B) Using the Adjustable Core Holder (ACH)
•
Unlock the three locking levers underneath the plate by turning them clockwise.
(FIG. 8)
•
If any of the levers are difficult to grasp, pull the lever arm down, and turn the arm to reposition it so that it is approxi-
mately perpendicular to the cylindrical metal hub.
(FIG. 9)
•
While holding the upper plate firmly, rotate the black plate beneath it to contract the three knurled
“
fingers
”
together
that comprise the core
-
holder.
(FIG. 9 & FIG. 10)
•
Place an empty core over the
“
fingers
”
about half
-
way down and rotate the black plate again to bring the
“
fingers
”
in contact with the core.
(FIG. 11 & FIG. 12)
•
Remove the empty core and expand the
“
fingers
”
an additional 1/16 of an inch in order to prevent the core
from slipping.
•
Lock the locking levers by turning them counter
-
clockwise.
(FIG. 9)
•
Reposition the lever arms if necessary by pulling straight down and rotating them to a convenient position.
(FIG. 9)
•
Press the empty core all the way down onto the expanded
“
fingers
”.
(FIG. 12)
•
The core should now be held tight on the
“
fingers
”;
If it is not tight enough, re
-
do the operation.
•
When satisfied with the fit, the empty core can be removed and a full roll with the same core size can be
pressed onto the fingers and against the plate.
(FIG. 13)
•
For easy removal of the roll from the ACH, release one of the locking levers temporarily, remove the roll and
re
-
tighten the locking lever.
•
Once the ACH diameter is set, the next empty core or roll can be placed on the
ACH without readjusting the locking levers.
