out of the film holder (17). A large yellow
tab will appear. (if not, see No yellow
tab?)

Grip the yellow tab firmly, and pull it
straight, at moderate speed, all the way
out of the holder (18).

of prints and negatives is in the film
instructions. See Caution.
Caution
The Polaroid instant film process uses a
caustic paste. Avoid contact with skin,
eyes and mouth and keep away from
children and animals. If you get some
paste on your skin, wipe it off imme-
diately and wash with water to avoid
an alkali burn. If eye or mouthcontact
occurs, quickly wash the area with
plenty of water and see a doctor. Keep
discarded materials away from children,
animals, clothing and furniture.
Operations 5
No white tab?
Carefully open the door and, without
moving the film pack, push the white tab
out (21). Then close and latch the door.
No yellow tab?
Do not pull another white tab. Instead,
carefully open the holder far enough to
get a finger on top of the film pack to
hold it down ( 22) Grasp the topmost
yellow tab, and gently pull it all the way
out of the holder (23) and discard it.
Inspect the rollers and clean them if
necessary (see Clean the developer
rollers). Close and latch the door, with
the next white tab sticking out.
Clean the developer rollers
Dirt on the developer rollers can cause a
variety of problems, such as repeated
spots on pictures and jammed film.
Inspect the rollers before loading film,
and clean them as follows.
With both hands, lift the steel loops,
and remove the roller assembly (24).
Clean both rollers with a soft, lint-free
cloth, dampened with water if necessary
(25). Or, hold the roller assembly under
clean running water. Rotate both rollers
as you clean and inspect them. Note
that one roller turns more easily than the
other. Never scrape the rollers with any-
thing metallic, nor with your fingernail,
and never attempt to disassemble the
rollers. Also clean the film tab slot (28).
Then replace the roller assembly.
