roll of film centered on the mandrel and the shiny side facing down, run the film 

under the bottom idler bar and pull towards you. 

5.  Refer to the threading diagram.  The top roll of film should run under the silver 

stabilizer bar and over the front of the top heat shoe.  Remember, the shiny side of 

the film must always go against the shoe.  The dull (adhesive) side must face 

away from the shoe.  Make sure the two rolls are aligned with each other before 

going to the next step. 

6.  Turn the machine on and heat to the desired temperature. 

7.  With both rolls threaded and installed in their respective brackets, unwind enough 

film from the top roll to reach the bottom of the bottom heat shoe.  Next, unwind 

enough film from the bottom roll to reach the top of the top heat shoe.
