do you have to remove slide from the cardboard surround before putting it in machine?

You do not have to remove the slide from the cardboard surround. The slide holder fits the entire slide and locks it into place.

No the unit comes with 2 holders - one for negatives and one for mounted slides

I cannot get older slides with a larger mount to fit in the slide tray so I'm very disatisfied with this product. Trying to contact the company for another tray but so far no response. I would NOT rate this very high for my trouble!

It is designed to fit the entire slide including the cardboard surround. So, no you do not remove it. They provide a carrier for several (4?) slides at once that you slide through the device.

I did not, just wiped it off with a cloth. You could not put it in the machine, if that's what you mean.

yes, slightly. you want to break it in by racking the slide often. at the same time you will get use to the pull and get very comfortable with the new tention of the slide. after a while of multiple chamber checks, you'll know what to expect pulling the slide. muscle memory/ reflex.

Yes, it's a slide and click. It's easy to remove, not very immediate to slide in.

There is a built in cutter edge on a heavy cardboard and a separate sliding cutter included. I have only used the built in. Works great. There are some complaints about the sliding cutter -- I don't know if it is the EZ one or not.

There is a piece of plastic ribbon on top, labeled "Pull". This should be the only thing you need to remove before inserting the cartridge.

No. This was one of my few complaints. The bed needs the heavy metal slide attached for support.

Yes, remove the cardboard first. Hope they work as well for you as they do for us.

no....it's ready to use when come out of the box. Just be sure to press the yellow button when fold and unfold the base and reels.

No. You place the "lazer bullet" into the opened port. Then rack the slide with each shot. The bullet stays in place until done. To remove use a pencil or similar. Lots of fun and helps accuracy .

you do have to remove the cover in order to use the machine as there are no openings. However, it is very easy to remove and put back on. I have no problems with it

No. The outside slide bumps up against it. You have to block the door somehow.

One print and one slide tray comes with it... but that's all you can use at one time so it should be enough. I bought an extra slide tray 'just in case', but I didn't use it.Chet

Unfortunately, no. But I have not needed to remove them for my use. They do slide open and closed easily

I had two wholes and patched with sticky vinyl which was provided in the box with slides. Or you can buy a patch if you don't have.

No. They don't. It is quite irritating. They are also 2 separate peices. That slide and move and really are not the best quality...
