at
all times,
the
front
and
rear
outside surfaces
of
the
lens used
must
be free
of
finger
marks
and
dirt,
and
the
reflex finder
should
be cleaned whenever necessary.
The
outside

must be oiled
regularly.
to
clean
the
lens
It
is impossible to
obtain
sharp
pictures
of
good
con-
trast
unless
the
lens is kept clean.
To
clean
the
lens, carefully
brush
off
any
dust
or
grit
with
wadded
Kodak
Lens
Cleaning
Paper
or
a
fine camel's-
hair
brush.
If
necessary, wipe
the
sur-
faces gently with a
wad
of
one
or
several sheets
of
lens cleaning
paper
or
a clean, soft, lint· free cloth.
Always wipe
with
a
circular
motion.
Fingerprints,
oil
spots,
or
other
scum deposits
can
be
removed
with
a
drop
of
Kodak
Lens
Cleaner on the cloth.

Remove
the
PRESSURE

by
pushing
the
PRESSURE
ARM
to the

and
lifting out
the

With
the ball
of
the
thumb,
rub
off
any
accumula-
tion
of
dirt
on
the
polished
tracks
of
the
plate.
With
a
match

not
use alcohol as a clean·
ing
agent.)
Remove
any
dust
or
lint
on
the
edges of
the
rec-
tangular
aperture.
Be extremely
careful
not
to
scratch
the
polished
surfaces over which
th
e film travels. Never scrape
the
tracks
with a metallic tool.
Since
the
film rides on
the
six
circular
surfaces on
the
aperture
plate
(four
at
the
corners
of
the
aperture,
and
two
near
the
bottom
of
the
plate) ,
make
sure
that
these surfaces
are
clean
before
each roll of film is
threaded
for
use.
