the spindle to fit the inside diameter of the core (see the core
diameter markings on the spindle).
5 Put the label between the label guides and pull it forward.
6 Peel away the label from the first 10 cm (4 in) of the liner.

peel-off mechanism so that it protrudes from the slot below
the mechanism.
8 Hold the labels and pull on the liner until it becomes tight.
