Slowly unroll the film and backing paper,
keeping the unrolled film portion tight, until
you can get the other spool into the opposite
slot to the first one.

Have a go on the slots

Insert the cone back into the camera, or slip

the camera back over the cone. Push in the

winder key, turning gently to align with the slot

in the film spool, until it slots home.

Almost there...

Turn the winder key (it should only turn in one

direction) until the number 1 is visible through

the red window. Replace the piece of black

tape to prevent light leaking through the red

window and your camera is now ready to use.
