Hi Scott,
Check the manual I linked to. You setup the film that will be on the right side on the left side's pins and then clamp it for the cut.

a bummer, thanks guys - looks like it's not
usable for 35mm. Fortunately I got it cheap, but
cheap is expensive if it doesn't work...
Still, I'm wondering how you align the right-hand
film strip - it looks like there are no holes for pins at all. ??
Jeff, the platens are slightly wider than a strip of 35mm film.
Oh, and the acetone worked great! pins are now
retractable. Too bad I had to buy a quart of it just for 2 drops -- :-)
thank you,
Scott
