Before connecting to the mains supply
The voltage and frequency of your projector must match those indicated on
your mains supply meter.
a) Voltage
If the mains voltage does not match. unscrew the fixing screws A, remove the
back, pull off the red plug Btowards the left and attach it to the correct terminal,
Some supply systems are liable to carry temporary overvoltage’s which can lead
to premature projection lamp failure. Where this arises, it is best to adjust the
projector to the next higher voltage setting (for instance 230 volts Instead of
220 volts), This also extends the burning life of the lamp while slightly reducing
the light output.
b) Frequency
The frequency setting can be changed only on the special version of the
projector. To do this, pull off the blue plug C and attach it to the correct terminal.
Move the lever D so that the appropriate frequency indication appears
horizontal.
c) Transport Lock

For safety in transit, the motor is secured in its central position by two
restraining screws E. Before you first connect the projector to the mains these
must be removed (unless already removed by your projector supplier).

Automatic threading
The film automatically threads itself through to the take-up reel core. An
ingenious system automatically sets the correct the picture/sound separation
(18 frames with Super-8 and Single-8, 56 frames with standard-8) A few points
are however important for perfect operation of the automatic threading system:
Tho sprocket guards must be closed, all splices must be perfect and the film
should have a leader about 20 inches (50 cm) long. The end of this leader should
be slightly curved inwards (clockwise as seen from the reel side of the
projector), cleanly trimmed and - especially important - Free from creases. Use
the film trimmer supplied. Fully depress the threading key, insert the film only
with the main switch set to threading'
Silent and Sound projection
1Connecting the projector to the mains supply. This immediately starts
pro-heating the lamp to ensure maximum operating life.
2Erect the reel arms and mount the reels The full reel goes on the front
arm, the empty one on the rear arm. When you look towards the screen
from behind the projector, the film perforations must be an the right –i.e.
towards you as you thread the film from the side
3When using a 600 foot (10 metre) reel - for instance the EUMIG universal
AS 21 reel - raise the catch and swing the reel arm fully upwards.
4Move the main switch to "threading” Do not thread with the switch set to
"forward projection".
5Press the threading key, which closes the film channel.
6Then guide the film leader into the threading slot. Important: Keep the
threading key depressed until the film runs onto the take-up reel
7Turn the main switch to "forward projection.
Important: When operating the projector, do not obstruct the air stream
emerging from the ventilation slots.
