocking roll shaft :
The 5 locking shafts delivered with the machine can be used on any shaft position on the
machine and in either way.
Loading the media on a shaft is made in 2 steps :
The diameter of the carton mandrel should be 76 mm / 3”.
- Insert the shaft into the carton mandrel of the media, or into the carton on which you

shaft.
Before loading the shaft, check the winding way of the media in regards of how it will be fed into the
machine.
Present the shaft where it should be loaded. To make this operation easier, the machine has got
shaft guides on position 2 and 3 on which shaft can rest before being locked in position
Start with the left end side of the shaft then push the right end. Twist the shaft until it gets locked in
the shaft index guide on the left.
