Hi All

I recently acquired a Maxant Series 1700 decapper. It's the type where you
put a single frame into a holder and press down on a lever to lower the
frame between two rotating shafts with chains on them. I was told that I
should change my supers to 9 frame to make this work properly. I have
uncapped with a hot knife and/or a comb up until now. I have never even seen
a decapper of any sort before, so I haven't a clue how to use it and what to
watch out for. I would appreciate all the pointers that I can get.

Thanks, Bob
