Lower hand wheel 24 so that yoke 26 enters the cassette
spool Iug. Put the film leader (Fig 8) into the lot of the take-
up spool so that film perforation engages into mesh with
a tooth of take-up spool 30 (Fig. 5). Holding the cassette
with film with your hand and rotating hand wheel 22 with
the other hand, take up film slack. Make sure the film is
positioned between limiters 28, that it is engaged with
gear 29 and is fixed reliably at take-up spool 30.
If hand wheel 22 has turned up to stop while the film slack
has not yet taken up, press down release knob 10 (Fig. 2)
and continue taking up the slack.
ATTENTION! If the objective and viewfinder are covered
with the guard curtains, release knob 10 is interlocked.
Never press the release knob when the guard curtains are
shut.
