Polaroid 35 manual From the film holder

8

If no processing tab appears when you pull the Ieader tab: Stop! Do not pull another leader tab. Instead, carefully open the film holder, in dim light, without disturbing the film pack. You can use your fingertip to make sure the pack does not move (15). Take hold of the processing tab that failed to come out, gently pull it all the way out of the film

holder (16), and discard it.

While the door is open, check the developer rollers and the processing-tab slot and, if necessary, clean them. See

Cleaning the developer rollers.

Close and latch the door with the next leader tab extending outside.

If you accidentally pull two leader tabs: Then two processing tabs protrude, at the same time, from the film holder. Both pieces of film will be ruined, and unless you are careful, you may also lose a third picture.

Do not open the film holder. Grip both processing tabs firmly, pull them out together, and discard both pieces of film. This may cause developer to spread inside the film holder. Open the door, and without disturbing the film pack, clean the developer rollers and the slot for the processing tab.

Cleaning the developer rollers: Apply pressure with both thumbs to lift the steel loops and remove the roller assembly

(17) from the film holder.

Clean both rollers with a soft, lint-free cloth, dampened with water, if necessary, or hold the roller assembly under running water. As you clean them, rotate both rollers and inspect them. ( Note that one roller turns more easily than the other.) Never scrape the rollers with anything metallic, nor with your fingernail. Do not attempt to disassemble the rollers.

Blow any dust or lint out from the film chamber. Also clean the slot for the processing tab (18). To reinsert the roller assembly, slide the rollers into position and, using both hands, press the steel loops down flat.

Caution: The Polaroid instant film process uses a caustic paste. Avoid its contact with skin, eyes and mouth and keep it away from children and animals.

If you get some paste on your skin, wipe it off immediately and wash with water to avoid an alkali burn. If eye or mouth contact occurs, quickly wash the area with plenty of water and see a doctor. Keep discarded materials away from children, animals, clothing and furniture.
