PUSH back the lever"q' in the direction of the arrow until a click is heard - Place the film over the sprockets so that the teeth engage in the perforations. Form two loops of equal sixe with the two white dots "v" and "w" as their boundaries. Incidentally note that a hole in the film perforation lies exactly opposite the white dot "n". Lift the head disk of the lever "q" slightly outwards and push it back into its former position. Before replacing the lid of the Kinamo press two or three times on the release button to make sure that the film is running correctly, i.e. that the loops retain their right size. Should difficulties arise kindly see detailed instruction booklet.
