Apply adhesive(s) to the prepared (skived) belt/tape ends.
Place
the
belt/tape ends on top of one another and in the center of the appropriate guide rail. Pay
attention to the marked lines (see also section 9).
Place
the covering plate in a position slightly offset (to assist in removal after pressing) and mount the
fixing clamps.
Open
the hot-pressing device by pressing together the handles (5) and place the guide rail in the hot-
