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.

Still, I'm wondering how you align the right-hand

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
