Item No 10 Spare light tube
Two light tubes are installed in each Mars cabinet above the laminator sheet. To access the light tubes, the laminator sheet
must first be removed. (See fig 3 below)

and frame to drop down. Take care to avoid it dropping
completely
and causing damage.

to avoid inadvertent damage.
