REWINDING LABELS:

Rewind labels onto any core 25-101mm diameter.

2. Grasp the front Flange Plate with one hand and the rear Fl ange Plate with the other.

Notice the rear Flange Plate has convenient cutouts for your thumb.

3. Rotate the Plates in opposite directions until the three (3) Core Fingers move to the

center next to each other.

4. Slide an empty cardboard core ONLY PART WAY over the Fingers.

5. Now rotate the Flange plates in the opposite direction to expand the Fingers against

the inside of the cardboard core. While you hold the Flanges so the F ingers are tight
against the inside of the Core, move one of the Locking Levers to the LOCK position.
NOTE: If one or more of the Locking Levers is up against the Hub and won’t lock,
pull up on the Lever (away from the Flange Plate) and reposition it.

6. Now move the other two (2) Locking Levers to the LOCK position.

7. Slide the cardboard core all the way up against the Flange Plate.

8. Pull the label web to the cardboard core and use a piece of tape to secure the label

web.

guide the outer edge of the labels and lock it into place.

11. Place the MC-11 (ON-OFF/Direction) Switch to the ON position in the desired
