or when a new hot wedge has been installed.

Let the hot wedge cool down!
Danger of burns if the hot wedge is touched!
● Fit the smooth feed rollers, see Chapter 13.03 Changing the feed rollers.

● Engage the hot wedge with the pedal function and start the feed rollers.

the feed rollers and the measurement "x" is the same size at the top and bottom.
